Instructions

1.	In a pan that you can cover with a lid, put 1 tablespoon of peanut oil and heat to a medium-high heat.
2.	Add the tuatua and cover the pan immediately.
3.	Cook for 3 minutes until the tuatua open, then remove from the heat.
4.	Once the tuatua are cool enough to handle, remove from shells and chop roughly.
5.	Combine the eggs with the fish sauce.
6.	In the same pan add the remaining oil and heat on medium-high.
7.	Once the oil is very hot pour in the egg mixture.
8.	Work fast to push the sides of the omelette into the middle 2-3 times so it is crumpled and still has a layer of raw egg on top.
9.	Add tuatua to the middle of the omelette in a line.
10.	Before the egg is completely cooked, lift one side of omelette and fold over the tuatua.
11.	Flip the omelette over onto itself and eat while still warm.
12.	You could replace tuatua with any other shellfish or fish.
