This legendary spot for fresh fish meals attracts masses of tourists but locals still like to come down for a fish meal and a beer, especially on Friday night which is significantly more hectic than the fish fry’s other main night, Saturday. It’s held in a complex of low-rise modern buildings next to the fish market.
Most of the stalls serve the same menu: grilled fish and shellfish, pork chops, ribs and chicken. Sides include macaroni pie, chips, plantain, grilled breadfruit, garlic bread and more. Unless you specify, you’ll get a bit of each side with your main. Just because there are more than 30 vendors serving the same menu doesn’t mean all are created equal, however. Go with the crowds; they know. Buy a cheap and icy bottle of Banks and plunge in.
There's a large stage in the middle of the complex where DJs belt out high-volume sets while dancers show off their moves to the crowd – don't expect much conversation during your meal.
While most of the action is on the weekends, if you're not into partying with the crowds – which can involve long lines and crammed minibuses – even during off-peak moments there are usually a couple of places serving meals and snacks, including tasty fish cakes.
