Being provided with resources coming from nature is a very beneficial privilege. If you think of it, when you cultivate natural resources, there is no need for you to spend a big amount of money to start a business, and that is the advantage. All you need to do is exert some effort in order to grow or cultivate what is given to you by nature.

In Caicos Islands, you will be able to make out a farm of this specie. There is actually an abundant supply of conch shells in this area that is why this has become a prime dish. Not to mention, it has a very delectable taste that is why people love it. Due to this, Caicos conch farm has become very productive with its business.

So speaking, its prime significance is its contribution as a delectable dish served during meal.

The meat of chonches are usually eaten raw in salads. That is basically because the family of shells has a sweet and lasting taste. That is why if you notice when someone is cooking a shell recipe for the meal, they no longer put some seasoning, and so do other recipes. But then it would still work if one puts a seasoning.

Basically, you will find a lot of recipes featuring this as the main ingredient. In the East Asian cuisine, the conches are cut into thin slices and then they are either steamed or stir fried. While in the West Indies particularly in the Turks and Caicos Islands, the locals take delight in conch soups which they call callaloo as well as salads and many more.

But other than the meat of this specie, its shell also has a number of purposes. One of them is its use as a musical instrument. It is actually made into a wind instrument resembling that of a trumpet. It is prepared by cutting a hole in the spire near the apex. This way, you can blow into the shell as if playing a trumpet.

Aside from that, it can also be used for decoration. So speaking, the shells of conches are actually gorgeous. They can qualify of any exquisite artistic decoration for homes. If you notice in the markets where these craft are sold, you will see a variety made from shell. This way, your home will look less plain and boring.

Aside from that, you can also get a valuable pearl accessory out from its dirt. But with this specie, only the S. Gigas produces this. And there are many more uses which this material has to offer. That is why in Caicos, there are so many farms devoted to rearing conches due to the good income it will serve them later on.

So if you ever get to tour in the Islands of Caicos, you can bring some of their local shell craft home as your souvenir. Also, do not miss their specialty recipes.
