How to make Tigers:

- Remove them from the casserole, remove the meat and reserve the shells and the cooking broth.
- Apart, in a pan we put oil and put the onion to poach much chopped. When it is ready we add the flour and milk little by little to make a béchamel. Also add a little of the mussel broth.
- When the sauce is ready, add the well-chopped mussel meat. Stir everything and check the seasoning, correct if necessary. This filling should have a slightly thick consistency.
- Fill the shells with the mussel mixture and coat them in flour, beaten egg and breadcrumbs, in this order.
- Finally, the tiger mussels are fried in plenty of very hot oil, controlling the temperature so that they do not burn prematurely.
- Enjoy the tigers and serve them as an appetizer at your next family gathering. And if you like Spanish cuisine, you may also like the classic potato omelet.
