Step 1
Tenderize the 1 lb conch by pounding it with a mallet until thin, then finely chop it into small pieces.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the 1 cup flour, 1 tsp baking powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Step 3
Beat the 1 egg and 0.5 cup milk into the flour mixture until just combined; the batter should be lumpy.
Step 4
Fold in the chopped conch, 0.5 diced onion, and 2 sliced scallions until evenly distributed.
Step 5
Heat the 2 cups vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high until a drop of batter sizzles immediately, about 350°F.
Step 6
Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, frying in batches without crowding, until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Step 7
Drain the fritters on paper towels and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
