Don't tell anybody, but I don't know what all the fuss is about regrading whitebait.

When we first visited New Zealand, Lonely Planet was our bible. From it we learned about West Coast's famous whitebait and put this on our must try list. However it said nothing about the season. We must looked very disappointed when we were told whitebait was out of season in February; so much so that the restaurant owner suggested us to return the next day to see whether he manage to find some for us. And yes he did find enough to serve us the classic whitebait patties! 11 years later when we revisited South Island, we stayed in a lovely B&B in Wanaka and had fabulous dinner with our hosts. While chatting away we came to this whitebait topic. We told them the above story. It happened that our host was a serious whitebaiter who frequented Turnbull River. The next evening we got whitebait patties as special treat and the rest was history.<br />While visiting Southland in November we saw many people whitebaiting at river mouthes with various kind of method but nothing like these long stands. Very special. offstonenoreply@blogger.com
