Fritters are one of the best ways to enjoy mussels and these are tasty and simple to put together. If you don't want to use smoked mussels, just very lightly cook the fresh mussels. These are great as smaller fritters for a snack or canape. Smoked snapper can be substituted for the mussels too. Serve hot with caper mayonnaise.

To cook fresh unsmoked mussels, heat a large saucepan with a lid to very hot. Add mussels and white wine, cover and shake the pan over the heat while holding the lid on. Cook until the first mussels start to open then transfer them as they open into a large high-sided tray and allow to cool. Remove from the shells when cool enough to handle and dice. Follow the method above.
