Rinse and finely chop the conch meat into small pieces, removing any tough portions.

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.

Dice the bell peppers, onions, and mince the garlic.

Finely chop the scotch bonnet pepper, removing seeds if less heat is desired.

Add the chopped conch, bell peppers, onions, garlic, scotch bonnet, cilantro, and thyme to the flour mixture.

Beat the eggs and add to the mixture along with milk, stirring until just combined into a thick batter.

Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot or dutch oven to 350°F.

Using a spoon, carefully drop heaping tablespoons of batter into the hot oil, frying 5-6 fritters at a time.

Fry for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.

Remove fritters with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

For the chutney, dice the papaya into small cubes and combine with lime juice, grated ginger, honey, and a pinch of salt.

Let the chutney sit for 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Serve the warm fritters immediately with the papaya chutney on the side.
