We have stopped for accras every time before going to the airport to fly back home. It's my way of keeping the flavor as a memory until the next trip. I first discovered them in Portugal, in of all places, a bakery, and was pleasantly surprised to find similar in SXM.

I don't recall many places that offer conch fritters, but I do know they have them at L' Escargot. I can't say they were tastier than accras, but IMO, the differences in either accras or conch fritters is primarily in the batter, not the meat--usually sparse. I am a big fan of conch fritters., though.
We really like their conch salad-made with raw conch as it should be, and their conch chowder, which is more like a bisque than a chowder. They might only offer this at lunch, so you might want to check with them.

No idea if they are the "best" as that is subjective but The Greenhouse has them on their online menu.

Hubby has had them at Mary's Boon. And maybe the Yacht Club? Or are those Grouper? I can attest to how good everything is at Nowhere Special. The Johnny Cakes are awesome, and come out like bread for the table!

I don't think there is a conch fritter that will ever compete with the ones we had in Key West. How right you are! Also Prove in Turks and Caicos had some of the best I have ever eaten.

Turtle Pier had the best Conch Fritters I had in SXM. Had them at Nowhere Special in July and they were still good. I figured they would be since it’s all in the Family!

No. Didn't reopen after Irma. Joel and Sonya had been talking about closing up shop before Irma, and I guess that was the last straw. They are missed. To bad. They are nice people. After I noticed his miniature liquor bottle collection I brought him about 50 various bottles I had duplicated in my collection for him. He was so grateful he dropped off a bottle of his homemade rum in a handpainted bottle by Sonya. Rum is long gone but still have the bottle.
