Steps:
- Make the Dipping Sauce: Puree the salsa in a blender. Transfer to a medium bowl and add the mayonnaise, garlic powder, basil, salt, cayenne, and pepper and whisk well to combine. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Stir well before serving.
- Make the Fritters: Pour oil into a small frying pan or deep skillet, so that it comes at least one inch up the sides of the pan. Heat the oil to 350 degrees F.
- Meanwhile, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and egg in a large bowl and stir well (the combination will look shaggy). Add the buttermilk to create a thick paste (the mixture should be the consistency of muffin batter). Stir in the conch, jalapeño, onion, red pepper, carrots, garlic, and seasoning, making sure that the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Using spoons or a cookie scoop, drop 1-inch balls of batter into the oil. Fry, turning with a slotted spoon, until golden brown, about 2 minutes for smaller fritters, up to 4 minutes if you made them a little larger. If you need to, work in batches so that you don't over-crowd the pan.
- Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fritters to paper towels to drain. Serve immediately with the dipping sauce.

CONCH FRITTERS: BAHAMIAN STYLE
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.

CONCH FRITTERS WITH CARIBBEAN DIPPING SAUCE RECIPE - (3.8/5)
Provided by Brian
Number Of Ingredients 22
Steps:
- FRITTERS: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, combine the ground conch, green and red peppers, onions and garlic, making sure the conch is well distributed. Add the conch mixture to the flour mixture. Without cleaning the conch bowl, use it to whisk together the milk, egg, lime juice, and Tabasco. Add to the conch mixture, stirring until everything is well mixed. Cover and refrigerate up to an hour so the batter firms a bit. When ready to finish, heat about 1/4-inch oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Place about a heaping tablespoon conch batter for each fritter carefully into the skillet, without crowding. This may have to be done in batches. Press down very lightly on each portion of batter to flatten. The fritters will spread slightly. Cook 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side or until nicely browned and cooked through. Transfer to paper towels to drain. You may want to keep the fritters warm in a 200°F oven while you cook all the batter to keep them warm, but this is optional. To serve, place six fritters on each of four warm dishes. Place about 6 tablespoons dipping sauce in four small bowls. Serve one with each serving. CARIBBEAN DIPPING SAUCE: In a blender, puree the salsa. Place in a nonreactive bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and whisk well. Cover and refrigerate several hours. Stir before serving. Makes about 1 1/2 cups.

- 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.

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!

AN OUTSTANDING CONCH FRITTERS
Here is something I last posted in 1994 I think. These are easily the best fritters I have ever had, and I have had fritters all over south Florida and the upper and lower keys. PS: I live in Delray Beach now, just a bit below Palm Beach. ---- Finally, here is Charlie's Pompano Beach Conch Fritters recipe. I have refined this over several years, and most people that have tasted these say they are the best around. This makes about 30 fritters I suppose, enough for apps for five or six people.

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.
- (I have no connection other than I have been a good customer there since 1990 and I think the owners are great folks). Charlie Byrne * Delray Beach, FL *.
