Stir in the mussels, salt, ground pepper, basil and parsley. Melt butter over medium heat... (Too high and the butter will burn)

Best mussel fritters are made from raw mussels its not to hard to shell them and quite fast once you get the knack, another trick if buying mussels is to have a look through for a broken one have a look to check if its fat the side walls should be thick and creamy looking (white or pink you can tell) if it looks thin and see thru then pass and have something else for dinner. Steamed open they just don't taste as good and have a rubbery texture. I chop mine into about 3 -4 pieces to about a dozen mussels add a beaten egg a finely chopped onion and tomato lots of pepper and a good handful of chopped fresh corriander(basil is nice too) then stir in 2 or 3 tablespoons of flour and a 1/4tsp of baking powder fry in nice big fritters for dinner with a salad or really nice in small balls as finger food at a party. nice with sweet thai chilli sauce.
