conch fritters
Fried seafood appetizer
Conch fritters are a deep-fried appetizer popular in Caribbean and Florida Keys cuisine, made from chopped conch meat mixed into a seasoned batter with peppers, onions, and spices.
The batter-coated pieces are dropped into hot oil and fried until golden and crispy on the outside while remaining tender inside.
They're typically served with a dipping sauce like Key lime aioli or cocktail sauce.
We ordered conch fritters and cold beer at the beach bar.
