- Place conch in a non reactive mixing bowl along with all other ingredients.
- Mix well and serve.
Where do I get fresh conch up here in Pensacola, Fl. ? I’d really enjoy a fresh conch salad. I don’t even find it anywhere in our seafood restaurants up here. I enjoyed this while on a cruise back in 1984. Miss it much!
