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 (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.

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 *.

BAHAMIAN CONCH FRITTERS
Probably the most popular recipe in the Bahamian/Caribbean cuisine. Fresh Conch isn't always easy to find, and it has to be fresh. Be careful to keep it refrigerated and use as soon as possible.
