Conch Fritters Recipe With Seafood Appetizers Side Dishes

1 ½ cups (2 medium) conch 

1 large hot pepper 

1 medium onion 

3 cups flour 

3 tsp baking powder 

½ medium green sweet pepper

salt to taste 

1 cup water 

1 tbsp tomato paste 

1 egg 

1 tsp hot sauce 

Calypso Sauce

½ cup ketchup

2 tsp mayonnaise 

1 tsp hot sauce 

1 tsp worcestershire sauce 

Here's how to make it:

Stir calypso sauce ingredients in bowl until smooth. Chill until fritters are ready. Pass onion, sweet pepper, and conch through a meat grinder or food processor. In large bowl, combine all ingredients to form a batter. The batter should be thick enough to drop from a spoon. If it is too runny add a little more flour to stiffen it. If it is too stiff add a little more water to soften it 

Make sure cooking oil is hot (about 350 degrees if using deep fat fryer), using a spoon (teaspoon or tablespoon depending on desired size). Drop batter into hot oil – fritters should float to the surface and bob around like apples in a barrel of water. Use a long fork to turn fritter so that they are golden brown on all sides. Remove from oil and place in a container lined with absorbent paper to soak up any excess oil.

Use toothpicks for handling of the hot fritter and dunk your fritter into the sauce for cooling, complimentary flavours. Enjoy!
