Instructions
1
Preheat your deep fryer or large saucepan to a scorching 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2
Combine dry ingredients: In a large mixing container, whisk together flour, milk, and egg until you achieve a uniform consistency. Add a pinch of heat with cayenne pepper, along with seasoned salt, salt, and pepper to taste. Incorporate conch meat, chopped celery, sautéed onion, diced bell pepper, and minced garlic into the mixture.

Fry the fritters: Using a spoon or ladle, drop rounded tablespoons of the batter into the hot oil in batches. Cook until golden brown on all sides, taking approximately 5 minutes to achieve the desired color.
4
Drain excess oil: Remove the fritters from the hot oil and place them on paper towels to drain any remaining excess oil.
