Barbados is known as "the land of the flying fish" which is also a national symbol of the country. So, off we went to try this fish!
The popular flying fish shops are located in Oistins, which is a seaside town not far from Rockley.
These stretch of shops are selling flying fish, but we aimed for the one with the longest queue.
The driver parked his car behind a KFC restaurant and we have to walk past this stage before reaching that famous shop.
It is a huge stage in between the stretch of shops, nearby the beach. This place must be quite happening with stage shows during the weekend.
[Below] The menu board. They also have mahi-mahi (dolphin) too. Nope, i haven't try that yet. So far, I only had flying fish and marlin.
This town is famous for its fish market too.
The main street is even decorated with lights in fish shape.
Berinda Cox fish market, which opens in the morning.
Here's my meal - 2 huge pieces of deep fried flying fish with rice&peas and mac salad. Very high carb and protein meal!
I have been eating potatoes and fries for the past few days, therefore i chose rice and mac instead😂
Tender boneless fish with texture like cooked sardines, but in crispy deep fried outer layer. A tasty meal. Super full after finishing these.
The seafood menu looks exciting for me to try everything!!
ReplyDeleteOh, they eat dolphins ? I didn't know that. Thanks for sharing. I love to eat fish and macs.
ReplyDeleteInteresting! I didn't know that flying fish is eaten. It reminds me of the folklore Singapura Dilanggar Todak.
ReplyDeleteErm looked for peas cannot find. Such exotic food, yeah!
