Nana Hannah's Whitebait Omelette To Die For
Don't fiddle with patties, make one omelette and divide, though you will want to eat it all yourself. This way gives a much moister result. Whitebait is so subtle it needs no yuppy extra ingredients or flavourings. You can use oil instead of butter, but butter definitely gives a better flavour and not too much is used so no need for the guilts! Shut your eyes during the first mouthful to savour the unique flavour.

Very yummy recipe. I found there was too much lemon pepper for my taste,so will cut back next time, but it was oh so easy to make compared to fritters.
