Where to buy whitebait in UK?

[Jez1992]

As title says anyone know where to get them?

Tesco sell sprats but they are way too big for my Rays,And Maidenhead aquatics sells TMC Gamma fish food but are 11£ per 250g bag which seems rip off.

Where does everyone gets there's from?

Do what i just did, put "buying whitebait in uk" into your search engine. A place called fishfanatics for starters sells 1lb bags of it for £3.85. You could probably get bigger bags if you looked around.

Yeah I have looked online although is then a £10 delivery fee, which makes it seem silly.

Trying to find somewhere I can go to get it. Tried tackle shops but to no avail.

If you know of a local market with a good fishmongers ask them to get you some. They may not stock whitebait usually because i guess there's not many people who want it but that doesn't mean they can't get it if you asked for it specifically. I used to keep pirahnas many many years ago in my first stint in the hobby and i used to feed them whitebait. I must say though i probably got through more than the fish, you can't beat whitebait shallow fried and splashed with lemon juice, hmmmmm.
