best of web seal Mussel Fritters

Mussels tossed into a batter with fresh herbs, garlic, and chiles make for crispy, delicious fritters. You can serve these treats by themselves, but they're also terrific in a sandwich with mesclun and homemade tomato sauce.

FROM THE RECIPE:
Family friend and master fisherman, Ray Bax told me the secret to a fabulous mussel fritter is to use raw mussels in the mix.  Well the secret is out Ray.  I don't know if any of you have ever tried to shuck a raw mussel but with an arm like mine it's impossible.  Instead, I steam the mussels for about a minute, until the shells only just open.  The virtually raw mussel meat does make for a moist fritter and adding larger chunks of cooked meat to the fritter batter gives another element of texture and visual awesomeness.
