Conch salad

Bahamas · Latin America

Short description: Conch salad is a chilled seafood preparation where citrus and vegetables season diced raw conch.
Ingredients: Raw diced conch with citrus juice, onion, tomato, bell pepper, hot pepper, and salt.
Cultural note: It is often prepared at casual counters or seaside stands, with the chopping and citrus mix done shortly before serving.
Common misconception: The shell is not the ingredient; the edible meat inside the large marine snail is diced for the salad.
