Time 25m

Yield 24 fritters

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
1 medium green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
½ small red onion, peeled and chopped
½ fresh cilantro, stems removed
1 ½ cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon curry powder
¾ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon cayenne powder
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 cup light beer
1 lemon, sliced into wedges, for garnish

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!

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.
