Open the mussels by pouring hot water over them in a bowl, or steaming them slightly in an open pan with a little water. Remove from the shells and clean, then chop finely or whiz in a food processor, leaving the mixture a little chunky.
With a fork, whisk together the egg, flour, baking soda, salt and pepper to taste and the herbs. Add the chopped mussels and chill the mixture for 1 hour if you have the time.
Heat the oil gently in a heavy-based frying pan and fry large tablespoons of the mixture until golden brown on both sides.
Drain on paper towels and serve with lemon wedges.
Mine came out awesome. I did add a teaspoon of medium curry powder. Yummy

These were so simple to make and absolutely delicious! I didn’t have fresh mussels on hand so I bought the chilli marinated mussels from woollies. I also added corn and an extra egg.

Havn't made these since being able to get them deepish off the rocks in Wellington,and that's a long time ago. I open them freehand. And I use quarter teaspoon of Edmonds baking powder not soda. Will be doing it more often. Thanks
