Conch Town USA

"Conch Town USA delivers on its name. This is the best place to get conch cooked however you like it. Every preparation is great—from their conch fritters and fried conch to their spicy conch salad that’s the perfect post-beach snack. The conch isn’t tough or chewy and tastes like they just plucked it straight from the sea. Even their hot sauces are special: made locally and featuring tropical fruits. This is a to-go restaurant—there’s no seating inside—but you’ll be digging into your order before you even get to the door." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo

"If Miami had an official mollusk, it would be the conch. Not only does it have a pretty deep historical significance to Miami (it’s the number one culinary contribution from the Bahamian immigrants that literally built Miami) but it’s also just delicious. And Conch Town USA is one of the best and most classic places to get some. Every preparation of conch here is exceptional—from their conch fritters and fried conch to their spicy conch salad that’s the perfect post-beach snack. The conch isn’t tough or chewy and tastes like they just plucked it straight from the sea. Even their hot sauces are special: made locally and featuring tropical fruits. This is a to-go restaurant—there’s no seating inside—but you’ll be digging into your order before you get to the door." - Carlos C Olaechea
