I love seafood fritters with marmalade dipping sauce because when ever I make them they go flying off the plate and we can't ever make enough of them. They are finger food so that they are easy to eat at parties. If you don't want to use your fingers you can always use skewers or tooth picks too. These little nuggets are packed with flavor and seem to reach all of your senses, making them perfectly balanced in flavor. I like to put the fritters in paper cones or individual containers or ~ put them in little lined buckets on the tables so all can enjoy!
