Other forms: scungilli
If you're a fan of seafood like clams and calamari, you'll probably like scungille, which is the chewy meat of a conch.
Sometimes scungille is used to mean the edible part of a mollusk, but it most often refers to conch meat. The conch has a large, distinctive spiral shell, and it's commonly eaten in many places including the West Indies and Puerto Rico. In Italy, where it's a popular ingredient in pasta and salads, it's called scungille, or its plural form, scungilli. The word derives from conchiglia, or "seashell."
