About Mollusks, conch, baked or broiled
Conch (pronounced 'konk') is the meat of a large sea snail, a staple across the Caribbean and the Bahamas where it appears in fritters, chowders, salads and the lime-cured 'conch salad' that resembles ceviche. The meat is firm, white and faintly sweet, with a clean flavor of the sea and a satisfying, slightly chewy bite.
This baked or broiled conch has about 130 calories per 100 grams, an impressive 26 grams of protein and barely a gram of fat, making it one of the leanest, most protein-rich shellfish you can eat. It also provides vitamin B12, magnesium, selenium and iron.
Conch is naturally tough and benefits from either long, slow cooking or, conversely, a brief cure in citrus juice that 'cooks' it without heat. It is pounded tender for fritters and cracked conch, or simmered into rich chowders. Note that the queen conch is over-harvested in parts of its range and is protected in some waters, so sourcing it responsibly matters.
