Fried Sprats
Many people think the good old sprat is too fiddly to bother with; but fried briefly in oil, a dish of sprats is a tremendously good traditional dish and well worth the trouble it takes. Fried sprats are traditional and quite delicious for tea.
Ingredients
Serves: 4
1 Kilogram Sprats (2 1/4 lb)
Plain flour
Oil for frying
Salt
2 Lemons
Method
Cut the heads off the sprats and remove the guts at the same time. Pat the fish fairly dry with kitchen paper and dust them with flour.
Heat 2 cm oil in a large frying pan, add a pinch of salt and drop in one sprat. If it starts to sizzle, immediately drop in several more and fry them on each side until they are brown.
Take them out with a fish slice and keep them hot in a dish lined with kitchen paper. Sprinkle them with salt to keep them crisp. Fry the rest in batches, draining them well on the sides of the pan before transferring them to the serving dish to keep hot. Serve with wedges of lemon and bread and butter.

How To Cook Sprats

Am I missing something? Assumed you meant sprouts but lots of people on here are also referring to 'sprats'.
Oh well, if sprouts are the same thing, they take about 10 mins to boil. just take off a couple of the outer leaves, rinse them, chop the stem off a bit closer to the sprout, and make a small cross in the base of the stem with a knife - just 2 slight cuts or imprints. This helps the sprout to cook better inside.
Sprouts are also yummy if you mix them after cooking with fried finely chopped shallots and bacon - really tasty!
PS. Ah - have just noticed that sprats seem to be a type of fish... ignore me!!!

Cover them with foil and Bake them in the oven until tender at about 180c - 190c they should not take long. Sprats are small fish!
