Mussels in Batter
Description
The appetizer is quick and easy to prepare. A great appetizer is classic battered mussels. They cook very quickly, and you need a deep fryer to make them. You can add milk or mayonnaise to the batter (to taste and as desired). Serve the appetizer at the table.

Step 2
2. Make the batter the traditional way. The thicker you make it, the thicker the “coat” on each mussel will be.

Step 3
3. Dredge the mussels in flour, then in egg (if you're not making batter). Seafood can be prepared in different ways. This time I decided to make the egg mixture separately and dredge in flour separately (so the coating won't be too thick).
