‘CONCH CENTRAL’ AT SANDY POINT, ABACO
The serious conch action in Sandy Point is to be found at the jetty. I learned a simple beginner’s lesson on our first visit to Abaco. If you choose a large gorgeous-hued conch from the huge pile in the 4th photo to take back home, it will quickly start to smell dodgy, followed by evil… until you clean it properly!
If Danny is not available, you can put it in the freezer…the animal will be easy to remove after a few days.

Another good tip, Brigitte. Best wait for Danny to get back though – freezers not generally so cheerful…

And the best way to get it clean and unsmelly is to put it upsidedown in a spot you can’t smell and let the ants gnaw away at it for a few weeks. Cleaning it with bleach or leaving it out in the sun fades the color.

Valuable advice Janene, but impractical if you are (e.g.) flying in 3 days! I asked ‘Danny’, who magicked it clean in 5 minutes… rh
