One of the most famous local cuisines of the Bahamas is Conch. Conch is a firm, white meat found in ocean mollusk. Often called ‘Fresh, Sexy Conch’ the meat is thought to be an aphrodisiac. Every part of it is edible, but most people only enjoy the white meat. Anyone who’s seen ‘Lord of the Flies’ knows that you can create a wind instrument by cutting a small hole in the conch’s spire, so make your self a Conch Salad and play some music to create your own Bahamian paradise.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 pounds conch
1/4 cup cucumber, diced
1/4 cup celery, diced
1/4 cup red onion, diced
1/4 cup red bell pepper, diced
1 small tomato, seeded and diced
1 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
1 tablespoon Matouk’s hot sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves, chopped
Lightly pound conch. Dice into 1/2-inch pieces. Toss conch with remaining ingredients and let sit at least 1 hour in refrigerator. Serve over fresh mixed greens with a wedge of lime.
Day 6: Bahama Mama: Sunken Ship and Tasty Sip
August 2, 2009 at 0UTC | Posted in Uncategorized | Leave a commentTags: Bahama Mama, Bahamas, Bay Street, dives, marine life, sunken ships, tropical reefs
The coast of the Bahamas offers many scenic dives of tropical reefs and vast marine life. But if you dive down 50 feet off the southwest coast of Nassau, you will find a sunken ship. The Bahama Mama, a 110-foot “party boat” that wrecked in 1995, provides an interesting and historic dive. While viewing the remnants of the wreckage, you may also venture nearby to view the gorgeous coral reef and large green moray.
After a long-days dive, sink yourself into a comfy chair and sip on a more fortunate Bahama Mama in one of the many restaurants and bars on Bay Street.
Day 7: Subs n Suds

Seaworld Explorer offers non-divers a chance to get up close and personal with coral reef in the Bahamas. A catamaran will cruise you out to Sea Gardens Marine Park where you will board a “semi-submarine.” The vessel never fully submerges, but passengers hang out in the lower hull observation area to observe some awesome underwater views.
Then wash up on the beach to Cocktails and Dreams, the only beachfront bar in Nassau. The music varies from night to night, but everyone is always dancing.
