Whitebait with Bacon, Farm Style

Dip one pound very fresh, picked, washed and drained whitebait in a little cold milk, place on a sieve, dredge six tablespoons of cornmeal flour over them and shake well. Cut two ounces of raw, lean bacon into small, thin strips. Place both fish and bacon in a frying basket and fry in boiling fat for two minutes. Lift up, sprinkle a half teaspoon salt and a saltspoon cayenne pepper over, shake well in the seasoning, dress on a hot dish with a folded napkin, decorate with six quarters lemon and a little parsley greens and serve.
