Conch Chowder

Did you drive your truck back and forth over the conch meat to tenderize it, rather than beat it, like my mother said she did?
 
I lubs me some chowdah, and yours looks DIVINE Lady J! Yes please, and seconds if I can!

Thanks Chris! I'd share if you lived closer. :grin:

Don't give me ideas. lol Works great for cracker crumbs too. :p
 
Wow! I would love a bowl of this right now. It would go incredible with all the snow we have!!!

Shoot, I bet you're getting buried in white stuff! Hope you keep warm. Thanks! :grin:

Nice cowgirl! I too prefer cream based chowder over tomato. Your's looks outstanding!
Me too Dennis! For some reason the creamy chowder is more of a comfort to me. Thanks so much! :grin:
 
Fantastic job Jeanie and beautifully presented.
 
The only thing I would do different is have that in a bread bowl - and if there was no bread bowl available, I'd just eat the whole pot. :hungry:

That looks incredible, Jeanie, and I guarantee you were eating the best conch chowder in OK - and, let's be real - probably anywhere else for that matter.

And I know I keep saying it, but it still applies - the way you keep coming out with such different and delicious meals boggles my mind - just incredible!

I love your bread bowl idea. I'll give that a go next time.

I've eaten lot of conch, both raw and cooked. But never in chowder. That looks delicious and so pretty!

Thanks so much, Ulc! I still need to try it ceviche style. Bet it's delicious! :grin:
 
99.8% of our conchs end up in china town, and eventually Hong Kong, The Chinese dont boil the fresh conchs to remove the meat, instead they crack them out with a hammer, and pack and freeze for their long ocean voyage. When they do cook them, they take the cracked out raw conch, clean it up and cut into thin slices, put a handful of slices into a perforated ladle, dunk into boiling water and count to 10, thats it, tender. Or pressure cook them, Otherwise, you could re tred a tire with them and it would never where out, lol
So there ya go, conch lesson #1, lol

Interesting! The only fresh conch I've had was cracked out.
Sounds bout like cooking calamari, either cook it quick or long...there's no in between. :grin:
Thanks for the info!:cool:
