Conch! ... and lots of it! I used to go to a place by the same owner about 10 years ago in the northern part of the county, and never realized that he had moved to this location just off 36st. So, what an amazing find to discover Conch Town!
I grew up eating fresh conch that I used to catch off the flats near stiltsville... long since gone. Then when sailing the Abacos used to dive deep for conch and have it fresh while there. Always a treat. I subsequently have, unfortunately, been spoiled when it comes to conch. I'm almost never happy with the quality or quantity of conch in fritters, chowders, stewed conch, etc.
Well, my disappointment is over! At Conch Town the fried conch is incredible, lightly fried, and very fresh. The stewed conch is very similar to the south Florida style conch chowder I grew up with but can no longer be found.. but thicker as a stew.
The fritters are the flat wide ones like you find in the Bahamas, and are full of conch... no scrimping here!
The owner and staff here are very friendly, so look past the questionable looking neighborhood with assurances that once inside you'll be greeted like family. FYI- there's plenty of street side parking just around the corner to the north of Conch Town. This is pretty much take out only unless you just want to grab a quick bite at the small counter inside.
And, don't forget the sweet potato pie!
