Instructions

Heat the oil in a large, heavy bottomed pot to 350°F.

Place the flour, cayenne pepper, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl.  Whisk together the egg and milk and add it to the batter.

Place the chopped conch in a food processor and pulse until ground into pea-sized pieces.  Add the ground conch, diced onions, celery, garlic, chopped parsley, green peppers, jalapeno and mix.  Season with salt and pepper and mix well.  Using a ¼ cup scoop, fry the fritter in the hot oil until they are deep golden brown, tuning once during frying.

Drain the fritters on paper towels, season with a little salt.
