Providenciales, 01 Dec 2014 – Rainy weather kept many away from the Turks and Caicos Conch Festival; but those who turned up say it was one of the best stagings of the 11 year old festival held at Three Queen’s in Blue Hills. Steel pan drumming, live island music and a conch-e-tition challenge to name best conch salad, best conch chowder and best conch specialty dish was fierce. Bay Bistro were returned as best overall restaurant after a two year dethroning. New comer’s Kalooki’s in Blue Hills took best conch chowder; Best Conch salad went to the TCI Community College; Mr. Grouper got two prizes including Best Conch Specialty dish and winner of the $10,000 Rotary Pot of Gold cash prize was Matthew Redman of Provo.
