Hi all,

Just wondering where to eat the best conch on Tobago?

Eat conch, please don't ....over fishing is a big problem (maybe not so much in Tobago??). I personally stopped eating conch after we took up scuba diving and learned more about their life cycle and reef environmental issues. A link you might wish to read http://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/pr/species/inv ... nconch.htm. There lots more websites you can also check out.
Tobago waters and reef are having enough problems (for various reasons); lets encourage saving what still remains.
Cheers, Carol

Thanks for the good info. Glad that they are being managed at least in some places.

Regardless of the environmental aspect i find conch overrated. I used to eat curried conch
and dumplings occasionally at Store Bay. If it is not properly cooked, it tends to be rubbery
and i honestly prefer a good curried chicken over the conch.
Leave them where they belong ... in the sea.
