Florida Cracker Conch Chowder image

My father-in-law shared this recipe with me and I knew I had been accepted into the family. This recipe has been passed down generation after generation. Back in the day, his family would camp on empty islands, fish all day and make chowder in the evening. It is delicious.

This chowder is a great way to use up leftover conch. I always have some leftover after I make conch fritters.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this chowder with tofu instead of conch. It was delicious!

This chowder is way too salty. I had to add a lot of water to make it palatable.

This chowder is a bit bland for my taste. I think it needs more seasoning.
