Cooked a lot of it for other but I have never tried it Yellow Jack chowder what a memory now I'm hungryAs a kid in S Fla we would keep a couple of queens to eat - the meat is "crunchy" and delicious right out of the shell with lemon. Horse Conch is a carnivorous gastropod that eats other "snails", crabs etc & not really good to eat. But Queen Conch fritters are to die for.

That's not crab eyes, it's a snail looking at you.
That was back before Hurricane Andrew I've also heard that the hammerheads are missing down there too and I'm really sad but all I've ever cooked was shipped in I was New OrleansIt is illegal to keep them in Fla now as they are so scarce - I think you can still order them from Bimini or the Bahamas tho.
Bummer, they used to be everywhere when I was growing up.
I never saw one with the snail still occupying the shell....Yikes!OH UGH, I'm so not eating that!
Yeah, after that there won't be a next time ::shudder::I never saw one with the snail still occupying the shell....Yikes!
Think of that the next time you put one to your ear to hear the "ocean"....I never did trust that.
Delicious beaten to death.*Conch* but you are forgiven as it is pronounced "Conk".
