Tips:

  • Use fresh conch: Fresh conch is essential for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh conch, frozen conch is a good substitute.
  • Clean the conch thoroughly: To clean the conch, remove the meat from the shell and rinse it well under cold water. Be sure to remove any bits of shell or sand.
  • Cut the conch into small pieces: Cut the conch into small pieces, about 1/2-inch thick. This will help it cook evenly.
  • Marinate the conch: Marinating the conch in a mixture of lime juice, olive oil, garlic, and spices will help to tenderize it and add flavor.
  • Cook the conch quickly: Conch is a delicate seafood, so it's important to cook it quickly over high heat. This will help to prevent it from becoming tough.
  • Serve the conch salad immediately: Conch salad is best served immediately after it's made. This will ensure that the conch is still tender and flavorful.
