Known as a delicacy in various parts of the world, Bahamian conch fritters are small bites of local queen conch meat fried in a savory batter with a combination of peppery seasonings (hot goat pepper, hot sauce, and sea salt) and commonly used vegetables in the Bahamian diet, which grow abundantly among our islands like onion, sweet green pepper, and tomato. For those who have never tried conch before, you might be curious to know what conch tastes like? This high-protein shellfish can be sweet and mild in flavour, if prepared right, but you might find it similar in taste and texture to calamari with no fishy-taste. Conch fritters is a great introductory way to eat conch- after all, who can resist a deep-fried fritter?
