How to Make Homemade Fried Mussels 11steps
1

First, wash the mussels thoroughly. This step is important because clean mussels mean tasty mussels!

2

Mix 2 cups of water and 1 teaspoon of baking soda in a bowl. This mixture will make our mussels even better.

3

Place the flour in a bowl; we will coat the mussels with this flour shortly.

4

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pot. When the oil is well-heated, our mussels will become crispy, so be patient.

Thread the mussels onto wooden skewers. This step is great for both cooking and serving!

6

Dip the mussels into the baking soda water and then coat them with flour. At this stage, you'll feel things starting to get delicious.

Place the mussels in the hot oil and fry them. Be careful not to let steam or oil splatter!

8

Place the fried mussels on paper towels to absorb excess oil. This way, they will be lighter.

9

For the tarator sauce, peel the garlic and blend it with the other ingredients in a food processor.

10

Transfer the prepared sauce to a bowl. This sauce will accompany the mussels perfectly.

11

Place the mussels on a serving plate and serve hot with the tarator sauce. Enjoy your meal!

Homemade Fried Mussels Cooking Tips

After coating the mussels in flour, immediately place them in hot oil; this way, the flour adheres better and you get a crispy coating. Also, if you prepare the tarator sauce a day in advance and let it sit in the fridge, the flavor will develop even more.

Tarator sos için biraz daha limon ekledim, daha ferah bir tat geldi.
