Bahamian Crab N’ Rice,Everyone whose ever heard about the Bahamas thinks about conch. We were once called the conch isles. However, it is little known fact that conch is the most perennial dish, not the the national dish! The most important part of the national dish of the Bahamas. Eaten almost everyday with Steamed Nassau Grouper,coleslaw and fried plaintain especially between the months of June and August. This recipe will prove challenging for those unfamiliar with how to prepare the land crabs…. but it tastes like manna … intensely delectable experience for your tastebuds!,Hi! I just moved to Caye Caulker, Belize, and there are tons of land crabs here that come out to forage at night. Are they the same species? If not, can use these instead>?
