CONCH FRITTERS: BAHAMIAN STYLE
A friend of mine, Debbie, is from the Bahamas and she gave me this recipe. This is a traditional Bahamian recipe that is made with conch, the wonderful shellfish that is delicous but not so easy to find outside of the Bahamas. We, here in South Florida, are very close to Key West; the Conch Republic. These fritters are great as appetizers, finger foods or very tasty hors d'oeuvres to accompany your favorite rum punch or tropical drink! Conch can be replaced with any seafood. Make this batter with calamari, shrimp, imitation crab meat and lobster & see how awesome it turns out. Read about CONCH on the web, it's interesting. BEWARE - these are HOT.

CARIBBEAN CONCH FRITTERS
For anyone who has spent a vacation down south in the Caribbean likely has tried Conch Fritters. These are a soft and delicious seafood served simular to a veggie tray with a dipping sauce. The dipping sauce is to preferance, I have included my choice of sauce. The taste is matched by the difficulty finding conch at your supermarket. I found a few Asian supermarkets that carry conch meat always.
