Fresh Corn Fritters

You can make these golden brown fritters dotted with corn kernels with frozen corn any time of the year, but they are best if you wait until summertime when your local corn is in season. Any variety—white or yellow, standard or supersweet—can be used. Serve the fritters alongside everything from grilled fish to fried chicken.
