Dixie Crossroads Corn Fritters

I have been meaning to post this recipe for a long time; these are absolutely delicious! Dixie Crossroads is a fantastic seafood restaurant in Florida, and they serve these before each meal. At the restaurant you can buy the fritter mix, but they also give out the recipe so you can make them from scratch.
