Ingredients:
3 eggs,
½ cup self-raising flour,
½ tsp salt,
Black pepper, freshly ground,
1/3 cup milk,
2 dozen fresh mussels, (steam open)
1 onion, finely diced,
½ cup fresh coriander or parsley, chopped,
1 small, mild red chilli, finely chopped, (optional)
1 lemon, zest & juice,
1 small knob of fresh ginger, grated,
A small drizzle of olive oil or butter, for frying,
METHOD:
To make the batter, beat eggs, self-raising flour, salt, a good grind of fresh black pepper and milk to form a smooth batter. Chill to rest. Steam the fresh mussels until shells open and they're just cooked. Remove mussel meat from shells and chop into small dices. 
Add the mussels to a mixing bowl. Add onion, coriander (or parsley), chilli, lemon zest and grated ginger and mix together. Add the batter and the lemon juice and stir to combine.
Heat a non-stick pan and fry large spoonful's (⅓ cup) of mix in a little olive oil or butter so they cook evenly on both sides (reserve them in a clean tea towel in a warm oven as you go).
To serve, squeeze with lemon, sprinkle with sea salt flakes and serve with lettuce and mustard mayo, or a sweet chilli sauce.
