What delicate wee morsels these are. At last, mussel fritters that aren't like small, windowless buildings. Super easy, super taste, ingredients are spot on. I didn't have any basil, not overly fond of it anyway, so just added a good handful of flat leaf parsley. Mussels are cheap here and out of 2 dozen I got 8 fritters, a pot of mussel chowder and 1/2 litre of stock. Thankyou Kiwi Kathy for a great recipe, I next plan to make these for a party, I'll make them small and serve with a sour cream and sweet chilli dipping sauce. From one kiwi to another.

These are such a surprise and a fabulous brunch item! Not at all what I thought! Even picky DH kept talking about them 24 hours later, "you know, those mussel patties are really cool!" This from a man who normally won't eat a mussel! He said they looked delicious and couldn't resist! Made as directed, except I made 4 versus 6. Would definitely make 6 next time. Great flavors, and all I served them with were slices of lemon. Thanks, Kiwi Kathy! Made for Aussie New Zealand Recipe Swap.
