I have never had conch but have always wanted to try it. I grew up spending the time between Biloxi and New Orleans and Baton Rouge, and I love seafood. I miss Louisiana but I'd rather live in Florida because of the water - I like the clear emerald green water of the Gulf on the Panhandle. Never been further South than Grayton Beach, and if there is something more beautiful I can't imagine it.

For some reason, people in Louisiana and coastal Mississippi don't make chowder - at least it's not traditional. We took a trip to Nova Scotia a couple of years ago, and had chowder in Maine and in Canada - mighty good. Shrimp, lobster, and scallops. I had always wanted to try codfish cheeks and tongues, so when I saw it on the menu I ordered it - it was OK but not as good as chowder. Chowdah! -g-

When I was a kid every shop in Florida had conch shells for sale. You could wade the flats and pick them up by the dozens. We used them for bait.

I read where they became extinct in Florida and had to be reintroduced.

Howdy Bill, No intrusion, shoot I'm the bottom
man on the totem pole that Ms. CB has graciously let enter. Just jump in and tell us all about the marina and growing up there. Tell me when you post those pictures,
that would be a great tribute to your father and
a part of the flavor many other people will enjoy, and it would give me a great excuse to look up Herb and see if he had business with 'em. Its been a good while and it was stuff I was trying to forget (typical 'ex' thing), but this is under new and better light.

You know its a small world out here and paths cross without knowing. There was a place in Ocala that my ex-wife and me happened upon that boasted the biggest shrimp and prawns in the area,and tried to stop in ever time we had headed down,
got to meet the owner a younger guy that knew very nook and place when it came to fish, shrimp and bars. He use to go to Herb's(her father) bar near Quakertown, PA. before Herb moved down to FLA.

You know if you ask for the lemon pie, Ms.CB has to reach up high and the muscles of her gorgeous legs become taut just like a pin-up picture. Shame she is so modest, but that adds to her mystique.
