This is an adaptation of one of our favorite appetizers using whole frozen cooked clams instead of conch easily obtained everywhere and baking them instead of deep frying them. Makes 12 fritters as an appetizer or 2 dinner portions of 6 fritters each. Very easy and fast. About 5 minutes prep time Conch fritters are a great delicacy in Florida and the Caribbean.
