McKenzie’s Conch Shack, Marina Village

Conch salad is a staple in The Bahamas. Fresh, light, and flavorful, this concoction of tasty conch and bright, juicy citrus is the perfect lunch to enjoy in the sunshine. The original McKenzie’s, located in Potter’s Cay, is a favorite amongst locals, and the Marina Village location brings this delicious dish to guests of Atlantis Paradise Island.
