How to Make An Outstanding Conch Fritters

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