Conch Fritters are tremendously popular in the Bahamas where conch is the national food. Conch mollusk meat that is extracted from its classic shell is at the heart of this appetizer. It begins with rich seafood and fresh produce, all properly diced and spiced. Those form the foundation of the batter that is then deep-fried and served with simple dipping sauces.
