I"ve been tweaking this recipe. It's a combination of several that I've tried. Absolutely delicious with fresh corn however frozen or canned corn can be substituted.

I was really disappointed with these corn fritters. They were dry and tasteless, and the Oriental relish was way too sweet. I won't be making these again.

These corn fritters were good, but not great. The fritters themselves were a bit bland and the Oriental relish was too spicy for my taste. I think I'll stick to my usual corn fritter recipe next time.
