Local Snacks

[MMeyers87]

Looking for any recommendations for good Bajan (Bajun?) snack food that is available around Bridgetown. We are traveling with my grandparents-in-law, and for dietary limitations we will be eating mainly on the ship. One of my favorite parts of cruises is normally sampling local cuisine, so I am looking for opportunities to do so outside of normal meals. Does anyone know of any good quick bites to look out for?

A flying fish sandwich with Bajan pepper sauce, macaroni pie and an ice cold Banks usually does it for me...

 

Cheers, P:)

By all means don't miss getting a Flying Fish Sandwich. They call them "Sliders". Yum! Yum! :)

They're called CUTTERS locally.

 

Anything in a bun (-a Bajan Salt Bread) becomes a "Cutter"

i.e. cheese cutter, fried-egg cutter, Flyin-Fish cutter, ham cutter, etc.

 

Only with two fish-cakes does the combo then become "a bread en two!"

Never mind: you have to be local to understand the lingo.

:o My Bad! Cutters, not sliders. Swear I know better ... must have been a senior moment .... Thanks so much for the correction.

 

By any name those Flying Fish Cutters are FANTASTIC! Yum! Yum! :D

 

We were on an excursion once in Barbados that served grilled Flying Fish which was also delicious. :)
