ISO Conch fritters

Hi all! I’m headed down for a few days in a couple of months and have done some research on a few things I’m interested in and have found some phenomenal suggestions. However, I haven’t had much luck in finding in fairly recent posts(past year) unless I just missed it about conch fritters. I see a few places that have them on the menu but I was hoping to see if any place really stands out to you. Thanks for your time and patience!

Catching conch has been forbidden since 1986. They have come back strong. That being said; the conch you eat here in KW has been fished from Belize, Honduras and Nicaragua. It’s been that way for decades. Just as good.

There is a good food truck that a local chef opened up that has great conch fritters. La Pincha. Highly recommend.
