Taste of the Caribbean is in the mood for a festival today, so we take you to the Turks & Caicos Conch Festival, held each November in the Blue Hills area of Providenciales. There are a variety of events at the festival, but the best is the “Conch-etition,” where area chefs compete for the best of the fest in conch dishes, including conch chowder and conch salad. Above is the entry of Amanyara, which took second place in conch salad in the 2008 contest. Visit the festival, sample the dishes, and vote for your favorite!
This year’s Turks & Caicos Conch Festival will take place on November 30, 2013. For more information on the festival, check out their website here. For photos and stories from our trips to the festival in 2006 and 2008, check out our trip report here!
