Conch fritters are a very popular snack in Belize and my personal favorite snack. I love love conch fritters or anything that has to do with conch. If I could eat this every day I would.

Thank you so much Ed! I appreciate you stopping by to check out my channel. I love mi Belizean food! Which part of Belize are you from? 🇧🇿❤

I’m from Belize City. I’ve been gone a long time... but you can’t take the belize out of us! Soooo hard to find belizean food in the US!

[@CookingwithShirani]

Okay, well I'm from Punta Gorda. I always cook my Belizean food here in the US. I like that I can find a lot of the ingredients we use back home here in Texas.

@An R I think I'm living in the wrong state, I need to move to Florida lol

[@kathyhardyjones6757]

Angelica I’m from Miami also and just returned 2 weeks ago. A 5 lb box is $80 but I bit the bullet and bought 2 boxes. I cut it up and bagged and froze the it was easier to bring back on the plane. I live in Colorado Spgs but I have enough to last until I get home again at the end of the year. Conch fritters are on the menu today.

[@kathyhardyjones6757]

@@anr5458 It’s so expensive I bought 10 lbs when I was there last month to bring back to ColoradoSprings with me . $80 a box the hurricanes are decimating the conch beds.

I LOVE YOUR COOKING I'M A BELIZEAN WHITE SPANISH BUT MY AUNT HUSBAND WAS BLACK BELIZEAN AND HE'S COOKING WAS THE BEST THAT WHAT I GREW UP ON.

[@CookingwithShirani]

Thank you. There's nothing like some good home cooked Belizean Food 😊❤️

[@suzyq5520]

I love conch fritters. I like it spicy and not too greasy. I can say I’ve had it as a snack, for breakfast, lunch and dinner before. Wish conchs was easier to find and more affordable. Last time I had it we payed a pretty penny for a couple pounds. So enjoyed it to the very last in some ceviche and fritters. Yours look delish.

[@CookingwithShirani]

Thank you! I think it's even better the next day and as any meal like you say 😊. I know I wish it was cheaper. Which store do you buy yours from?

[@suzyq5520]

Cooking with Shirani I ordered it online (that’s how desperate we were for some conchs 😆) so you can imagine it was quite pricey , from Giovanni’s Fish Market.

[@CookingwithShirani]

OMG!!! When people are desperate they do desperate things 😁. I don't even want to think about the price 😟😀. I bet it was worth it though, that's all that matters 😍.

[@suzyq5520]

Cooking with Shirani Yes girl very true, it was a one time thing lol since then I hold the cravings til I’m visiting Belize again 😆

Have you ever tried using cornmeal and less water? I’m thinking since I use cornmeal on fish and seafood it would taste really delicious. Using equal parts of flour and cornmeal or just cornmeal.

[@CookingwithShirani]

I never thought about that before but I like the idea. I'll definitely try it the next time I make some 😊

[@kueenvalarine6877]

you're geting the splatter of grease because you are using a frying pan. Use a large 3 or 4 qt pot where it can float when it is done and you will have great conch fritters with no splatter of grease to clean up.

[@CookingwithShirani]

Thanks for the tip 🙂

[@justifiedlife1595]

Looks real good, but first ingredient in sarzon seasoning is MSG. Morton salt contains modified food starch. Both not too good for you. I will stick to natural seasonings from my spice shop.

[@CookingwithShirani]

I totally agree with you. I hope to go more natural one day.

[@chosenmejia5438]

Hey Mrs Shirani can I use milk ineted of the water or will it not work well

[@CookingwithShirani]

You can use milk but the milk makes them burn faster without evenly cooking them.

Hello Shirani. Do you know the recipe for conch salad ? I can’t wait to make some fritters it’s so hard getting conch in Michigan . I grew up in Miami and had fritters everyday as Child😊

[@CookingwithShirani]

Omg! You were one lucky child to have conch fritters everyday 🤗. If you can't find conchs you could also use shrimp. I know it's not the same but it's still good. I'm not sure which conchs salad you are asking about, you mean like conchs ceviche?

[@the1.e522]

What store can I find conch at? Kind of hard to find it where I live.
