I was hoping for those conch fritters sitting in a nice hot tub of lemon butter meuniere sauce with capers,

Zest of one lime and juice mixed with sour cream and mayo makes a very hot blue and righteous splooge for the conch frits too!

Your fans await more bahama eats! But please don't eat da bonefish. At least not untill I be catchin' hims.

Bring to a boil for 4-5 minutes and then turn off heat and then add remaining whole basil leaves.

Up here, conch is usually sold under its Italian name, scungilli. My wife makes it sometimes with red sauce. Both your recipes look great. I'm going to have to try to make the fritters.
 
Oh snap those sound awesome!

Why are the tips of my conch red, and yours are black?
(funny question, but I'm serious)
 
I love Conch, Conch ceviche is my favorite. Catch them, take a fishing line with a hook and hook their foot, hang them in a tree and let them pull out of their shell. Then take key limes with sliced thin onions, diced conch and your favorite chili and love is born!
