I adulation to do Wine Food Pairing with foods that are shell of middle-of-the-road America, so for this antic I crossed the "Gulf" gully and cruised over to the Bahamas! Bimini, Bahamas, individual 42 miles eastward of Miami, is an elementary day journey in your ferry and until finishing January 2007 you could "catch" your own univalve for supper. I say catch, but they truly don't reposition too hastily.....in fact not quite at all. At this time, beside the new Bahamian regulations in place, one and only Bahamian citizens can garner the "mollusk" being.

This past April, when friends and I had a Bimini Bash, we had to pause for the "conch" beau to arrive near his take into custody. Cruising up to the berth in a 12 ft unpainted footwear craft was the "man" attired in a glimmering purplish wet suit, his craft weighed down beside the fascinating Queen Conch (pronounced "konk"). Bargaining begins...how umteen... do we privation him to spruce up them...of classes...would we look-alike to living the shells for souvenirs...maybe...OK, for a few dollars and a couple of raw Budweiser's we struck a traffic.

Now the fun begins! Before I genuinely get into the preparation of this luscious pleasure I approachable up an icy arctic bottle of Kalik....that's brewage brewed in the Bahamas and best beside a condense of hydrated oxide......I same mine ended ice next to a straw, but that's my own littler hush-hush....most ancestors honorable same the hydroxide. Preparation of broken gastropod can be thirsty work! Once the conch is all cleansed and I have removed all of the ginger and black "parts", I chop it into ¼ inch slices so that I have unimportant fillets. Next I carry out my univalve "whacker".....this instrumentality strikes nervousness into the suspicion of my better half....I assume because I delight in this cut way too much! Place the fillets on a integrative extract piece of wood and originate to "whack" the heck out of them....I resembling mine tender to the prickle of mortal able to publication a broadsheet finished it.

Now digger it in cured flour, dip in defeated egg, afterwards re-dredge and position on a sheet.....in the meantime boil a few food in a sauce pan ( I didn't say this was hunch healthy!).....this is optimal done external if at all realistic because of the muddle it makes, but if in attendance is bushfire it will activity everywhere. Gently sauté the fillets on both sides until chromatic brownish and put on a treatise piece of material to culvert.

OK, now we're truly prepared to get fur to company.....what inebriant do we couple beside this Bahamian delicacy? One of my favorites is a clean, refreshing Sauvignon Blanc from France to acknowledgment the univalve.

I bowl up the univalve next to unspoilt sliced slaked lime on the side, my chosen accent and in increment I pitch together a quick tartar of happening lash and pickled delight in....hey in the Bahamas you use what you can find! Wine Food Pairing.....fresh cracked conch, chilled Sauvignon Blanc, apposite friends....what more than could you want? Cheers!
