A fritter is any kind of food coated in
batter and
deep fried. The word comes from the
Latin frictura ("
frying") by way of
Old French and
Middle English. It can refer to a
dessert, a
side dish or a
main course food.In
British fish and chip shops, the fish and chips can be accompanied by fritters, which means a food item (such as a slice of potato, a pineapple ring, an apple ring or some
mushy peas) fried in batter. Hence: potato fritter, pineapple fritter, apple fritter, pea fritter, etc.Small cakes made with a primary ingredient, mixed with batter and fried, are found in many American cuisines. "Corn fritters" and "apple fritters" are well known, although the American apple fritter is unlike the British one. Fritters may use regular flour, cornmeal, or a mix.
New England clam cakes and
Maryland Boardwalk-style
crab cakes are essentially varieties of fritter.
