: What are the regulations regarding non-residents of the Bahamas taking conch for personal use? I don't really plan to go out and look for them, but if we find one, can we take it back to our rental and cook it up? Also, what DO you DO with them?
: Odd question, I know, but what the heck?
: Thanks much

CAROLINE, YOU ARE IN FOR A TREAT, HONEY! GO TO
SEE LAVAUGHN PERCENTIE, THE HARBOUR ISLAND "QUEEN
OF CONCH" AND ASK HER HOW MANY WAYS THERE ARE TO
FIX CONCH. ASSUMING THAT YOU ARE A NOVICE, DO NOT
UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES ATTEMPT TO COOK A CONCH
YOURSELF. TRUST THIS TO A NATIVE RESIDENT OF BRILAND
AND YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. WITH YEARS OF
PRACTICE...YOU TOO CAN BECOME A CONCH LOVING FREAK
JUST LIKE ME. P.S. ALWAYS WASH CONCH DOWN WITH
AN ICE COLD KALIK...REGARDLESS OF THE MANNER IT IS
PREPARED. BUT DO NOT TRY TO PREPARE IT YOURSELF, MY
DEAR...IT TAKES YEARS OF TRAINING AND MANY SECRET
NATIVE INGREDIENTS!!!!
