Conch fritters are a popular dish made from the meat of the conch, a type of shellfish found in warm coastal waters. The conch meat is finely chopped and mixed with a batter made of flour, cornmeal, and various seasonings. This mixture is then shaped into small balls or patties and deep-fried until golden brown. These fritters are often served as an appetizer or snack, commonly accompanied by a dipping sauce, such as cocktail sauce or tartar sauce. They are especially popular in Caribbean cuisine, particularly in places like the Bahamas and Florida Keys, where conch is a local delicacy.
