Finely mince the conch.

Chop the green pepper, red pepper, celery, and onion.

Combine the minced conch with the chopped vegetables in a bowl.

Add the slightly beaten egg to the conch and vegetable mixture.

In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Add the dry ingredients to the conch mixture and combine well to form a batter.

Season the batter to taste with pepper or Bahamian hot pepper sauce.

Form the batter into balls approximately 1-2 inches in size.

Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet to 375°F (190°C).

Carefully drop one fritter at a time into the hot oil, waiting a few seconds before adding additional fritters to prevent cooling the oil too quickly.

Fry the fritters for 3-5 minutes, turning them as they rise to the surface, until they are golden brown on all sides.

Remove the fried fritters and drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Serve the Bahamian Conch Fritters with Key Lime Mustard Sauce or your favorite cocktail sauce.
