BAHAMIAN CONCH CHOWDER



Bahamian Conch Chowder image

Conchs are quite popular in South Florida, as most there come from the Bahamas, were they are plentiful. If you cannot get frozen conchs, chopped clams may be substituted. If using chopped clams, add them at the last moment to keep them tender. The chowder is chunky, spicy, and robust with flavor - goes great with toasted bread rounds. Found recipe in, "The Whole Foods Market Cookbook."

2 stalks celery, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
1/2 green pepper, seeded, deribbed and chopped
1/2 red pepper, seeded, deribbed and chopped
1/2 yellow pepper, seeded, deribbed and chopped
1 poblano pepper, seeded, deribbed and chopped
1/2 jalapeño pepper, seeded, deribbed and chopped
4 small new potatoes, peeled, diced and placed in cold water to prevent discoloration
1 1/2 cups canned tomato purée
1 1/2 cups Italian canned whole tomatoes, drained and coarsely chopped

  • Meanwhile, in a separate pot, heat fish stock and clam juice until simmering. Add the ground conch, stirring vigorously so the conch doesn't clump up.
