Lobster is all well and good...but what about the Conch?

[Rasta Animal]

There are closed seasons on lobster and conch during their reproductive cycles – August 1 to December 31 for conch, and April 1 to June 30 for lobster.

As a New Englander who spends a ton of time on the Maine coast, I never bother with what they call lobster in the Caribbean, but I do look forward to conch!

Maine lobster is quite nice, but then there's Shediac, New Brunswick, the "Lobster Capital of the World." I dined on my 2.5 pounder sitting next to a behemoth caught in the '60's that was ten times that size. I like bugs no matter where they're from, but they always taste better in Negril! Oh yeah, I never dip my 3 Dives lobster in the butter. Where's that homemade?!! Respect --Marblehead
