Conch is different in size, variety, shell thickness and cooking time. The big conch should be cooked for 10 to 15 minutes, and the small and medium conch should be cooked for 3 to 5 minutes. In order to prevent the infection of bacteria and parasites, snail meat must be cooked thoroughly. Generally, it is better to cook for 10 minutes or more before eating. During cooking, the head of conch should be removed.
Boiled conch is also the most common. Boiling conch will make the meat tender and taste more delicious. Boil the conch with cold water, because if the water is boiled and then put into the conch, the conch will suddenly come into contact with hot steam, and the meat will shrink to the end of the conch quickly, which makes the cooked conch hard and difficult to pick out.
Matters needing attention
1. When eating conch, remove the yellow things at the end of conch. It is the internal organs of conch, mainly the intestines of conch, and it is the excretory part of conch. Eating too much cholesterol in this place is not good for your health. You'd better get rid of it when you eat it.
2. The gall bladder of conch is located in the green area on the back of conch, and it will be bitter if it is not removed.
3. In the conch head, there are two things commonly known as "conch brain", like two small spherical things. This thing will make you dizzy and sick if you eat too much, so you must remove it when you eat it.
