I can get them out of the shell easily enough, but peeling them is a booger...any tips on that greatly appreciated.
We would love it if you posted your recipies for the various conch dishes!

When growing up in California, abalone was common but expensive in restaurants between Long Beach and San Diego. However, now it's almost impossible to get it north of the Mexican border.

When I had some sauteed Conch at Snooks Restaurant in Key Largo, the memories came flooding back! Almost exactly like the abalone I remembered and had loved so much.

We know it's illegal to harvest Conch in Florida waters, but we plan on traveling to the Bahamas on a regular basis, so any recipies you could provide would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks bunches
