200 grams Mussels

without the shell
2 Eggs
2 tbsp Flour
1 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt

to taste
Oil

neutral. For Frying

Instructions

1 Begin by bringing a few inches of oil up to boiling. While this is happening,
you can proceed to step 2.
2 In a bowl, whisk together the egg and the flour, along with the garlic powder
and a pinch of salt. The batter will be quite runny, but that’s fine as you
don’t want such an overpowering batter with fried mussels as you won’t be able
to taste the mollusc.
3 Put all the mussels into the batter and mix it up with a spoon. Using tongs,
drop the mussels into the oil 5-6 at a time and fry for about 10 seconds. It is
very easy to overcook the batter, so always watch it. Remove the mussels with a
slotted spoon or a spider strainer and put on a paper towel lined plate.
Sprinkle with salt, and repeat until all the fried mussels are done.
