Mate of mine uses corn-flakes in his, VERY tasty. Tongue I'll see if I can get the complete recipe off him.

I run them through the mincer with bread and onions, then thicken the lot with a bit of corn flour mixed with water and a coupla eggs. A paua fritter MUST have malt vinegar drizzled on it.Big%20smile

I've just purchased a mincer, I have been abusing the little domestic food processor (hear the mouli wine!). It takes a good 15 mins to get rid of the 'bits of rubber band' texture as my partner calls it. I'm looking forward to the mighty mince master.

I whizz them with onion and a little milk to loosen it a bit, add some flour, eggs and baking powder. I tend to end up with a paua pikelet....

What about proportions? 1 egg, 4tbsp water and 2 tbsp cornflour to every two big paua? I'm guessing here.

Kezza, there is no PM in my box.

I'd be happy to send you and/or Boulder some big ole wellies snails (shucked & frozen) via courier some time. I tend to only eat a couple unless we are entertaining so I usually only take one or two.

Perhaps there might be an option for me to accompany you out on a snapper fish one day in the AKLD area? I've never caught a legal snap.Unhappy And I will be around AK and the Bay of Islands first two weeks of feb...

A few pics to wet the old appetite. Keep the recipes coming, I love malt vinegar!

awesome mate and i'm sure a snapper fish will not be hard to organise.... ...especially in FEB...like sparrows!

I see you have a blue cod or two...try this:

50/50 paua & blue cod fritter.....mince meat together and make in to a fritter as per long johns recipe......Makes the paua go further, also in my opinion gives the whole shooting match a better flavour and texture.....but doesn't change anything too dramatically....hard to explain but it's a doozy that even previous non paua eaters have enjoyed.

What's the cheapest type of meat? Dear balls. They're under a buck.

Nice Kezza, that sounds delish. I will try that this weekend.

I've made them with sweet chilli sauce and coriander, it was nice but I think that overpowered the paua a little.

Paua is black , makes me a little home sick for the plentiful Paua infested south. Mouth watering stuff that recipe Kez.

Not a fritter ~ but have you tried this ?
1)  Clean in the normal manner
2)  "Bang" in the normal manner
3)   Toss into seasoned flour
4)  Garlic Butter on hotplate
5) About 1.5 ~ 2 minutes a side to sear the outside.(about the time it takes to drain a Captain Morgan & Coke)
6)  Remove from hotplate and slice across the Paua into about 5mm slices
7)  Refresh the hotplate with a bit (lot) more garlic butter and chck the sliced back on. Sprinkle the lot with a generous amount of Worchestershire sauce % toss for about a minute.
