Conch in Calgary supermarkets

I've never seen conch available in any supermarkets here in Calgary. But I've never specifically looked for it either. I surmise that I'm not going to find it at Safeway or Co-op, but has anyone seen it other places? T&T perhaps?

      I doubt T&T would carry it (?). but i would try calling the jamacian/carib stores... there's one on edmonton trail.

      also, I do recall seeing canned conch somewhere, but I don't remember where and i often visit groceries when I travel, so it could've been anywhere in the world HAHAH

        I would absolutely expect T&T to carry it. Conch isn't popular in Jamaica. It IS popular in parts of Asia. If not T&T then try other Asian markets.

          Thanks folks. I put a call into Boyd's and he's going to check if any suppliers in town has any for me. Hope so...I'm *really* craving ceviche de caracol del mar!
