Conch is a shellfish type of animal that tastes like a clam when fresh, but has the consistency and texture of calamari. Most often, you come across 'conch fritters' which are a poor imitation of conch. The fritters are ground conch mixed with bread dough and deep fried with onions. I had the fritters a few times and didn't really think they tasted like conch. Shown here, is 'cracked conch' which is strips of whole conch, lightly breaded and deep fried. This is what I recommend you eat. I'd already eaten half this $9 plate when I got the idea to take a picture. Its quite good and I got it at Haven Seafood restaurant on a pier off of Bay St. Conch shells, polished or raw are also sold. Off a boat, the price should be $2 for a raw one. Leave a Comment

The most common beer served in the Bahamas is Kalik. Its brewed in a lager style and I would rate it at the same quality as one of the premium brands of American beer (i.e. Michelob) or a mass produced European beer (i.e Tuborg). Like a lot of beers from hotter climes, its a bit lighter, and a bit gassier than what I'm used to, but I found it to be pretty good. They also brew a heavier wheat beer called Lucaya which I found tastier, but a bit filling for the weather. Leave a Comment

Colorful Junkanoo, the most significant festival on the island, also hails from the days of slavery, when slaves were given a special holiday on the day after Christmas. The past and its traditions are very important to Grand Bahamians, as is a healthy dose of religion.
