Preparation
- Tartar sauce can also be prepared beforehand.
- Just combine all the ingredients and mix well.
- Cover and refrigerate.
- Use your food grinder to grind together the conch pieces, red and green peppers, onions and hot peppers.
- Once done, add in your lime juice, minced garlic, black pepper, salt, dried basil, and red pepper flakes; make sure to mix it thoroughly.
- Then add your egg and mix again.
- Lastly, add your flour one tablespoon at a time and mix until combined.
- You can either plastic wrap it and let sit in the fridge for an hour or overnight.
- Once you're ready to fry, fill the deep-frying pan with about 1 ½ to 2 inches of a high heat oil of your choice.
- Turn stove on to a medium-low heat.
- Use two spoons to form 1-inch balls and drop them into the hot oil one at a time.
- Each fritter should fry about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and the inside is cooked.
- Repeat until you have used all the conch mixture.
- Serve with your tartar sauce and lime wedges.
Pro Tips
- Make the conch mix the day before and store in the refrigerator to allow time for flavours to meld together.
