  1. I uderstand your point Kara. In America, that is the way to make a fritter.
    In many Asian countries however, a slice of vegetable when breaded, dipped in a batter and deep fried is called fritter.
    Not many people would use that technique to zucchini, hence this is rather uncommon I would say.
    However, zucchini were so tender, I thought why to shred them, lets dipped in batter and fried it. :)
    Thanks for writing .

  2. I don’t know that I’d consider this a fritter, as much as just … well .. fried zucchini sticks. A fritter would be the zucchini shredded or chopped and mixed a batter (egg, milk, flour, spices) and then fried.

    I’ve never seen anything that’s just breaded and fried called a fritter.
