This information is off the internet.
Conch fritters, however, unlike the recipe and background information are unavailable on the internet. They are standard street food, and available in many small cafes, like Shrimp Po-boys are available in Louisiana It's a little like a breaded version of abalone or fried razor clams well tenderized. If you want more ideas, and background , use Google. These came up with the simple heading of your question, word for word, except of course for the personal comment about street food. (your question is there too, number 1 on the list.) Just Google "famous recipes from the Bahamas"
Country: Bahamas
INGREDIENTS:
* 6 conchs
* 1 large onion, thyme
* 2 1/2 cup flour
* 1/2 scotch bonnet pepper
* Salt to taste
METHOD / DIRECTIONS:
Chop conch and onion in a food processor; put in a bowl with other ingredients and water to form a soft spoonable mixture. Fry by dropfuls in hot oil.
A conch (pronounced as "konk" or "konch", IPA: /?k??k/ or /?k?nt?/)[1] is one of a number of different species of medium-sized to large saltwater snails or their shells. True conchs are marine gastropod mollusks in the family Strombidae, and the genus Strombus.
The name "conch" however, is often quite loosely applied in English-speaking countries to several kinds of very large sea snail shells which are pointed at both ends, i.e. shells which have a high spire and a noticeable siphonal canal. Other species often called a "conch" include the crown conch Melongena species; the horse conch Pleuroploca gigantea; and the sacred chank or more correctly Shankha shell, Turbinella pyrum. None of these are in the family Strombidae, they are all in other taxonomic families.
The true conch species within the genus Strombus vary in size from fairly small to very large. Several of the larger species such as Strombus gigas, the pink conch or queen conch, are economically important as food sources. Strombus gigas is also capable of producing (very rarely) a pink, gem quality pearl.
At least 65 species of Strombidae are extinct, and a much larger number of species exist only in the fossil record. Of the living species, most are in the Indo-Pacific Oceans. Six species live in the greater Caribbean region, including the Queen Conch, Strombus gigas, and the West Indian Fighting Conch, Strombus pugilis.
Many species of conch, such as the Queen Conch, live on sandy bottoms among beds of sea grass in warm tropical waters.

What would be the hurricane season for Orlando Florida and Nassau Bahamas?
I am thinking about cruising in September however wanted to know some information about hurricane season around this period of time. Thanks.
Would it be a bad idea to book a cruise for September?
Would the cruise line reroute in case of a hurrcane or what would happen?
Hurricane season is June 1 through December 1.
The cruise lines take every precaution against a hurricane. In some cases they will cancel the cruise, if they feel it is needed. But, if you are at sea, the captain and crew constantly monitor the weather (this is true for any cruise) If they see a storm they will navigate around it. Many, many cruises sail each year during hurricane season, they have to be extremely careful during this time of year, as with any other time of the year, to make sure that the passengers are safe.
I've been on cruises during hurricane season and never really had any problems. A few years ago when there were a lot of hurricanes, we ended up sailing longer and we had to return to a different home port because we couldn't dock at the original port. Everyone was completely safe, and I never felt like I was at danger.
A couple of things to consider when going during hurricane season. First, if you are really wanting to visit a specific port, you may consider going at a time other than hurricane season. In some cases, when there is a hurricane and they have to navigate around a storm, they may not be able to visit the original ports they had planned. Second, if you are worried about having sea sickness while onboard, hurricane season may not be the best time to go. If there would be a bad storm, you are going to have a lot of big waves and that is when most people have problems on cruises. The rest of the year, you are pretty safe for avoiding higher seas, but there is a chance. For example, during the winter months, you are more likely to get a rocky cruise because of the cold fronts causing storms. Finally, if you choose to go during hurricane season, you must get the travel protection. You never know what could happen and you want to be covered. It will protect you for a lot of things some people don't even think about. If your plane is late, the insurance will cover any costs if you miss the ship, etc. But, it will also cover you if you get sick, it costs $25,000 if you have to be taken off of the ship by the coast guard because you get sick. But the insurance is a must for hurricane season, I feel it is really important to have for any cruise, but especially during a season as unpredictable as hurricane season.
I sail all the time during the hurricane season, the cruise line is going to take good care of you and they won't do anything that could potentially put you in danger. The biggest benefit to sailing during this time is the price of the cruise, you won't find rates lower than these couple of months.
I hope this helps!
