Yes, it's an out of season bug. We were sitting on the back of the boat when the fellow from the boat anchored beside us came over and asked if we had any conch and that he wanted to trade if we had any. We said yes and we traded. It was after the fact that we remembered it was out of season. At that point we didn't see the wisdom of throwing it back and we ate it. It doesn't change how we feel about the Bahamas and we do follow the law. We were just caught up in the moment and didn't figure out the dates.
