Jose Gourmet – Fried Mussels in Marinade

Jose Gourmet's fried mussels are a nod to the escabeche tradition of Iberian preserving, where seafood is lightly fried and then marinated in vinegar, bay, and spices to develop a flavour that only improves with time. The mussels bring their natural oceanic sweetness to this preparation, balanced by the acidity and warmth of the marinade. Enjoy them at room temperature, straight from the tin, with a glass of something cold.
