Ingredients

1 pound fresh conch
1 ¼ cups lemon juice, divided
1 cup diced tomatoes
½ cup diced onion

¼ teaspoon seasoning blend (such as Badia® Complete Seasoning®), or to taste
1 pinch seasoned salt, or to taste
2 cups tomato juice
¼ cup lime juice

Steps:

Tenderize conch with a meat mallet. Dice into bite-sized chunks. Soak conch in 1 cup lemon juice for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
Drain off lemon juice and place conch in a bowl. Add tomatoes, onion, green pepper, cucumber, seasoning blend, and seasoned salt; mix thoroughly.
Transfer conch mixture to a container. Add remaining 1/4 cup lemon juice, tomato juice, and lime juice; mix well. Stir in vinegar and hot sauce. Refrigerate until flavors combine, about 1 hour. Serve cold.
