This is the recipe we first used for mussel fritters

Mussel fritters

300g cooked mussel meat, not too finely chopped

1 onion, finely chopped

a large handful of dill, chopped

2 eggs

? cup milk

1 teaspoon oil

? teaspoon salt

125g flour

Sift the flour into a bowl and make a well in the centre. Crack in one egg. Separate the other egg and reserve the white in a bowl. Add the yolk to the flour, along with the salt and whisk in the oil and milk, gradually combining all the ingredients.

Set the batter aside until required.

Chop the mussels and place in a bowl (1) with the onion and a generous quantity of chopped dill.When ready to cook, whip the eggwhite until stiff and fold into the batter. Then add the batter to the mussel mixture.

Heat some oil in a frypan or use a flat griddle. Turn the heat back a little and spoon out the fritter mix (2). Allow each fritter to cook to a golden brown on the underside then turn and complete the cooking (3). If you don't have a large griddle, place the cooked fritters on a dish in a hot oven until all are cooked.

we made them quite small and served as a starter on a few pub menus or as part of a seafood platter

cheers

I do make an effort to shop locally but if its a toss up between the shoddily run but reasonably well stocked co-op(forest hill road)or the independent shop just up from the Herne Tavern which although staffed by well mannered and charming people never seems to have much of anything on its shelves then I'm afraid the co-op wins everytime.
