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!
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.
A friend of mine, Debbie, is from the Bahamas and she gave me this recipe. This is a traditional Bahamian recipe that is made with conch, the wonderful shellfish that is delicous but not so easy to find outside of the Bahamas. We, here in South Florida, are very close to Key West; the Conch Republic. These fritters are great as appetizers, finger foods or very tasty hors d’oeuvres to accompany your favorite rum punch or tropical drink! Conch can be replaced with any seafood. Make this batter with calamari, shrimp, imitation crab meat and lobster & see how awesome it turns out. Read about CONCH on the web, it’s interesting. BEWARE – these are HOT.
