Sailing Northern Exumas! Allans Cay to Staniel Cay. Chris makes Conch Fritters, they are the best!!

THIS WEEK: We have had an amazing couple of weeks Sailing Northern Exumas and visiting Allans Cay to see some Iguanas, Longs Cay to escape an Easterly, Shroud Cay for some excellent kayaking, and finally on to Staniel Cay where, yes, we stopped at Piggy Beach.
And Chris made THE BEST Conch Fritters! Here is his recipe:
(music credits below recipe, check em out!)
***We started with two large conch and then used what we had on hand. Improvisation!
Cut and tenderized using a meat mallet.
Marinade overnight (or minimum 3 hours) in lemon juice, white wine, black pepper, fresh thyme, and a pinch of salt.
In a food processor, pulse until fine, the conch (and the marinade juice), onion, garlic, cayenne, carrot, tomato, hot peppers (whatever you have), and fresh thyme.
In a mixing bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and beer, then add in processed conch mix and stir until a loose, sticky paste forms. We had to add in about 1/2 cup more flour to absorb liquids and firm up the batter.
Heat oil and carefully spoon in a fritter size dollop and cook for 5 minutes rotating the fritter every minute for an even cook.
Extract, cool and eat!
Prepare:
2 conch
3 oz lemon juice
3 oz white wine
Teaspoon black pepper
Pinch of sea salt
2 sprigs fresh thyme
