Bahamas food (yes, more food!)

David's treat of conch salad and Bahamian beer waiting when he returned from States
  As many of you know, we love good food and good drinks.  David has been enjoying the various local Bahama beers, and we both have been enjoying the cheap rum - from a variety of islands in the Caribbean.  One of our favorite foods here is conch.  It is prepared in many ways (conch fritters, cracked conch), but our favorite is conch salad.  Big Daddy Brown in Port Lucaya makes the best we've had.  He chops up fresh conch (caught that morning) with onions, green peppers, tomatoes and lime squirted over it. YUM!  Of course, seafood is fairly common here.  August 1 started lobster season, so we have been hoping to partake of this yummy delicacy.  Yesterday, the captain of a boat we have seen a few times cruising in our harbor came over to see us.  He goes out early in the morning and brings back fresh lobster tails.  So Tara & I decided we would try them - $40 for 12 tails; our families split the bag.  Last night, David seasoned then grilled the tails, and prepared Alfredo sauce with noodles as a side. Everyone agreed it was a very tasty dinner!
