Method
Preparation
Prepare the Fritter Batter
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped conch meat, all-purpose flour, cornmeal, green onions, bell pepper, beaten eggs, milk, minced garlic, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well combined and the batter is thick.
Heat the Oil
In a deep pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Fry the Fritters
Using a spoon or scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of the batter into the hot oil. Fry in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Make the Lemon Aioli
In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, the juice of 1 lemon, 1 tsp minced garlic, and salt to taste. Adjust the flavors as necessary.
Serve
Serve the hot conch fritters with the lemon aioli on the side for dipping.
