I find the stewed conch at the Lolos is merely good, and there are better places to eat conch. But, if you don't have a lot of time, their conch will satisfy the urge.
My top three places for conch/ceviche are: L' Escargot has an excellent conch salad, but it is pricey at over $20. The also do a mean conch chowder, that is more bisque-like and has lots of minced conch; Villa Royale does a good job with tempura style conch, and their mahi mahi tartar is especially tasty; And, Yvettes for sure, but my favorite conch dish is stewed conch with dumplings.

You mean right after you caught the ferry back to the dock, got in your car and drove to a Gendarmere and learned to speak French or found a bi-lingual Gendarme? It's not like there is anyone on Pinel to speak to about the illegal taking of conch....

Or let one of the business owners know about it because I'm sure they have phones or other ways of contacting the authorities. The gendarmes do patrol some beaches.

Do you mean it was expensive, or was their something about the preparation that was unpleasant? I love ceviche, and since we stay at La Vista, I was considering trying theirs.
