Whitebait with Bacon

Have in a small basin one pound very fresh, well cleaned and wiped whitebait; pour in a little cold milk, repeatedly turn in the milk, then place on a sieve; sprinkle six tablespoons cornmeal over, shake well, place in a frying basket and fry in boiling fat for two minutes. Lift up, thoroughly drain on a cloth, sprinkle over a half teaspoon salt and saltspoon cayenne pepper, turn them over and place on a hot dish with a folded napkin. Arrange six slices freshly broiled bacon over, decorate with six quarters lemon and a little parsley and serve.
