1822 Nonnats

The true nature of this species of fish has not been defined with any degree of exactitude; some people consider it to be the fry of the Gouby, others that it is a fully grown fish. Cooks who are not always well versed in natural history, are quite content to prepare a superb deep fried dish from this species without being too concerned as to its origin. Nonnats are best prepared in the same way as Whitebait which they resemble closely.
