Conch Fritters
These are a staple across much of the Independent Isles and feature battered, deep-fried conch meat.
The meat is minced and cooked to tenderise it, before being put into a spiced batter of yuca flour, chopped onions, peppers and herbs. This batter is rolled into balls about the size of an egg and deep-fried until the outside is golden brown. Once retrieved from the oil, they are patted dry and dusted with more spices.
These fritters have a savoury, yet slightly sweet, taste, which can be enhanced by the spices. The texture is crisp on the outside with a slightly a chewy inner similar to squid. They're often served with a dipping sauce that can range from mild to very spicy.
