Barbados
Oistins Fish Fry
"A night of great bajan food and music"
If you are looking for cheap,
amazing Caribbean seafood the Barbados Oistins Fish Fry is
the place to be.
The
Oistins Fish Fry is a collection of local vendors serving fresh seafood
from outdoor shacks in the small south coast village of Oistins.
You really can’t get any more
authentic than this!
The Fish Fry is open all days of the
week…however the best night to head down there is Friday night.
This
is when the majority of the vendors are open from 6 pm with live reggae
music and plenty of local crafts on sale such as necklaces, sea shells
and local artwork.
There is a large selection of
vendors to choose from and they will try to convince you that their
fish is better than the others.
Don’t worry they
are all on the same level in my opinion so don’t feel pressured and
take time to walk around and enjoy the atmosphere before choosing one.
Once
you’ve got your meal, take a seat at one of the picnic benches and
enjoy the pumping music and lively atmosphere down at the fish market.
As it gets closer to 10 pm a party
atmosphere begins to develop with many locals showing up to enjoy the
food and festivities.
So try to get there early to avoid the
crowds or there might not be any food left for you!
