Fish fry and night market question

[babyclaytonmom]

Hi all! Will be in Barbados in 5 weeks and will be there till 9:00 pm. How far is Ostin's fish fry from the pier? Taxi? or walkable? Also is this at the same place as the "festival" I remember reading about with a parade and night market? Thank you!

Think the parade takes place during the April Festival.

To contemplate walking is not sensible as it equates to "easy moving target".

Taxi there and back.  No bling, no expensive cameras, no credit cards, minimum amount of cash (do not flash a bundle), go with a large group and stay together.

For a little adventure and low cost you could spend two bucks apiece (unless the price has gone up) and walk a ways South towards Carlisle and as soon as you get out of town and are on the road that hugs the water hop on a ZR van.  There are some bus stops but if you are walking and hear a goofy horn honking behind you flag the van down and hop on.  Tell the drive you want to go to Oistens and give him or the collector $1 US or $2 BBD.  The van may be really crowded and the ride a bit on the exciting side.  Could be harder getting back to the ship the same way but you could always get a taxi too.
