WhiteBait .... Yum

Not!
Left is a whitebait fisherman. I guess the pickings are slim this whitebait season. This seemed to be a very Kiwi thing while we lived there. A fritter full of whitebait is an acquired taste.

There are grittles fired up outside stores and other places where they would be selling whitebait fritters sorta how we sell hotdogs or what not.

I could not find many pictures of whitebait or a fritter. But I did find this website by a Kiwi photographer. Since I could not download or link to images without breaking copy-right then here are links to the pages with some examples.

David has some great pictures of NZ at his website. Very cool.
