Conch can be replaced with any seafood. We tried last week 'Calamari Fritters," following the same recipe but replacing conch with chopped calamari... it turned out awesome! We cannot wait to try it with shrimp or crab meat

co_ch is good stuff, that's for sure.

I tried these down in Cancun at Margaritaville. Not very good IMO. I had fried conch in Bimini which was excellent though!

Gots to get Conch when youz in da 'keys.....

An excellent aphrodisiac....

Mmmmm...reminds me of Key West. Serve them up with a Key Lime soda, sit on the pier and watch the world go by. There's a little stand down by the aquarium that makes good ones...they swear they don't get the conchs from the aquarium, however.

I think conchs are protected in the Keys.............we have to buy them from the Bahamas where there are less pesky liberal environmentalists!

I've had them a couple of times on the cruises and islands. Very delicious.

Fried, YUCK.

I had loads of conch in the Keys when were on our honeymoon. We stayed on Marathon and had a little restaurant across the street from us called The Cracked Conch Cafe. They made these amazing sandwiches with a big slab of conch that is pounded out, battered, fried and served on a fresh hardroll with lettuce, tomato and tarter sauce. I ate quite a few of those while we were there.

Got my first conch fritters at Mallory Square while watching the sunset. Yeah, touristy but we had fun.

I love conch.

#14........while I agree with you in that MOST seafood is better raw, broiled, grilled, etc........conch fritters are VERY VERY good.

Andy, would you take crab-cakes over cooch fritters?

^ Nope.....conch fritters are better, but harder to find.

I like crab cakes, but would rather just eat crabs.

I like cooch fritters...
