Seafood market to buy conch (meat)

[waterbabyfish]

I love conch and was wondering if there is a market somewhere, where you can buy fresh conch? I don't want it cooked. And does anyone know how much per pound it was?

you try to take it home. The ship wouldn't be allowed to cook it and I doubt it would last to take home. You would be better off to look for it online. We find it in many fish markets in Florida.

I was told that if you buy it and it is shrink wrap you can give it to the kitchen and they will put it in the freezer for you.This is on HAL. I can't find it at a reasonable price in FL , grew up there! Several years ago, found some at $18 lb!

will you be able to take it off the ship through customs?

One thing the page states no meat, vegetables or plans is allowed to be taken off the ship.

Try up West Road from the cruise center. Or walk up the beach to Local Seafood and ask Arthur where you can buy it.

Do understand the Customs regs and declare it on your form. I believe frozen for personal use is permitted, so don't buy a ton of it.

Are there restrictions for importing seafood (lobster, shrimp, fish, caviar, etc.) for personal use?

The importation of seafood is governed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS). Personal quantities of seafood not intended for commercial consumption are not subject to approval by the FDA. Most personal quantities of seafood are admissible, with the exception of endangered species which are subject to restrictions by the FWS.
For instance, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has been authorized by FWS to allow travelers to bring in only 125 grams of caviar. If the traveler has more than that quantity, the goods will be subject to seizure.
Please contact the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service at 1-800-358-2104 and U.S. Food and Drug Administration at 1-888-463-6332 to ensure that the seafood you intend to import is not subject to any restrictions.
