This recipe is perfect for entertaining friends on a hot summer’s day as it’s quick to make and tastes even better alongside a cold beer. Briny mussels are fried in a light beer-infused batter and skewered, ready to be dipped into a rich, garlicy mayonnaise that is so easily made from scratch. If you can’t get hold of fresh mussels (or don’t want the hassle of cleaning and deshelling them) then pre-cooked mussels will work just as well and cooking times don’t have to be adjusted.
