Hoping for similar recipe to...

Post by mahojim »

The conch fritters at Shipwreck Landing are ny favorite on STJ. While I was going to try to make them here in Joisey, I think I'll be settling for calamari.
However, the "Tangy Cocktail Sauce" provided at Shipwreck still haunts me so...
Anyone have a recipe? I'd love to surprise My Sweet Amy with that little snack accompanied by a painkiller, or 5... :wink:
It might even inspire a pre-trips' worth of "unpacking..." 8)
Thanks, and always

Hilarious! So sweet of you- my hubby won't attempt to make a Painkiller- I have to make my own :shock: Can't help you on the recipes but have you tried to contact someone at Shipwreck? Maybe they will part with it?

don't know the sauce, but here in Joisey, it's easy to find conch - it's scungilli

I would be happy to give you the recipe but then I will
have to kill you.Then you would not be able to come back to St John and enjoy fritters in the proper setting. But seriously, I am always happy to share our recipes but we made a promise to the folks we bought Shipwreck from 17 years ago, along with the recipe that we would never give that one out. Guess you better just but Amy a plane
ticket.

I have my local fish market order me Conch. It comes frozen but that is great since it comes in a 5 pound package.

We make the actual fritters using a Kenyon's clam cake batter (local to RI) and then we add diced peppers and celery.

We make a remoulade type sauce to go with them, if you are interested, I will sent it to you, but I am sure it won't be as good as Shipwrecks cocktail sauce!
