"This is a basic and classic Bahamian-style conch salad. Very much like ceviche, but using conch instead of fish. Fresh conch is not readily available outside of the Caribbean, but your fish monger may have it frozen. You can easily substitute Scungilli (whelk), which is often available in fish markets near Italian neighborhoods. The scungilli will look dark, but turns white during the marinating process. NOTE: Time does not include soak time 30 minutes."
