    If I buy conch at the fish market out of the shell, is it precooked?

    Only the fishmonger will know if it's cooked, raw, frozen or thawed from frozen.

  • Question
    Can I refreeze conch?
    Michele
    Top Answerer
    No. Most raw fish should not be refrozen, and conch is no exception. Do not refreeze, but cook and consume seafood products immediately. Leftovers can be frozen, but depending on how they were cooked, may lose some flavor once thawed.

    I live in south Texas and I just bought 6 conch from a local trawler fisherman. Are these safe for consumption?

    Community Answer
    As long as they are fresh. Next time you should ask the fisherman when he or she caught the conch.

    I bought conch uncooked from the supermarket and have it in my freezer. Is it safe to eat?

    Yes, it is safe to eat. If you are not cooking the conch right away, the safe thing to do is freeze it.

  • Question
    Is conch similar to scungilli?
    Michele
    Top Answerer
    No. Conch is a shellfish, while scungilli is squid. But don't let that put you off, both are delicious.

    Does conch have a bad odor when cooking? The conch I purchased had a strong odor.
    Community Answer
    If your conch has a bad odor, that means it is not fresh.

  • Question
    I purchased a 29 oz of sliced conch. I plan on making a salad with it. Should I cook it first, or just use it out of the can?
    Community Answer
    It is already cooked, just drain it. It is good with garlic, lemon, olive oil and parsley.
