Conch: This mollusk, pronounced “conk”, is encased in a beautiful, brightly colored spiral shell. Conch is the second best-known edible sea snail and is widely found throughout the Caribbean. Its meat has a mild, sweet clam-like flavor. When preparing conch soup, stew, salad, ceviche or, best of all, spicy conch fritters, the tough conch flesh is beaten into tender submission before cooking. Conch is sometimes erroneously referred to as whelk, which, though related, is a different species.
