About this item
Tiny, translucent fish with a silvery sheen and almost no scales. They are delicate, so they cook in seconds: dust them in flour and fry until crisp, stir them through egg, or drop them into a clear broth at the very last moment. The flavour is mild and faintly sweet, closer to a soft shellfish than to a strong oily fish, which makes them a gentle introduction for anyone unsure about seafood. Keep the heat high and the pan shallow, and they stay crisp rather than greasy.
