Crack Conch with Peas and Rice

Queen conch (Crack Conch) is a giant sea creature that is naturally found in the ocean surrounding the islands of the Bahamas. It is a versatile and flavorful delicacy and islanders have prepared this conch in a variety of delicious ways. The flesh of the conch is tough and chewy but ‘cracking’ or pounding it with a meat mallet causes it to become tender. Fried conch strips are eaten with Bahamian style peas and rice.
