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.”
A rich delicious recipe with lots of flavor and a little spicy Kick. A baked Macaroni like none you’ve had before. My husband is famous for this macaroni. Its a bit of work but worth it.
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.
Everyone whose ever heard about the Bahamas thinks about conch. We were once called the conch isles. However, it is little known fact that conch is the most perennial dish, not the the national dish! The most important part of the national dish of the Bahamas. Eaten almost everyday with Steamed Nassau Grouper,coleslaw and fried plaintain especially between the months of June and August. This recipe will prove challenging for those unfamiliar with how to prepare the land crabs…. but it tastes like manna … intensely delectable experience for your tastebuds!
