About
Conch — the large marine gastropod with a spiral shell — is a Caribbean staple and an Antiguan delicacy. It’s served in multiple ways: cracked conch (tenderised and deep-fried in seasoned breadcrumbs), conch fritters (minced conch in herbed batter, fried golden), conch ceviche (marinated raw conch with lime, peppers, and onion), and conch chowder (rich, creamy soup with vegetables). The freshest conch comes from seafood shacks along the coast — ask where the fishing boats unload.
