You might drive right by this roadside restaurant/Conch stand but if you do - turn around and go back! We have been going to Cat Island for years and its my husband's ritual to go there the first day and get conch salad - and when he does he orders one for every afternoon for the rest of the time...

Absolutely fresh conch cerviche made to order - can't get any better. If you are lucky, local Alexander is there and will talk about his amazing organic herb garden

Best fresh conch salad, made while you watch, ever ! Relax by the side of the road with that and a cool one, and take in the moment.

What a nice friendly place to go, great people where the locals tend to hang. Did I mention they also sell ice cream!

Delicious!!! Fresh, amazing flavor. Fresh made on the spot. Extra bonus: Derrick washed his hands multiple times while preparing the food, so the man doesn't play with sanitation. Don't let the little cooking shack fool you, he knows how to work it out in there. Don't miss the pumpkin and coconut breads. Food around $5!

We had a bunch of conch salads during our trip to the Bahamas and this one was the best. The locals we talked to affirmed... More
