CONCH FRITTERS (THE BAHAMAS)
This recipe Is from week 19 of my food blog, "Travel by Stove." I am attempting to cook one meal from every nation on Earth, and The Bahamas are my 19th stop. Poster's Note: I never use any recipes for Travel by Stove (this one included) that I am not reasonably certain come from traditional or authentic sources. I never add or remove ingredients from them before I post them to my blog or to Food.com, even if I think the recipe might benefit from changes. In this way I can be sure I'm giving my readers a true representation of cuisine from the region. Conch fritters are served in restaurants all over the islands, so many people think of them as a big part of the Bahamian tourist experience. If you can't find conch in your local market (and you probably can't), you can order a canned version online.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the dipping sauce ingredients.
- Finely mince or grind the conch meat.
- Sift the flour over the bowl containing the ground conch meat. Stir until the flour coats all of the meat.
- Gently fold in the chopped vegetables and the herbs, then add some water. You want just enough to bind it all together but not so much that the batter becomes runny.
- Heat up about two inches of oil in a stockpot. It's ready when it bubbles up around the non-stirring end of a wooden spoon.
- Scoop up some of the fritter batter and flatten it out into the spoon. The fritters need be a little thin because you don't want them to end up burned on the outside and raw in the middle. These aren't sushi fritters.
- Drop them into the oil. Flip them once during cooking so they will cook evenly.
- When they are a nice golden color on both sides take them out and drain them on a paper towel. Serve hot 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.

- Authentic Conch Fritters. The first thing you should know about cooking conch is that you usually don’t cook the shells. You can boil the meat in the shells to prepare them, but the shell itself isn’t edible.
- Bahamian Conch Salad. Plenty of people avoid raw seafood, and for understandable reasons. However, if you enjoy it, you must try this chilled conch salad.
- Garlic Conch. I have one universal truth when cooking: if you cover it in enough garlic sauce, anything tastes good. So, if you’re unsure about conch meat, try this recipe.
- Jamaican Conch Soup. This vegetable-packed soup is a flawless blend of Cajun, Creole, and Caribbean fare. It’s a lot like vegetable soup with spices and seafood.
- Cracked Conch Bahamas Style. Do you enjoy fried calamari? If so, you’ll love cracked conch. The two dishes are incredibly similar. Fortunately, cracked conch is an even heartier dish than calamari!
- Belgian Beer Conch Chowder. Step aside, clam chowder! You’ve got nothing on this creamy, Belgian beer-based conch chowder. It’s thick, luscious, and make-you-weak-in-the-knees yummy.
- Conch Creole. People often call conch by other names. Conk and lambi are two of the most popular. So don’t be confused if someone calls this yummy Creole conch, Creole lambi instead.
- Jamaican Steam Conch. Try this recipe if you want something that really showcases the conch meat’s flavor. You’ll steam it with shrimp, veggies, and all kinds of good things.
- Haitian Lambi. No, that’s not barbecue you’re looking at there. It’s Haitian lambi, or Haitian conch stew. It’s a filling, flavorful dish that’s hard to describe to someone who hasn’t tried it.
- East Indian Conch Curry. Conch curry is a sweet, savory, slightly spicy dish that’ll delight your taste buds. You’ll fill it with peppers, onions, and fragrant and flavorful curry powder.
