Depending on the conch you have to tenderize it by beating it with a mallet.

De rien Just passing on something I learned from a Jamaican gourmand in Miami. She would ask her conch supplier to put the cleaned conch meat two times through some kind of pressing machine which tenderizes the conch. Normally the supplier would do this once but my friend insists on twice! She makes an amazing conch stew that is quite tender

The conch came out nice and tender and the soup was savory! Thanks again!
