CONCH FRITTERS: BAHAMIAN STYLE



Conch Fritters: Bahamian Style image

A friend of mine, Debbie, is from the Bahamas and she gave me this recipe. This is a traditional Bahamian recipe that is made with conch, the wonderful shellfish that is delicous but not so easy to find outside of the Bahamas. We, here in South Florida, are very close to Key West; the Conch Republic. These fritters are great as appetizers, finger foods or very tasty hors d'oeuvres to accompany your favorite rum punch or tropical drink! Conch can be replaced with any seafood. Make this batter with calamari, shrimp, imitation crab meat and lobster & see how awesome it turns out. Read about CONCH on the web, it's interesting. BEWARE - these are HOT.

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons key lime juice
½ teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons hot sauce
vegetable oil, for frying
1 lb conch meat, cleaned
1 large carrot, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 small jalapeño, seeded and chopped

  • Make the fritters: Fill a medium pot with 4 inches of vegetable oil and heat over medium heat until the temperature reaches 350°F (180°C).
  • Add the conch meat to a food processor and pulse until finely minced. Scoop the conch into a large bowl and wipe the food processor clean.
  • Add the carrot, celery, jalapeño, bell pepper, red onion, and cilantro to the food processor and pulse until finely chopped, leaving some larger pieces for added texture.
