Bahamian salad normally would be made with the freshest conch pronounced “Konk” you could find. I couldn’t get any conch so I used a can of California Girl pulpo which is made from calamari, found in the supermarket near the canned tuna and such. I thought the texture would be very similar to conch and it did not disappoint. This is a delicious little appetizer that I will make often.
