Comments:
A Conch (Konk) is a common name which is applied to a number of different species of medium-sized to large sea snails. Second in popularity only to the escargot for edible snails, the “meat” of the conch is used as food, either eaten raw, as in salads, or cooked, as in fritters, chowders, gumbos, and burgers.
