I looked up a reference to whitebait (they are about 1.5", or 40mm, long from nose to tail), and it suggests that they are the fry of herring or sprat, so I guess they use more than one fish, perhaps in different parts of the world.
If they are fry then that does'nt do much to help reduce the overfishing problem, does it. Maybe I should stop eating them on principle.....mmmm.....maybe not.

The small fish eaten fried with peanuts are called teri in Indonesian. Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia defines teri as "A very small edible sea fish classified into the genus Stolephorus". Googling teri and stolephorus led me to this site: http://makeashorterlink.com/?P333514C, which gives different names for the fish in different languages. The home page for the site, which seems to be devoted to ichthyological nomenclature in different languages is http://www.fishbase.org/search.cfm. The dish is called teri kacang, googling which will lead you to recipes for those so inclined. Bingley

My daughter and I went to a Korean buffet where tiny, somewhat salty, crunchy fish were served. It reminded me of eating friend shrimp tails. Have no idea what they were called, but they were very good in small quantity.

eating friend shrimp tails
Edit: Read: fried That's a classic typo up there, huh?

My dad has raised me in a strange way. It has been his delight to introduce me to all kinds of things I would never have tried on my own. And he started this when I was still a babe in arms--not shrimp tails then, but sardines and fried oysters. We worked up--or down--to shrimp tails. Actually, friend shrimp tails have more intense flavor by far than the shrimp itself. There's a succulence in them combined with a bit of sweetness that makes them interesting. They're at least as good--if not better flavor-wise--as those tiny fried Korean fried fish, which I still wish I knew the name of. Please excuse the preposition at the end of the sentence that preceded this one.
Beast regards,

PS: My dad, who is a big joker, said he acquired his taste for all unusual food when a child. He says that the family was so big that all he got from the chicken were the bones. Faulkner would have understood.

One might think you have some "issues" to resolve here, Dub' Dub.
You know I usually leave these typos alone; sometimes I just can't resist.

I usually find shrimp tasteless. I avoid sushi, having seen cases of nasty parasitic disease from raw fish.
But when out scalloping in Buzzards Bay the raw scallop muscle on buttered bread used to be delicious, pleasantly sweet, with just the right amount of salt from the sea water, and an enjoyable texture.

...I will stay in from recess and type one thousand times:
fried shrimp tails
fried shrimp tails
fried shrimp tails
fried shrimp tails...
...and hope that we won't have a speed test today in typing class that includes the phrase fried shrimp tails!!!!
Bemoaning regrets,

Local movie theater that had a paucity of certain letters for its marquee used to just leave a little space between letters to represent an i. Some of us took to referring to the movie as Fred Green Tomatoes.

I had cereal with orange juice on it once. I would have used soda but there wasn't any.

I taught at a school a few years back that had a high percentage of southeast Asian students--Cambodians, Vietnamese, Laotians...
Many of these children had breakfast at our school where I sometimes helped supervise the cafeteria. I was highly amused to see them pouring cartons of chocolate milk on their Fruit Loops, and then adding sweetened berries or peaches to the whole concoction. Some of these kids would eat that sugary sweet mess all year long--and still had bodies of ecotomorphs.

One of the cooks I worked with once ate a raw chicken heart on a dare. I've eaten fish eyeballs (cooked), which weren't that bad. It was from a salmon that we had cooked in wine.
While it isn't that outlandish, I am most proud of having first eaten sweetbreads in Japan while I had a raging hangover. And I kept 'em down!
