Conch Salad in the Bahamas: From the Ocean Floor Straight to my Belly
Conch Salad is a signature Bahamian dish. It’s made with raw conch (duh), onions, peppers, lime and orange juice, and other special spices. If you’re lucky, the salad will be prepared right in front of you, as documented above. Our guide Pat pulled the conch out of their shells by severing a hole in just the right spot. Then he chopped it up and added it to the other ingredients. And yes, those are sharks circling below.
The conch is straight from the ocean floor, caught that morning by Pat.
Here’s the end result. Now get in my belly!
