Re: Sprats

I love sprats pixie, you can also get another little fish called whiting. Just toss them in flour and fry, like Uncle Joe says. Good for you too.

Re: Sprats

Hope it's ok to jump in here - yes, we use the cup and 1 cup = 16 tablespoons. Does that help?

I've never had sprats but I'm not sure what I think of eating them whole. I guess they're too small to filet?

Re: Sprats

Me to hope it is ok to jump in here. Just got some recipes from Canada involving cups and was told it equals 2,5 dl.

Re: Sprats

I checked here: http://www.onlineconversion.com/cooking_volume.htm and the metric cup = 2.5 but the Canadian was converted as 2.273.
