👨‍🍳 조리법

1. 1

   In a large bowl, combine the minced conch meat, chopped sweet pepper, onion, celery, garlic, herbs, and optional habanero pepper.

   💡 전문가 팁: Ensure all vegetables are finely chopped for even distribution.
2. 2

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.

   💡 전문가 팁: Sifting the dry ingredients can help prevent lumps.
3. 3

   Gradually add the dry ingredients to the conch mixture, stirring until just combined. Slowly add water until a thick batter forms, similar to cake batter consistency.

   💡 전문가 팁: Do not overmix; overmixing can result in tough fritters.
4. 4

   Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat until shimmering (around 350-375°F or 175-190°C).

   💡 전문가 팁: Use a thermometer to ensure the oil is at the correct temperature for optimal frying.
5. 5

   Carefully drop rounded tablespoons of the batter into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.

6. 6

   Fry for 3-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Turn only when the edges are golden brown.

7. 7

   Remove fritters with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining batter.

   💡 전문가 팁: Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as cocktail sauce or a spicy aioli.
