Similar to something I had in Brussels at a lunch spot. You stand at a bar and eat standing up. I didn’t speak any of the languages and the waiter just brought me the daily specials. It was about 3 degrees and no one seemed to mind the cold except me who had just spent 6 months in the tropics!
Have not tried this but it looks good. Found the Recipe on www.Foodnetwork.com Show: $40 a Day Episode: Park City, UT
The Winning Recipe for 1998 in the San Francisco Chronicle, from Loretta Keller. All you need is some crusty bread to make a meal of this.
Conchs are quite popular in South Florida, as most there come from the Bahamas, were they are plentiful. If you cannot get frozen conchs, chopped clams may be substituted. If using chopped clams, add them at the last moment to keep them tender. The chowder is chunky, spicy, and robust with flavor – goes great with toasted bread rounds. Found recipe in, “The Whole Foods Market Cookbook.”
According to The Florida Keys Cookbook, where I found this recipe, the Bahamians held the conch in mystical regard, believing its consumption enhanced male potency. They brought the recipe with them when they immigrated to the Florida Keys.
