Conch shells come from large sea snails found all over the Bahamas. The queen conch is the most common, and their shells usually grow 6–9 inches, but big ones can reach 12–14 inches. That signature flared pink lip? That’s how you know it’s a mature conch. People in the Caribbean eat conch a lot — the meat is slightly sweet and a bit chewy, kind of like a mix between clam and scallop. #conchshell #bahamas | Julia Fortune
