About

Conch is a popular fish throughout the Caribbean and this method of preparation could be considered a Trini-style ceviche, although because of the conch’s tough texture it must be cooked to soften it. To add extra freshness to the dish, I sometimes include julienned jicama with the watercress.

Ingredients

2 pounds conch meat
1 tablespoon green seasoning
1

Fish course
Gluten-free

Method

Using a meat mallet, pound the conch for about 2 minutes in order to tenderize it. (It should be pounded flat, like a chicken cutlet and feel less rubbery to the touch.)
Cut the conch into bite-size pieces and place in a deep saucepan with 4 cups of water. Add the green seasoning and simmer over low heat until the conch is tender, about 1½ hours. Drain and cool.</
