Crispy Conch Fritters

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Conch Fritters.

1. Step 1

   Start by heating oil in a deep fryer or a large saucepan until it reaches a sizzling 375°F (190°C).

2. Step 2

   While the oil warms up, grab a large bowl and whisk together flour, milk, and an egg until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

3. Step 3

   To add a little kick, season it with cayenne pepper, seasoned salt, and a sprinkle of regular salt and pepper to your liking.

   Next, gently fold in the chopped conch meat along with diced celery, onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic, ensuring everything is well combined and evenly distributed.

5. Step 5

   Once your batter is ready, use a rounded tablespoon to drop spoonfuls of the mixture into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding.

   Fry the fritters until they turn a beautiful golden brown on all sides, which should take about five minutes.
