On Taste of the Caribbean today, we have one of our favorite beach eats, conch fritters. A batter is made into which conch, peppers, onions, and seasonings are mixed, and then spoonfuls of the batter are dropped into the deep fryer. Served with a dipping sauce, it’s the perfect partner to a cold Turks Head or other island brew. These beauties were found at Da Conch Shack, Providenciales, Turks & Caicos Islands, where you can see the conch pulled from the ocean right before your eyes. For photos and details of our visits to Da Conch Shack, read our trip report!

Pair it with Jan’s Infamous Rum Punch, and you have the perfect seaside lunch. For more about Da Conch…

If you really had to narrow it down to a list, and put them in order of priority, what makes your top ten? Here’s our list: #10 Cocktails and tapas at SandBar, Sandy Ground, Anguilla. The perfect combination of delicious food and great views. #9 Sip lemon grass water in a lounge chair at the Four Seasons Nevis.

Courtesy of Da Conch Shack, on Providenciales in the Turks & Caicos Islands, is this beautifully prepared conch salad, pulled fresh from the ocean. Once the conch shell hits the work table, they knock a hole in the top of the shell, to expose the tendon which holds the conch inside. In one swift motion with his knife, the tendon is cut, the meat extracted, and the shell is tossed. Be sure to enjoy the delicious result with a cold Carib or one of Da Conch Shack’s fabulous rum punches.
