Vendors set up their frying pots specifically along Jacmel's Carnival parade route, since the city's Carnival, famous for its papier-mâché masks, is considered one of Haiti's biggest street-food nights.
Minced conch is folded into a seasoned flour batter and dropped by spoonfuls into hot oil, fried until golden, and sold in paper cones to the crowds along Jacmel's streets.
Why it's made this way: Jacmel's reputation as Haiti's Carnival capital, on the southeastern coast, makes conch fritters a signature night-market food tied to the city's festival culture.
