Large Seashells
The Strombidae
are the true conchs, pronounced "konks." These are mostly
medium to large, thick shells with conical spire. The genera
vary considerably in form, but all have a large body whorl.
The Strombus move rapidly with a leaping motion. For those
of you who haven't explored the Florida Keys, then you have
missed out. Conchs are used for making delicious stews and
soups. Finish off a big bowl, then enjoy a big slice of Key
Lime Pie. That's living! Some of the species we offer are
large and showy. Perfect for decorating.
