Barbados fish fry offers true island dining experience

Barbados fish fry offers true island dining experience
Any fish lover planning a Caribbean vacation need look no further than Barbados. The fishing town of Oistins opens up the Barbadian world of fresh-caught ocean fish every Friday night.

The Oistins Fish Fry offers tourists and locals a variety of food, highlighted by freshly caught tuna, marlin, swordfish, mahi-mahi and other fish native to the waters surrounding Barbados. Also available are lobster, chicken and island produce. The fish is all cooked to order on site as patrons stand just a few feet away, and can be either grilled or fried.

The wallet-friendly dining experience is merely a fraction of an Oistins Friday evening. Before food begins being served and patrons make their way to the plentiful seating at 7 p.m., people are encouraged to wander along the pier, taking in the sunset and tossing fish scraps to turtles swimming below.

Once the smell of food begins to waft through the air, so too does the sound of Caribbean music. The laid-back festival atmosphere encourages people to sing and dance through the night.
