50 g/2 oz/1 cup fresh breadcrumbs

Remove the meat from the shell, discarding the soft gills from the side of the central body section. Clean the shell well and mix the meat with the other ingredients, seasoning to taste. Return the mixture to the shell and bake in a preheated oven at 190°C/ 375°F/gas mark 5 for about 15 minutes.
