Steps:
- Shellfish Cream: Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the scotch bonnet, shallots, and garlic. Stir. Let the vegetables flavor the oil (about 1 minute). Now add the clams, mussels, star anise, and black pepper. Stir. Now add the orange juice and cover the pot. Remove the clams and mussels as they open to a colander set over a bowl to catch the liquid (they start opening after about 3 minutes, just take them out as they open and cover the pot again and just keep checking for more open ones.) Reserve the shellfish and add the juices back to the pan.
- Allow the orange and shellfish juice to reduce, uncovered, until about 1 cup of liquid remains, about 10 minutes. Now add in the saffron, heavy cream, and coconut milk. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Be careful, cream can boil over in a split seconds. Reduce the cream until it will just barely coat the back of a spoon, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and strain. Discard the solids. Reserve the flavored cream.
- While the cream is reducing, removed the cooled mussels and clams from their shells. Reserve the meat and discard the shells.
- Vegetable Garnish: Put potatoes in a saucepot of lightly salted water. Bring to a boil and turn down heat and simmer until just done. Strain off the water. Reserve the potatoes.
- In a large heavy soup pot cook the bacon with the olive oil over medium-high heat until the bacon is halfway cooked. Add the butter and stir. Add the garlic and chiles and stir briefly. Add the rest of the vegetables except the potatoes and stir to coat. Add the salt and pepper, cilantro, and bay leaf. Cook until the vegetables are cooked, but still firm, about 8 minutes.
- Add the reserved potatoes, saffron cream, clams and mussels.
- Conch: Season the conch with salt and pepper. Dredge the conch in the flour, then the egg mixture, and then the panko. Place on a large plate or pan as they are coated. You can layer them if you separate the breaded pieces with waxed paper or plastic wrap.
- To finish the dish: Heat the soup until quite warm. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add enough canola oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Saute the conch, in batches, adding more oil as necessary, until nicely colored on both sides. Remove to a paper towel lined plate. Once the conch is all cooked, chop it into pieces. Ladle the soup into warm bowls and scatter the cooked conch over the soup. Garnish with orange sections, cilantro leaves, and toasted coconut.
NORMAN'S CREAMY CONCH CHOWDER WITH SAFFRON AND TOASTED COCONUT
Steps:
- In a large pot, render the bacon with olive oil. When the bacon is rendered, add the jalapenos, onions, celery, carrots, green peppers, yellow peppers, and banana peppers. Add the crushed red pepper and season with salt and pepper. Add the potatoes, tomatoes and tomato puree. Reduce the heat and add the bay leaves. Tie the fresh herbs in cheese cloth and add to the pot. Whisk in the fish stock, clam juice, and cream. Bring up to the boil and reduce to a simmer. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork tender. Whisk in conch and saffron. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Ladle into a shallow bowl and garnish with coconut and chives and Tabasco.
BAHAMIAN CONCH CHOWDER
Steps:
- In a very large soup pot or Dutch oven, cook the bacon with olive oil over medium heat. When bacon is almost cooked, add garlic and jalapenos and cook for 30 seconds. Raise the heat to medium-high and add the onion, celery, carrots, fennel, and bell peppers. Add herbs, bay leaves, and crushed red pepper.
- Add the crushed tomatoes and tomato sauce. Bring to a simmer and reduce heat. Add the stock, stir in the ground conch and potatoes and bring to a simmer. Add hot red pepper sauce, to taste, and simmer for 10 minutes, then serve, or chill for later use.
COCONUT COD CHOWDER
This herb-laced chowder gets its silky texture and nutty flavor from coconut milk, a plant-based substitute for the more traditional heavy cream used in many chowders. Cannellini beans are a protein-rich swap for potatoes that offer a creamy, satisfying bite.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a Dutch oven or large saucepan over medium heat until glistening. Add the celery, onion, garlic and a generous pinch each of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened but not browned, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Add the clam juice and coconut milk and bring just to a simmer. Add the cod and beans, then cover and simmer over low heat until the fish is just cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Add the tomatoes and lemon juice; let stand for 1 minute. Gently stir in the dill, parsley and scallions and season with salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls and serve, passing additional herbs and crushed red pepper, if using, at the table.
COCONUT CLAM CHOWDER
We all love an amazing clam chowder. Thanks to coconut milk instead of the usual cream, this version of the New England classic gets a Caribbean touch.

Steps:
- Melt the butter over medium-low heat in a heavy-bottomed large saucepan. Add the flour and whisk until completely incorporated. Cook, whisking continuously, until the mixture turns from white to blond, about 5 minutes.
- Add the onions, celery and bell pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the thyme and bay leaf and cook 1 minute more.
- Add the broth and bring to a boil. Stir in the white potatoes and white sweet potatoes and let the liquid return to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low so the liquid simmers and cook until the potatoes begin to soften, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Stir in the clams and coconut milk. If using frozen and canned clams, add the frozen first, then allow the soup to simmer again before adding the canned clams. Bring the soup back to a simmer and add salt and pepper to taste. Remove from the heat, discard the bay leaf and garnish with parsley.
CONCH CHOWDER
I used to make this chowder when I lived in Florida where it was easy to get conch, however large clams (shelled) will also work. Recipe source: Bon Appetit (January 1983)
