I am gonna have to recommend a good ol conch chowder, or my favorite, conch fritters. Both are easy to make, and very satisfying.
lemme see if I can fond the recipes.

Agree with Tattrat - both chowder & fritters are my favorite conch recipes.
Unfortunately, I can't give you my favorite recipes for these because they're in older cookbooks of mine that don't have recipes online that I can post a link to, so because of the trademark stipulations here, can't post them. But web searches should send you to somewhat similar recipes. |

Yum, conch fritters. My mom used to have a house in the Florida Keys and we always went to this place on the canal for dinner, with conch fritters and mustard sauce as the appetizer. It was originally a fishing company; they added a sales counter to the dock, then a deck, then covered the deck, so everything was a fresh as could be. Can't wait to see your recipe, Tatt.

well, off top of my head I can give you the basics:
AP Flour egg a little bit of baking powder milk(whole) salt+pepper make all that into a thick sticky batter. I used to use finely diced bell pepper, jalapeņo, cilantro, red onion, cayenne, a little cumin, lemon zest, and lime juice., and of course, lots of chopped, WELL DRAINED conch. use a small scooper to drop into fryer. As far as dips, the sky is the limit, but I just like straight out of the bottle sweet Thai chili sauce.

use a regular ol pan or a dutch oven.
I like peanut oil, but a blended canola will do just fine.

Dashus - I ALWAYS shallow-pan-fried my fritters, & they turn out EXCELLENT. In fact, I made them that way for a catered party & they were crisp, greaseless, & had folks clamoring for more. This business of having to deep fry everything is nonsense.
Just put about a 1/4 to a 1/2 inch of vegetable or peanut oil in a deep skillet & heat it until a splash of water skips. Then fry your fritters away for about a minute or 2 & flip for a minute longer. Always add a few extra for you to taste test - but it shouldn't take more than 2 for you to figure out when to remove them for a brief draining before serving. |
