      @@spacebabyksworld It's hard to explain the taste unless you've grown up here but if I could connect it with some well-known flavors I would say the rice tastes similar to really high-quality Sushi rice with a mild tamarind/soy sauce flavor with a mix of Caribbean spices. That's the best way I can describe it. You have to come and taste it for yourself.

    My girlfriend and I went on a cruise and stopped in Nassau. I watched the video and just had to try his food. We got a fried snapper, conch salad and the fritters. PHENOMENAL is simply an understatement. Service was fantastic and Mr. McKenzie was a true gentleman. Managed to get a photo after our meal. Cannot wait to return!

      It's very common in the Caribbean for men to be able to take care of themselves so their wives can't starve them or leave them helpless in their own home. At least that was my grandmother's logic for teaching her 10 boys everything her 4 girls would. My grandfathers, great grandfathers, Dad, brothers, uncles and cousins can all get by or run a kitchen for big and small meals if they need to. Anyone who doesn't cook in my family doesn't like the work or have a partner that's the better cook.

    I don’t know who need to hear this but conch is f*ckin amazing! I’ve been eating conch since I was a baby, at least that’s what my mom told me.. conch fritters, grilled conch, conch soup, conch salad, and my absolute favorite curried conch! If you haven’t had conch yet, get your life! You are missing out, I promise you it is amazing, and yes it doesn’t taste like anything else except what it is and in my opinion it is not an acquired taste, it’s just simply delicious. I am from the tiny island of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
