How to Shell & Clean Conch
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Known as "snail of the sea," conch is delicious in stews like Portuguese Cataplana. Its versatility also translates into fritters and salads. You can buy its meat fresh or frozen but there's a lot of satisfaction in the excavation process. For hundreds more cooking and technique how2s, go to how2heroes.com

I'm making ceviche for mother's day. You just rescued my plan. Thank you!
Thanks for the video
I prefer the queen conk, lived on grand bahama island for a few years, had the best conk salad there.
Wow, all that removal for such a small amount of meat.
Most should come out by setting salt around the shell and some of the conch should come out of its shell as I noted from another video.
I saw one on top chef being extracted with a cork screw type device. They never had to break the shell.

That isn't how it's done in real life where you're not doing it specifically for a restaurant with a tool designed for it specifically. The suction of the conch shell keeps them. You use a knife not a hammer, and people from the Bahamas actually know how to this properly - he's clearly not so experienced.
I feel bad for eating conch now lol
I never clean the dark part is that OK
Caribbean people boil it or pour hot water to get the meat

I hate when people do this. It makes the meat rubbery.
There's no way this guy is a chef.... Chef's wouldn't waste that much meat. The dark parts are edible, as well as the hipatopancreas.

Actually in restaurants we waiste tons of food and meats in the name of time. If we can zip-zap clean/debone/filet something fast and get 80% its cheaper then nitpicking at something and paying the staff more per hour or needing more staff to do the job. The wasted food is cheaper then more hourly wages especially these days
How can someone in your profession be working with a dull knife?! The dark meat can be scraped off and you get more meat.
My type of video.. gets right into the shits
"Most are stubborn and don't like to come out easily".....Uh, probably because he's not into being chopped up and eaten 🙄 🤷🏻♀️

you’re such a troll, it’s necessary knowledge to eat the snail
God you must have been a student because you made this look like actual surgery compared to just...removing the near.
I never saw a chef with such a dull knife. Geez!
Ok so basically 90% of the conch was wasted, cool

Only by this guy and people like him. Everything on it can be used in some way. The shell, guts and foot are the parts not eaten by us. 3:44 Conch slob can be used for conch fritters (the flabby flat bits) and other dishes. I don't eat the skin or cook with it but you can do a lot with it as long as you preboil it for a long while and then grind it in a food processor before using it to cook with. It'll still be tough and chewy tho. Good to add to mushy soft foods with not much texture like grits or rice. Conch and grits is so good. The guts/butt is discarded. Throw in the garden or tossdd overboard as chum for the fishes. Shell used for jewelry. Ornaments etc. Shell can also be crushed into a powder to enrich the soil. The hard part on the foot can be made into jewelry etc. On the male conch some people pull the penis like organ out and eat it raw.
