Original recipe serves 10. Current scale: 1x.
Bright tangy & spicy with the delicate flavor of diced conch throughout. This refreshing summer salad involves a lot of chopping/dicing but it is so worth it. If conch is not available, canned whelk, scungilli, is acceptable. From Sandy Estabrook’s Guide to the Abacos, Bahamas. Cook time is marinating time. Conch is relatively inexpensive here - shrimpers catch them in their nets & few folks know how delicious they are...sssh! I don't want the price to go up!
