The Conch King of the Bahamas | Street Food Icons

Kenneth McKenzie runs McKenzie’s Fresh Fish and Conch Shack, a popular oceanfront seafood shack set on the pristine waters of Nassau, Bahamas. Kenneth, who learned to cook as a child, serves up shrimp, lobster, and snapper, but the star menu item is fresh conch pulled right out of the water. Conch, large native sea snails, are prepared in fritters, fried in rice, and served in cold salads with hot peppers, diced vegetables, and soaked in citrus juice. McKenzie’s Fresh Fish and Conch has grown from one table to a thriving seafood destination and Kenneth feels grateful his career has kept him on a path toward success.
