INGREDIENTS:
225g/8 oz tiny fresh fish (whitebait, smelts, anchovies, herrings, prawns, or a combination) 70g/2-1/2 oz plain flour salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil parsley, to garnish lemon wedges, to serve



1 Place the fish in a sieve and rinse under cold running water, shaking the sieve. Drain well. Place the flour in a plastic bag and season with salt and pepper. Add the fish and shake the bag to coat. Tip into a colander and shake out the excess flour. Heat a cast-iron frying pan 23 cm/9 in in diameter. Pour half the oil into the pan. Add the fish close together and press them flat with a fish slice. Cook over a medium-high heat until browned and crisp underneath. The fish should stick together in a round 'pancake'. Remove and invert onto a plate. Add the remaining oil to the pan and slide the fish back to brown the other side. Garnish with parsley and serve hot with lemon wedges.
