A trip a few weekends ago took me to the Turks and Caicos. Never been to the Islands before, but being committed to bringing you all good content, I had to make the trek. Someone has to make sacrifices for the greater good of the blog. The top local flavor on my list-- the CONCH, which is pronounced like a blend between words that describe the male and female anatomy. I felt like Ralph… or Piggy… from that childhood read, "Lord of the Flies" The end-all, be-all for conch is of course, "The Conch Shack" a ramshackle open air beach outpost with white wooden walls and lazy ceiling fans. And conch in all its glorious forms-- sashimi, carpaccio, sauteed, baked, and of course, fried. The shellfish is versatile, holding its own well in all these preparations whether pickled, sweet, or savory. Where can you get this in LA?!
