Conch fritters
Conch fritters is a popular dish made with chopped or ground conch (a type of marine mollusk), mixed with batter, seasonings, and sometimes vegetables like bell peppers and onions. The mixture is then deep-fried until crispy and golden brown. It’s a delicious and flavorful appetizer commonly found in the Bahamas and other Caribbean regions.
Ingredients
- 1 lb conch finely chopped
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 small onion finely chopped

- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 egg beaten
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 tablespoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the chopped conch, onion, bell pepper, garlic, flour, baking powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and beaten egg.
