Ingredients
455g (1lb) sprats, fresh or defrosted

4 rashers back bacon, chopped
4 x 15ml spoon (4 tablespoons) fresh brown breadcrumbs

Method
Melt the butter in a large frying pan and fry the bacon until crispy.
Meanwhile, remove heads from sprats, if preferred, and clean large sprats.
Add to the pan and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sprats are pale golden brown.
Sprinkle over breadcrumbs and parsley and cook for a further 2-3 minutes, until breadcrumbs are crispy.
Serve with a crisp green salad and brown bread and butter.
