If you are a regular to Classic Bakes, you will know we love to explore all the ways Conch can be prepared. We have shared Roti and Conch Meat or Traditional Bahamian Conch Fritters. So here we are again with another Bahamian favorite Conch Salad. This dish is similar to ceviche, where we will prepare raw Conch with fresh seasonings and a citrus juice infusion. While some people may be skeptical about eating raw seafood, it’s not wholly raw when designed this way. The conch is cooked by the acid content in the citrus juice mixture, making it safe and delicious to eat. For those who have never tried raw seafood, we invite you to try this recipe for Conch Salad. Your food adventure awaits, so let’s get to cooking!

Instructions

Prepare the Conch meat by first cleaning it off any shell or debris and then using a meat mallet or rolling pin. Beat the meat until it’s soft and tender, then chop it into bite-sized pieces.

Place the Conch into a glass or ceramic bowl, add in all the other ingredients, then toss everything together, making sure to combine thoroughly.

Let the mixture marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight for more depth of flavor.

Served chilled in salad bowls.
