Just interested in all of your opinions. Who do you think has the best Conch Fritters. Best I've EVER had were at Rasta Pasta. UnfreakinBelizeable!!! Also had very good ones at Lily's, Rico's and Fido's. As far as U.S. fritters go, the ones at Buffett's Margaritaville in New Orleans are excellent. They fly their conch in fresh weekly. Killer rum drinks as well. :p
Tried to reproduce "The conch fritter" at home no Conch at home so substituted Clams actually turned out pretty good. Of course like any Belize obsessed traveler I had plenty of Marie Sharps for the recipe
Best ones I've had were at a Gumbha (spelling) Festival in Key West in the Bahamian Village. They close the street in that area and have tons of street vendors serving Caribbean food. Yum! Have yet to try Belizean ones, but will this June.
Hi BB! This is a wonderful thing! To see you compliment someone!
Really, it may sound like I'm being sarcastic towards you, but I'm not, well...... maybe a little. Maralyn does a fine job, I've followed her restaurants around for years. I've never tried the conch fritters, but everything else she has is always good. Love the curry. I'll try the fritters the next time.
Jennie's at Caliente's makes them almost like her mother, Ms Elvi. Jennie is very proud that all her receipes are her own. She doesn't even steal from her mothers receipes. PS. Then that jerk Richie takes off with all of Jennie's receipes, for a couple extra dollars. What a jerk!!
We went to Calientes this February with Sylvin and a new person just certified to dive (Hi Pam!) to celebrate, and I am kicking myself that I didn't try the fritters after hearing all this. They sound good. Next trip.
Just to make sure my vote was not made in haste, I had one simple order of Conch Fritters with the "secret sauce" at Caliente's this afternoon. No mistake!!! Jennie has away with Conch Fritters.
Hey, I don't know who has the best conch fritters on Ambergris Caye, but does anybody know if any place makes conch fingers? Nothing but tender breaded deepfried conch served with lime mayo sauce. TO DIE FOR!!! I've only had it this way in the Abaco's (bahamas) Sure hope we can find it in Belize.
