CONCH FRITTERS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the Key lime aioli: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lime juice, salt, and hot sauce until well combined, then refrigerate until ready to serve.
• 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.
• Transfer the mixture to the bowl with the minced conch, along with the flour, curry powder, baking powder, cayenne, salt, and beer. Stir until just combined, being sure not to overmix.
• Working in batches of 8-10 at a time, use a 1-ounce scoop to portion the batter into the hot oil and fry, turning the fritters frequently with a slotted spoon or spider, until crispy and golden brown, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a rack lined with paper towels to drain and repeat with the rest of the batter, letting the oil return to temperature between batches.
• Serve the fritters warm with the lemon wedges and Key lime aioli.
• Enjoy!

• Heat oil to 325 degrees F in a deep-fryer or Dutch oven fitted with a deep-fry thermometer.

AN OUTSTANDING CONCH FRITTERS

Steps:

• 1 Tbsp thyme 1 Tbsp parsley 1 Tbsp oregano 1 Tbsp celery seed 1 Tbsp habanero sauce (e.g. Melindas) 3/4 Tbsp salt (Not More! At least initially!) 1/2 Tbsp basil 1/2 Tbsp cumin powder 1/2 tsp black pepper.
• Pound conch with a rolling pin until it has flattened out (especially the thick and hard "foot"), then dice into small pieces.
• Mix in lime juice and tomato paste with conch in small bowl.
• In separate large bowl, dice pepper, onion and garlic. Mix in spices.
• Mix in conch mixture. Mix in flour, baking powder and eggs.
• The mixture should be fairly thick, if you take spoon of it and turn it upside down it should stick there for a few seconds.
• If too thin, add more flour.
• If too thick, add a little milk.
• You could also substitute a little beer for the milk if you like.rec Get a couple of plates with napkins or paper towels handy, as well as a tablespoon, a teaspoon, a fork, and a metal device for scooping stuff out of hot oil.
• Heat a pot of about 2 inches of cooking oil on medium heat. Stir after a few minutes.
• Oil should be ready after 7 or 8 minutes, don't heat too fast or oil and fritters will burn.
• Scoop up 1 tablespoon of fritter mixture, scrape it into oil with teaspoon.
• Let cook for about 2 minutes, then roll it over with fork (they float) and let cook on other side for about 2 minutes or until lightly browned.
• Scoop out with scooper and let drain on napkin plate. Let cool a bit and then taste. Carefully adjust seasonings in remainder of batter to taste. Repeat this procedure of making one fritter until you have the spices just right. The recipe may seem like a lot of spices, but they lose their strength when mixed with all that stuff and cooked.
• Serve with lemon or lime wedges, some more habenero sauce, and plenty of cold beverages.
• And be careful with that hot oil. Excessive alcohol consumption and playing around with hot oil definitely do NOT mix.
• Enjoy! PS: If you don't want to make these fritters but you are in Florida, the best that I HAVE found in a re staurant are at the Calpyso Restaurant and Raw Bar in Pompano.
