2 tablespoons olive oil
small bunch flat-leafed parsley, chopped

Description
Another prefect little nibble to serve with drinks or before dinner on a festive occasion. Top the crisp fritters with avocado mash and a little salmon caviar for a luxurious treat.
Method
Chop the oysters and prawns into small chunks and place in a bowl. Peel the onion and chop very finely. Place the onion in a small plastic container with the olive oil and microwave for two to three minutes until the onion is softened. Cool and add to the chopped seafood. Add the parsley to the bowl with the flour, eggs and salt and pepper. Mix well to combine.
Heat about four tablespoons of olive oil in a heavy-based frying pan and when smoky hot, cook scant tablespoons of the mixture, about four fritters at a time. Remove fritters to kitchen paper and keep covered while cooking the remaining batter.
To serve, mash the avocado with lime juice, season well and top each fritter with mash and a little salmon caviar. Sprinkle with a little extra salt and pepper. Serve slightly warm.
Makes 18-20.
