Directions

Step 1
If using fresh conch, tenderize it by pounding it lightly, then finely dice. In a large bowl, combine diced conch, bell pepper, red onion, celery, and minced Scotch bonnet.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, egg, milk, lime juice, salt, and black pepper until a smooth batter forms.
Step 3
Add the conch and vegetable mixture to the batter and stir until just combined.
Step 4
Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot or Dutch oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 5
Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Step 6
For the dipping sauce, simply mix ketchup and hot sauce in a small bowl. Serve fritters hot with the spicy dipping sauce.
