How to Make An Outstanding Conch Fritters
- Finely chop the conch. Be sure to remove any tough bits or cartilage.
- In a large bowl, combine the chopped conch, green bell pepper, onion, and jalapeno.
- Add the eggs, flour, milk, and seasonings (salt, pepper, garlic powder, cayenne pepper). Mix thoroughly until well combined.
- Gently fold in the chopped cilantro.
- Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, drop spoonfuls of the conch mixture into the hot oil.
- Fry the fritters for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Remove the fritters from the oil and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce (e.g., tartar sauce, cocktail sauce). Enjoy!
