Golden brown conch fritters are tender and packed with ocean-fresh flavor, and taste especially great when served with a delectably tangy dipping sauce.<\/p>\n<h2>What are conch fritters?<\/h2>\n<p>Conch fritters are fried treats enjoyed in the region around the Caribbean and Florida Keys. They&#8217;re made by folding finely chopped conch meat into a seasoned batter of flour, eggs, and aromatic vegetables like bell peppers and onions for a kick. Once deep-fried, they have a perfectly crunchy coating. A twist I love is adding a splash of citrus juice or a bit of thyme to brighten the flavor.<\/p>\n<p>Conch is a large sea snail harvested in warm, tropical waters. (If you&#8217;ve ever picked up a large white shell and held it to your ear to &#8220;hear&#8221; the ocean, that&#8217;s likely a conch shell.) The meat is a bit tough and chewy, but it works well chopped up in soups, stews and fritters, among other things.<\/p>\n<p>It may be tricky to source fresh conch outside of Florida, but you can use more common shellfish like clams, shrimp or calamari in fritters. Make sure it&#8217;s chopped finely, whatever you use.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Conch Fritters<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Flour: <\/strong>All-purpose flour binds the ingredients together before frying.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Egg:<\/strong> Eggs ensure a golden brown finish with well-adhered ingredients.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Seasonings:<\/strong> A classic salt and pepper combo goes a long way in this classic Caribbean dish.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Conch:<\/strong> This crowd-friendly recipe works with fresh or frozen conch. Make sure your shellfish is completely thawed and finely chopped. Unless you live in South Florida where it&#8217;s readily available, you can order frozen conch online.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vegetables: <\/strong>Sweet red peppers, green bell peppers and celery combine for a wonderfully savory bite.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Garlic: <\/strong>Give your fritters a warming, hearty aroma with fresh garlic. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-mince-garlic\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-mince-garlic\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mince the cloves<\/a> so they&#8217;re fully incorporated.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Milk:<\/strong> Whole milk functions as the liquid base of the batter.

They&#8217;ll last up to four days in the refrigerator.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you freeze conch fritters?<\/h3>\n<p>To freeze conch fritters, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and move them to the freezer until they&#8217;re solid. Then move them to an airtight container or zip-top bag, where you can store them for up to three months. You don&#8217;t need to thaw them before reheating them, but if you want to thaw them, you should do so in the refrigerator.<\/p>\n<h3>How do you reheat conch fritters?<\/h3>\n<p>Reheat conch fritters in a toaster oven, air fryer, or oven at 375\u00b0 for best results.<\/p>\n<h2>Conch Fritter Tips<\/h2>\n<h3>Can you make conch fritters in an air fryer?<\/h3>\n<p>Conch fritters are best deep-fried. Batter fritters like this won&#8217;t cook properly in an air fryer. However, you can reheat already-cooked conch fritters in an air fryer, and they&#8217;ll stay nice and crispy.<\/p>\n<h3>What else can you serve with conch fritters?<\/h3>\n<p>Conch fritters are a Caribbean specialty, so keep the pairings tropical when building your menu.
