Remember that conch fritter Mr. Hunter sampled earlier in his Bahamas trip?
Here's a look at the conch meat and the conch shell, courtesy of Bimini Road's seafood display.
Conch is a big theme not just on menus but also in some of the tourist patter you encounter. Later on the trip, we took a ferry to Nassau, and in both directions we were treated to slightly different versions of the same "conch as aphrodisiac" jokes...
Men should eat two bowls of conch salad a day.
It's like Viagra.
It'll put some slide in your glide.
Some pep in your step.
