I was out this morning and saw a family collecting konchs. Not the big ones but a whole bunch of little like 3" ones. they said you can boil them and eat them. Are they safe to eat? I know you can get konch fritters at some resturants nut not sure if they are the same. Is there a time of year not to eat them like with oysters and stuff?
Don't know if this helps or not.

thanks. after reading the regs it looks like it is illeagle to take them. It says the Queen conch but not sure if there is a difference
Conch......Hermit crab sounds like dinner might be a surprise!
no they were not hermit crabs. they just looked like really big snails. From what I read about conchs they start small and grow. I dont know but probably not worth the hassle. Next time I go out I will find some and take a picture.
