Bahamar Project

Bahamar is a one of the largest projects the Bahamas has had in its history. The development of a large hotel  is being constructed by China. It is scheduled to be completed by December 2014. The project so far seems to being going as planned, by the looks of the infrastructure at this time , the project seems is if it may be ready before the scheduled date.

The Conch

For those unfamiliar with Conch, it is a sea snail (it sounds disgusting I know, but trust me its delicious!).The conch although is found in some other parts of the world such as Florida, it is popular in the Bahamas and apart of many native dishes.

There are several different ways it can be prepared, I will share a few

Conch Salad

It is made of the raw conch diced with tomatoes, sweet-pepper, lime, pepper and other juices.Conch salad is my personal favorite!

This is prepared by dicing the conch, and forming a doughy mixture with flour,egg, milk and others and 

then it is deep fried
