Enjoy lobster and shrimp in the Dominican Republic, but from July through the end of October please do not order or buy conch, Lifestyle Cabarete reminds all. The queen conch, known as lambi in the Dominican Republic, cannot be legally harvested during this off season. Lambi populations must be given an opportunity to recover and breed so that sufficient quantities of the conch can be maintained in our waters. The recommendation for those who love conch is to observe the closed season and not buy or eat lambi through 31 October.
