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.
