Conch belongs to the mollusc gastropod class, Mollusca phylum. Shellfish are mainly divided into five categories, with more than 70,000 species in the world. The marine species can be collectively called conches.
The edge of the conch shell is slightly square, large and thick, with a shell height of about 10 cm and 6 levels of conch layers. It is rich in protein, vitamins, essential amino acids and trace elements. It is a typical natural animal food with high protein, low fat and high calcium.
The conch tail is not meat, but internal organs. There is sand and intestines in it. Many people choose not to eat the tail of conch. In fact, the tail of conch is the excretion part of the conch, which contains impurities and has relatively high cholesterol. The white part below the top of the conch, which is the conch brain, secretes paralyzing shellfish toxins, which are heat- and acid-resistant and difficult to destroy. Therefore, when eating conch, it is best to eat both parts.
