What does CONCH mean in Scrabble?
noun
The large spiral shell of certain marine snails, or the sea creature that lives inside it.
A conch shell is prized for its glossy pink interior and is sometimes blown like a horn to produce a deep, carrying note used in ceremonies and signalling. Coastal communities in the Caribbean and elsewhere also eat the meat of the conch, which is tough and needs careful preparation. Collectors and tourists often pick up conch shells from beaches as souvenirs long after the animal inside has died. The word appears in place names and dishes across the Caribbean, where conch fritters and conch salad are common fare.
