- Kenneth McKenzie runs McKenzie’s Fresh Fish and Conch Shack, a popular oceanfront seafood shack set on the pristine waters of Nassau, Bahamas. Kenneth, who learned to cook as a child, serves up shrimp, lobster, and snapper, but the star menu item is fresh conch pulled right out of the water. Conch, large native sea snails, are prepared in fritters, fried in rice, and served in cold salads with hot peppers, diced vegetables, and soaked in citrus juice. McKenzie’s Fresh Fish and Conch has grown from one table to a thriving seafood destination and Kenneth feels grateful his career has kept him on a path toward success.

" I had no gold spoon, I had no silver spoon , I had a plastic spoon, so I appreciate all the moments, I say, better days ahead.".
It hits my mind mental that is just Thank God and appreciate all we have even if small valuables right Senshai it touched me
Much respect.
Hey, I learned that clean hands is better than any man made tool u could use to eat. Just n case u may have an Any allergic to metals or plastic never your hands
@@shirleylavernerosej.120 Hope Mr Conch use or have another chef within their Country practice and use safe cooking tools you are right someone might have a good allergy it is not safe.
"i was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth" - lyrics from the who's 'substitute'
The crazy part is his mom telling him if he don’t learn how to cook and clean, he won’t be able to keep a woman, when majority of society preaches the opposite.
It's big in The Bahamas. Not saying we're not traditional but it means a man should also be able to take care of himself... by extension when need be his family. Most men in The Bahamas cook.
It's very common in the Caribbean for men to be able to take care of themselves so their wives can't starve them or leave them helpless in their own home. At least that was my grandmother's logic for teaching her 10 boys everything her 4 girls would. My grandfathers, great grandfathers, Dad, brothers, uncles and cousins can all get by or run a kitchen for big and small meals if they need to. Anyone who doesn't cook in my family doesn't like the work or have a partner that's the better cook.
A feminista, no cook, no clean just like cardi b.. Entitlement level is beyond 99999999999
@@rok0sbasili5k wtf?
Plus this generation don't cook or clean 🤦.
Something about a brother that cries for a lost brother He's such lovely man.

talking about how that conch spinal cord was an aphrodisiac before slurping it up like a noodle in front of the camera was one of the most powerful things I've ever seen
1:50
I don’t think that’s a spinal cord….
ya i think its the penis
Yes as far as I know it's the conch cock.
Conch is an invertebrate. That ain't no spinal cord 😂
I've eaten a lot of food from Mckenzie over the years and I can tell you that the Rice n Snapper is the best on the island. Always great service. Glad to see he's on Vice. Well deserved.
Ooo what does the rice taste like?
@@spacebabyksworld its like Jambalya but more clean puta
@@spacebabyksworld It's hard to explain the taste unless you've grown up here but if I could connect it with some well-known flavors I would say the rice tastes similar to really high-quality Sushi rice with a mild tamarind/soy sauce flavor with a mix of Caribbean spices. That's the best way I can describe it. You have to come and taste it for yourself.
@selenerium You'll be most welcomed. We are only 50 miles off the US coast if you're there.
Nah the conch salad
My girlfriend and I went on a cruise and stopped in Nassau. I watched the video and just had to try his food. We got a fried snapper, conch salad and the fritters. PHENOMENAL is simply an understatement. Service was fantastic and Mr. McKenzie was a true gentleman. Managed to get a photo after our meal. Cannot wait to return!
I'm going in December I will be going there ❤
What beach ?
I’m beginning to think the Caribbean is the perfect place best food, best beaches and the best music
AGREED🤝🇹🇨
It is!!
It is! 🇧🇸🇧🇸
👀
Hurricanes
I want to buy everything on this guy's menu.
Same here it's so tempting.
As someone who loves mariscos, all that food looks bomb af
Book a trip,thats atlantis in the back ground,cross back over the bridge and youll be near his spot.the best freshest seafood you will ever have.nassau/ paradise or even freeport grand bahama(a lot less touristy) i have family on both and abaco before the hurricane
OMG!!! Me TOOOOOO
Everything at this place is DELICIOUS!!
I believe I went here 7 years ago when it was only enough room for a 2 or 3 people. You had to eat it standing up. Congratulations!
That's sick man.. this place looks so relaxing !!
Thats beautiful
Lies
He’s expanded his little area. Still relatively small but he was able to add more seating for people to chill and have a beer while they wait for their food. He’s a nice guy.
I have never left my home
Fun Fact: They posted this on Bahamian Independence Day
Proud of my bahamian people. 242 or nothing. 🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸❤❤❤❤
You are lucky. I loooove Bahamas ❤❤❤❤
I'm in tha Bahamas now. Im on my way to this spot. Nothing like fresh seafood.
Wow
@@corablue5569 no it’s the Bahamas
@Sumedh Raghavan the food here are awesome. I stayed at the Atlantis,and walk over the bridge to get here. I even orderjust the conch and lobster tail. He sold it raw for me to bring back the hotel to cook myself. I highly recomended Mckenzie. Thank you sir, you made my trip to Bahama awesome. The food in Atlantis suck and so expensive. Just walk 15 min over the bridge, and you get yourself a nice meal. A burger combo cost 24 dollar in Atlantis. A lobster tail, shrimp, and french fry cost 24 dollar at Mckenzie.
@@La__Rat yes the food in Atlantis was tremendously overpriced. I tried to go to Mckenzies in the Marina of Atlantis but they did not have any conch😪. We went to a spot at the Fish Fry and that was so good. I really wanted to try Mckenzies conch salad though. Maybe next time. We had a blast through!
@@SlickNic100 go over the Bridge. The real McKenzie is right at the end of the bridge. Conch salad is 14 dolar which they put about 1.5 or two conch. I bought the raw conch for 4 dollar each and it huge. Raw Lobster tail is 10. I boil it in my hotel and got myself lobster dinner for 20 buck.
He had a dificult life, but he overcame, what a man
Yep, not what they teach you here in America. Here, everybody is a victim and blames everybody else.
@@twerkinalisha7346 and the worst thing is that this dilemma even reflects on the country's politics as well, adding more insult to injury.
Seems to be a reoccurring pattern...first go through very difficult times, then be successful and accomplished later.
@@twerkinalisha7346 Completely agree. I can't stand how everybody just plays the victim card now. I wish we had more Americans like the people in this video. I love the Bahamas everybody is always so nice
I want his foooooddd its looks soooo good. ain't nobody cook like black ppl 🇯🇲🇯🇲✊🏾 Caribbean ppl stand up!!!!
Tasted delicious when I had it over n over..
Nobody Sis, all facts!
🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸
West Indian Taino’s putting in. That work woahhhh🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸
idk I've had some mean middle eastern meals
I'm british and my mum lived in Nassau for a few years 35 years ago. She still sometimes talks about the conch and bahamian food, wonder if it was this guy or his predecessor... seems like he could have touched a lot of people over the years
Been here twice. Conch salad is fire, so is the fried snapper with the rice. Can’t wait to go back
I would have the conch salad for breakfast, lunch and.dinner
Fried fish with alot of lime and seasoning is just fire bruhh
Me too. I miss Bahamas ❤
When he said ppl come here fornthe rice. I believe him. That rice looks banging!!
It's rice calm down
@@donvito5647 that’s no everyday rice
@@donvito5647 you must be fun to be around
Yeah it’s good
@@donvito5647 it’s not just rice
That looks like jollof rice from Ghana. Am definitely coming to Mackenzie's when I visit the Bahamas, for some soul food.

Most of our food are African based. Even down to methods of cooking. It's a must when you come to the Bahamas and the food is quite filling what you will pay $80 for at a high end restaurant you can get better for $14 in the bahamas
@@daquankelly5919 for real. Wooooooow. Awesome
@@daquankelly5919 how can we get Bahamian conch in the US (mid west)? I moved from my hometown Miami and I am mad I can’t find conch.
@@trellonythegenesismoon3334Unfortunately the Midwest doesn’t have a very large Bahamian population so the availability of certain staples is not great.
Favorite part was him telling his story about growing up and always looking at better days to come. He saw the path others took and that wasn’t for him. His story made me smile because his spirit shines so bright. Oh also now I’m hungry for seafood. 😋
I'm so proud of my uncle. May God continue to bless u uncle Kenneth. U deserve this an more. Kendra cuzio I see u girl. U got that conch n rice on lock.
Ayyeeeeeeee let's goooooooo🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸
Too see the hurt In that mans eyes for his brother. So sad.
Bahamians are the most beautiful, resilient and resourceful people living in the most beautiful country on earth! Boy that food looks sooo good, especially the macaroni and cheese. I LOVE my country and my people! 242 FOREVER!!
Cried real tears of joy because I'm so happy for him. He deserves all the good things that happen for him.
Big up to McKenzie from Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹...
Big up Trinidad!! I love Trinidad!!

McKenzie's is fantastic. Kenneth is just as genuine in person, as he is in the video. The food is delicious!
Lucky for you. I'm watching this from Zambia ( southern Africa ) and wondering how I could get there just for that rice, fried fish and conch salad? Wish I had movie-star money. Oh well I guess I'll just be salivating watching this from my couch.
@@morningdew2309 I truly hope you get the opportunity to visit the Bahamas someday. All the best 🙏🏼🎉
I don’t know how this video popped up in my feed but I’m so happy it did! I was just in the Bahamas this week and was pleased with McKenzies conch salad, fritters, plantains and that rice, Mac n cheese is bomb! The food in Nassau is amazing! 🇧🇸❤️💯
Finally a food channel does a proper video of my island people dem from back home in Nassau of our local quisine... Made me a bit home sick but das alright... Nice one
I’d visit this place just to give his restaurant a customer! What an amazing man and amazing story behind his little piece of paradise!
Not to mention how fresh and delicious his food looks! Love me some fried fish and conch fritters!
Also is bad luck eating conch in Hawaii 😂🤙🏾
I did not expect this video to make me cry, but listening to him talk about his brother was tough. That said, this guy is awesome! What an inspiration!
So happy to see Mckenzie's featured on Munchies! His stall has the best food by Potter's Cay Dock. 🇧🇸
I haven’t been in decades - but there is something really special about being in the Nassau, eating this simple but delicious food. I need to get my family down there on a ‘field trip’!
"May your parents live happily for many many more years"
My prayers for all readers.
damn I pray that I live with you darlin for the rest of my life! you cute as heII!
@@verynice1192 🤣🤣🤣
@Fun Travel is that you in the thumbnail? If it is you’re Amazing 😍
When he spoke about his brother, I could see that bothers him.
Yes agreed!! I like him god bless 🙏🏾
He didn't say whether he had passed or not...but it seems, he spoke of him, as tho he had gone "home".😌😔
I feel that moment as he talk about his brother it’s show great sadness and strong love but a change of heart for a better man of leadership role. Good stuff McKenzie love your food 🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸 to the Wurl
We here in the cayman islands are so much like the bahamian neighbors,blessup one love💯💯💯💯💛
Yesss. Much love from The Bahamas 🇧🇸🙌
Big up to the Caribbean Islands 🏝 🇧🇸
I wanna come to Cayman so bad 😩
I don't know how this got in my recommendations, but I totally enjoyed this video. I have to go to this stall. I haven't been to the fish fry in a while. I need to get out of the house. 🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸
He is under the bridge at the first building to the left. My favorite spot, been going there for more years than I can remember.
Lol that is located on the dock 🙃
I live half way across the world and I wanna visit his stall. Great food, inspiring stories, nothing better
In Puerto Rico we call that "Carrucho Salad" Caribbean food is so underrated.
Naww
I wouldn’t say “underrated”.. I’d say undiscovered… I’m West Indian, and my favorite food is by far Jamaican food.. rice and peas and Oxtails with butter beans is my absolute favorite dish in the entire world. Saltfish and ackee with fried bread aka ‘festival’ whooowheee!! I’m hungry now.. it’s too late for this type of talk right now but I’m sure you get the idea.
@@TheNotoriousKID yeah undiscovered is a better term I agree.
Like a ceviche?
@@TheNotoriousKID people need to know more about the Pepper Pot.. it's a Guyanese jewel
Μy God, all food looks delicious! I own a small seafood restaurant in the Greek island of Crete... Though it's so far away I really feel you man... I wish you good health and continue enjoy what you are doing! Love, Nikos (Nick)
What's the name of your restaurant? My fiance and I are getting married in Croatia then coming to Greece for our honeymoon. We are going to Mykonos, Paros, and Crete. We would love to stop by and try it out!
See, right when he was down simple words from a stranger lifted him up to keep going. That's why I'm always kind to everyone because you never know what you just might do for someone with simple words of kindness.
What a wonderful feature of my country's delicious delicacies on our 48th independence day, by an even more wonderful person and chef who represents us well 🤗😌💕😋🇧🇸 #242 #ilovemybahamas
Things like this is make me extremely proud of my country. Until the realization of what's going on hits me.
When did we become independent doe?when we still swear aligance to the Queen 48 years of having a free off day in July
@@phillymac242official8 the British don't have any actual power anymore, the swearing allegiance thing is just tradition. Same with Canada and Australia.
@@kennythompson9646 Hey I’m fromTrinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹 but what exactly is going on in Bahamas?
@@BrandonshanesProductions hello. Nothing much is really going on here. What are you referring too?
I love this man. He seems like such a genuinely good guy, very hard-working, loves what he does, treats everyone well, built himself up from nothing through much hardship, and makes great food. Beautiful story and I wish him continued success. I will absolutely come to visit him when I go to the Bahamas in the future, the food looks delicious.
I visited this place, I'm from the CONGO, I felt home, thinking about investing there , we are so much alike ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
❤ 🇧🇸
@@meganferguson2592 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You can tell how much he deeply loves his brother and how he wishes he could be different.
What a great treat for this lovely Independence day 🇧🇸
As a Bahamian I approve and love this video,and love my conch.🇧🇸💙💙
WHen he got emotional talking about his brother ..... I felt it 😢
I love my Caribbean People 🇯🇲 🇧🇸
After this he’s gonna have to get a bigger plane and more staff. I can only imagine the publicity this will create since it looks sooooo good.
I don’t know who need to hear this but conch is f*ckin amazing! I’ve been eating conch since I was a baby, at least that’s what my mom told me.. conch fritters, grilled conch, conch soup, conch salad, and my absolute favorite curried conch! If you haven’t had conch yet, get your life! You are missing out, I promise you it is amazing, and yes it doesn’t taste like anything else except what it is and in my opinion it is not an acquired taste, it’s just simply delicious. I am from the tiny island of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
I hate it
@@allabored4443 I hear you, maybe you’re a bit of a picky eater and the idea of eating a huge sea snail just can’t sit right with you?.. either way you’re entitled to your likes and dislikes.. I’ve eaten everything from iguana and rabbit to sea turtle and possum.. I like the iguana and rabbit, hated the sea turtle and possum..
@@TheNotoriousKID it’s the texture for me it’s too chewy.
@@allabored4443 lol, that it is. But not that chewy honestly.
Yes, delicious! I also been eating it since a baby in Puerto Rico.
Finally someone to represent the bahamas well 😍...i love my country and all our native dishes 🙌😌
Loving the food and the dreads.. Like he's just chillin' while workin'
Respect to this wonderful person.When covid is over fingers crossed your restaurant is on my bucket list.
Some of us achieve only 15% of what we set out to achieve. This show has proved to me that I'm half way from my only goal. Please keeps these coming. CONGRATS TO THIS ABSOLUTE GEM OF A KING
Coming here to the Bahamas, you guys would fall head over heels in love with our Bahamian dishes! Take a trip and enjoy the beauty of our country! 242 🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸
I absolutely love the Bahamas hope to visit one day love from Australia 🇦🇺🇧🇸❤
I have so much respect for this man! He shared his life stories with us in this video and to see that he puts his heart into his restaurant and has customers telling him he's doing a great thing makes me happy. This man may have come from nothing but to show the world you can achieve what you put your mind to is pure bliss! God bless this video was truly epic
"Better days ahead"
indeed man, indeed
I’m from Miami and my mother’s side is from the Bahamas 🇧🇸 (Acklins and Crooked Island). Conch salad is definitely one of my favorite dishes!
My family is from there i am from miami fla tynes, hasting,hanna
For original Floridians, from the tip of Key West up to Palm Beach the Bahamas have always been our family. If there's a party going on we're bringing the Bahamian Junkanoos 🎉🎺
Bless this man and his attitude! World needs much more of this!
Been to Nassau once , very beautiful island with a lot of bright and hard working people. #respect
This is the stuff that makes me proud to be Bahamian. 🇧🇸 The last time I had food from McKenzies I was heading to Cat Island for Rake N’ Scrape in 2019 and I had me one snapper fried dry. That was the business!!! Keep up the good work sir! #goodSTUFF #mckenzies #awesome
You make me so proud to be a Bahamian! CONGRATS on a job well done and on making it to the top! Keep the vibe alive! "242 taking the BAHAMAS to the world!"😙👍🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸
This is phenomenal and the food looks delicious. Big up to my Caribbean folks!
Love Conch! Spent our honeymoon on Paradise island and ate conch salad daily right by the bridge.
“I didn’t grow up with a silver spoon, I grew up with a plastic spoon.”
Oh what a heartfelt testimony! I'm tearing up with a smile. The Bahamas is a wonderful place, filled with sweet, and kindhearted people. He's right, life is what it is, just live it, and make it happen.
So much conviction behind this man's simplicity - I'm sold and would love to try his stuff.
What a beautiful spirit and journey God Bless you Mr. McKenzie
I am so happy to know what fresh Bahamian food tastes like. So good dude.
In my youth I spent a lot of time in the Bahamas, sailing over from Florida. Diving almost every day for conch, lobster, grouper, snapper... I sure miss those days of absolute freedom in the Isles of June!
Snapper is the best fish you would ever eat dries beside trigger fish.
What a great story. Nothing is free but hard work paid off for him.
I remember trying conch for the first time during my first visit to the Bahamas. It was good and he was very nice to my boyfriend and I five years ago. We had a great time. He treated the tourists very pleasantly. Proud of you sir!
This guy has a very powerful and positive message. Thank you and maybe we all need to be more thankful for the things we already have
Omg my countryyy. Their conch salad one of the best ones under the bridge fr
Tried conch salad when I had only 3 days left in Bahamas that's all I ate until I left
Then it must be damn good.
Yes it is good 😌
4-5 kaliks with each meal too 🤣
This dude's pretty damn cool an awesome chef
Proud of you . . . Stay strong and never lose that positive spirit 💪🙏🇧🇸
my people, my city, my country. Thanks for highlighting our little but amazing country and people!
I’m hungry, I shouldn’t have clicked on this 😩😂 It looks delicious.
It really is! You should totally come here one day we'd love to have you!
@@raynellcunningham6743 I'll take the invitation as long as you're the one receiving me 😅
Me too
My mouth watering for those foods. I want to go to Bahamas 🇧🇸 right now
My man ate the spinal cord like it was licorice.😄
It's like a natural viagra.. all the men eat it, and trust me the women love it !😏 come on down and try it...
Its actually the conchs dick…
I had no gold spoon, I had no silver spoon…I had a plastic spoon. When you grow up hard, you definitely appreciate your efforts and sacrifice to provide for yourself a better life👍🏽🇻🇮
Ok but I'm gunna need that rice recipe tho! Everything looks so good
Shout out to McKenzie. Your restaurant is on my list when I visit the Bahamas.🇧🇸
been here as a kid and it really was something you remember
I'll have to look him up next time I visit Nassau...the food looks delicious and I love his story and his appreciation for what he's created. and has to offer.
Yes indeed the food is awesome
Food looks amazing!!! Everything is so fresh, can’t wait to visit soon!
Missing Nassau so much ! Can’t wait to go back. I must eat this mans food!!
Love seeing these types of videos. Great story & the food looks great, hope to visit when I go back to the Bahamas ❤️❤️❤️
Very touching message about life,just keep going on like the sea
All hail the magic conch
Lol...nice 🧽
Amazing man!! Love him, love his energy!! Never been to Bahamas but that fish dinner is something I will try if I ever go there.
🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸 everything looks awesome can't wait to come and try it all...one plane ride away 🥰
i’m homeless right now, i feel so inspired. please let him know he’s touched my heart
The bridge often seen in the background behind him takes you to Paradise Island.
I’ve been to this place and the food is fantastic. Loved the snapper!
I remember being in Abaco in the early mid 90s are a kid. I was in middleschool. There was a beach shack serving bbq conch sandwiches. They were a few dollars. Great memory
This guy is a gem with a beautiful soul
Big Up Carmichael Road!
.... that’s downtown nassau I think.
@@melanin4735 I know.....Still Big Up Carmicheal Road!
I been there and that conch salad was so good that I compare it to everywhere I've had it and it's just unmatched. Hands down a must have while visiting
