On a more recent snorkeling (hunter-gathering) expedition, I found a large Caribbean King Crab that we boiled for our first crab dinner. Today I brought back 3 large conch (which are legal for harvesting in the Turks and Caicos, long as they are 7 inches long and weigh at least 8 ounces). Conch are more difficult to clean than lobster, crab, or fish in my opinion, and can be an acquired taste. The raw meat (yes, I tried it raw) tastes a little like chewy, under-cooked chicken meat. However, fried and tenderized it's quite good.
Trevor told me that he thinks I am forming a deep bond with the sea and the animals I have been catching, preparing, and eating. Maybe so; maybe I'm just hungry; maybe both. I hope the sea continues to be so generous ... and that I catch some lobster soon.
