conch chowder

Shell seafood stew

Conch chowder is a thick soup made from conch meat, tomatoes, and vegetables, associated with Florida Keys and Caribbean cuisine.

The chewy mollusk is tenderized before cooking.

Unlike New England clam chowder, conch chowder has a tomato base rather than cream: We stopped at a shack in Key West for conch chowder and fritters.
