How do you clean the conch shell for the shell not the conch?

In: Hobbies & Collectibles [Edit categories]

Answer:

if it is "fresh", put it in a plastic bag,tie it loosely and keep it outside.depending on temp. it should be clean in aweek.maggots are wonderful creatures! {this happened to me by accident} you can also boil them,ive been told.

I would not use this method! It stinks and you waste the conch! Stick the whole shell with creature in a freezer for a day or two then remove to thaw. Once it has thawed a decent amount you can then grab the foot of the creature inside the shell and pull him from the shell. You now have a shell that is not damaged a thawed conch ready to be cleaned and made into dinner!
