In most Fish and Chip shops these aren't even vegetarian because they will be fried in the oil that has also had meat things fried in, but not all, ya just gotta ask the proprietor.
The main ingredient is mushy peas but not the tinned kind oh no siree the good old dried Marrowfat pea kind. They have to cooked and cooled then you just roll them into a ball, dip in batter and then fry 'em. This is the batter recipe I use which is also very good for making onion rings too.
Ingredients:
1 cup flour
1 cup vegan breadcrumbs
1/3 cup white wine or apple juice
2 Tablespoons cider vinegar
Black Pepper
Enough oil to deep fry with.
Heat oil in saucepan. You can also use a deep fryer if you have one.
Mix flour, wine or juice, and vinegar. Add enough water till you get a sticky, gooey batter. Add as much pepper as you desire.

I'm afraid I don't know what marrowfat peas are, but you can bet I'm going to be googlin' because I want to make these!! I've also never fried anything before, do you think they'd hold up if baked?
:) they look fabulously tasty!
These look really good. I'd never heard of marrowfat peas, or even mushy peas except as an accident. This is kind of like a non-spicy Indian dish, strangely compelling...
If I ever deep fried anything, I'm sure I'd try these. Though, I'm not sure where I'd find marrowfat peas.
And this is why I love Vegan MoFo...I get to read about things like Pea Fritters, something I've never heard of before!
I love marrowfat peas; I used to eat them often when I lived in Ireland. These sound yummy.
I love mushy peas, but have never seen mushy pea fritters. Yumm!
