DH broke a tooth on one years ago -- there was still a bit of shell in the fritter.

You know a conch shell? Well the animal that lives in them is like a snail (I guess) they chop it up, dip it in batter and fry it up. Sooo delicious. I tried them in the keys years ago and it was so good! I had them a few times that week. Lol

Loved conch fritters(had in Nassau), and have been hoping to find them on our next cruise. Thanks for the heads up on where to find this yummy treat! If anyone wants to chime in with other locations...

They are a staple in the Bahamas. At Nassau, I had some really good ones at a place called Conch Fritters on Marlboro St. For what it's worth, they also have lightening fast free wifi there, which allowed me to check in for my flight home the next day. (I was on Getaway, too).

So where are the best conch fritters in Key West...

[Smokin J]

If you want some at home they sell a frozen mix at us foods "chef" store.

If in Nassau we go to the fish fry.

The Bahamas is well know for having great conch fritters. In Nassau in the Fish Fry area Twin Brothers has some good ones. ;)

Second that !! We were at Twin Brothers in July. Stayed at the Cove in Atlantis. Guy was cleaning dozens of conch on a picnic table outside the window. Very good food.

So where is Coconuts in Charlotte Amalie? Is it the place at the top of the hill via the skyway? Heard the place up there has great drinks as well. Would love to grab some good conch in April, but not going to the Bahamas this time.

Thank you for that! My mom had grown up on them and used to say how much she liked them. We had them years ago on our cruise to Nassau and loved them. Glad to know we can get them here, too. :)

We were in the Bahamas this past May and did the Tru Bahamian Food Tour and it was marvelous! We had some amazing conch fritters with a dipping sauce at a restaurant called Bahamian Cookin Rest & Bar. All of their food was homemade and delicious. I highly recommend it.
