Many years ago some colleagues and I staged a unique tasting event in a pal's state-of-the-art kitchen - fresh specimens of five, count 'em five, species of Pleurotomariidae. Sliced raw, fricaseed, fried, stewed - all were pretty much inedible, and one of us was Japanese, which gives you some idea.

Subject: [CONCH-L] favorite mollusk recipes?

External.

Now well into the holiday season, here's a chance to leave taxonomy, ecology and all serious molluscan pursuits aside. The link to a recipe for Oyster and Chipotle Stew is from the Washington Post, and should be accessible even if you don't subscribe. I haven't tried this yet, but it sounds yummy.

Any other Conch-L'ers have a favorite mollusk-based recipe? Maybe time for a COA cookbook?

Cheers! And Happy Holidays!
