Conch Delight

I recently had the experience of eating conch seafood in the Bahamas.  It's a very delicious dish that can be eaten raw (salad) or cooked (fritters).  In it's raw form, a salad can be made of the conch meat, along with the following ingredients: lime, orange jalapeno pepper, onion, tomatoes, and green pepper.  A demonstration of the salad being made had it prepared in less than 5 minutes.  As a fritter, it is simply fried.  I had it as a burger with an orange flavored zesty sauce on the bread that made it mouth watering, and a delight to eat.  

The conch can also be used as a musical instrument.  A specially cut hole at the top will turn it into a wind instrument, and it sounds like a trumpet, as in a blowing horn.  Another way a conch can also be used is as a simple decoration.  I currently have my souvenir conch shell on my kitchen counter top, and it reminds me daily of the sea.  And if you listen to the shell closely, you'll also hear the sea as well.
