Cook the national dish of the Bahamas with this recipe for cracked conch.

This Bahamian favorite is easy to make, using simple ingredients you likely already have in your fridge and pantry. And while the word “cake” conjures up visions of a rich dessert, Johnny Cake is actually more akin to bread – think cornbread or another dense loaf you might eat as a side dish.

There’s nothing quite like the warm, pillowy goodness of a thick slice of homemade bread. Bearing a sweetness that store-bought varieties can never compare to, homemade bread in The Bahamas is versatile and delicious and at home we appreciate nothing more than a fresh loaf of Island Sweet Bread. Often infused with delicate coconut shreds …

With temperatures dropping to a sweater-worthy 75° here in The Bahamas, many a kitchen will begin to exude the aromas of cherished winter soups and stews to stave off chilly ocean breezes. For most of us though, it is Bahamian Peas and Dumpling the soup that is most sought after at this time of year …

Conch is the national food of the Bahamas. Most people will recognize the large Conch shells as a symbol of the Caribbean. Sailors often use the shells as a sort of trumpet to announce the day's fresh catch. However good the shell is, the meat from the snail that used to inhabit it is delicious.Conch meat is known for its unique chewy texture and its fresh, salty, ocean-like flavor. In the Bahamas, there are many ways to cook conch, but here we will highlight a favorite conch finger food, Traditional Bahamian Conch Fritters.The conch meat is mixed into a batter with fresh herbs and seasonings and fried into delightful bite-sized mouthfuls perfect for dipping into any of your favorite seafood sauces.Note: If you cannot find tenderized conch, use a meat mallet or rolling pin to tenderize the conch meat by pounding it until tender.

The first Snapper I cooked for lunch today was a hit but it only fed 3 people. My husband had a bite of mine. He didn't mind not having any since he just ate the left over food from last night. I told him I will make it up to him but I really didn't want to cook the second Snapper the same. My husband is half Jamaican and so I thought I'll prepare the fish adapting a recipe from the islands. This recipe was adapted from the cook book Taming the Flame and I made some substitution so I can use some of my own spices and I broiled instead of grilling because I do not own a grill - YET! I'm sure one of these days, I will make a stop at a store a get one! Summer time is just around the corner and I know it's going to happen. Ingredients: 1 whole Red Snapper (about 2 lbs) scaled, cleaned and rinsed well 1 teaspoon red chile flakes 1/4 cup vegetable oil Celery Salt Black ground pepper 2 cloves garlic, crushed and thinly sliced 2 lemons, sliced in rounds 6 green onions cut lengthwise about 2 inches 1 lemon, cut into wedges for garnish Turn the oven to broil. Put the chile flakes and oil in a small saucepan. Slowly heat the oil until the chile flakes begin to change color athen turn it off and set aside.With a sharp knife, cut 2 to 3 diagonal slashes on both sides of the fish. This will hold the garlic and lemons and help to evenly cook the fish. Place the slices of garlic and lemon in each of the diagonal cuts. Put the garlic in first and then the lemon slices, letting some of the lemon "peek" out from the slit. Sprinkle the celery salt and black pepper inside the cavity of the fish and on both sides. Then stuff the cavity with green onions. Grease a deep baking pan and carefully place the fish in the center. Slowly pour the pepper oil with a spoon on each side of the fish. Broil each side for 20 minutes. After one side is cooked for 20 mins, carefully turn the fish and broil for another 20 minutes. Serve with rice and favorite vegetables. Here is what it looks like before broiling.

Every year my husband and I make an effort to take one trip for a family vacation. Back in February we saved up enough $$$$ to travel to my sisters home in the BAHAMAS! It was a wonderful few days (read about it here). Ever since our Bahamian experience I use avocados, lime, fresh cilantro, and butter like it's my job. Seriously, Bahamians know how to cook. When I heard what we'd be having for breakfast one morning (corn beef & grits) I cringed. I never thought of myself as a grits fan and I sure as heck wasn't confident in corn beef. BUT I absolutely fell in LOVE with this recipe, trust me, you will as well. Bahamian Fire Engine Recipe Ingredients: 1/2 cup chopped onion 1 green or red pepper Juice from 2 limes 2 tbsp butter 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes 1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce 1 can corned beef 1/2 cup fresh cilantro 1 tbsp thyme Instructions: Melt 1 tbsp of butter in pan Sauté onion, cilantro and green pepper Add corn beef, lime juice, tomatoes and sauce, top with thyme Let simmer till hot Serve with buttery, cheesy grits (cooked according to package directions), avocado, and Johnny Cake. Enjoy! This is the last of my Bahamian recipe's, I hope you enjoy them as much as we do! Boiled Fish Johnny Cake Smudder Fish

We’ve taken a traditional seafood chowder recipe and added conch, the national food of The Bahamas, as well as creamy coconut milk. The result is a rich, satisfying chowder bursting with delicious flavors.

Whether you pronounce it “konk” or “conch”, this oceanic delight is a treasured staple throughout Bahamian cuisine — often prepared in a variety of ways using various methods. The large sea snail is a delicacy, most notably known to be eaten raw in salads or cooked in fritters and chowders. Its taste and texture resembles that of calamari, especially when fried. Nonetheless, one such way that happens to be my favorite is conch chowder. A slow simmered tomato-based soup, with a medley of root veg
