Krillion Patties

Krill are tiny sea creatures that swim close to the surface of the sea and drift where the tides of the oceans take them. They are one of the first links in the ocean's food chain. (Krill, I was told, is a Greek word meaning to wander.) My son John brought home about 1 kg (2 lb) of them for me to experiment with -- they were beautifully fresh and had a strong smell of the sea. They make a delicious filling for bread or pastry cases.

2 cups krill
2 tablespoons butter
salt and freshly ground pepper
2 heaped tablespoons flour
2 cups milk celery
1/2 red capsicum (pepper)
1/2 onion
1 small carrot
1 bay leaf
pinch basil
drop tabasco sauce
slices of bread
parsley, chopped
lemon wedges
patty tins (2 dozen)

Wash krill in a fine mesh
