Bahamian Conch Fritters
Probably the most popular recipe in the Bahamian/Caribbean cuisine. Fresh Conch isn’t always easy to find, and it has to be fresh. Be careful to keep it refrigerated and use as soon as possible.
Bahamian Conch Chowder
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.”
Aromatic Bahamian Conch Chowder
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.
