Fresh Fish


Fresh fish is available at small fish stands on both the Caribbean and the Atlantic sides of the island. We have enjoyed the red fish more than we expected. We love the mahi mahi here. We buy mahi mahi steaks ready cook for lunch when we see it available at the road side stands.

One time, the lady asked in we wanted the whole bag, which contained heads and several other parts as well as the steaks. The locals make a soup out of the heads that is supposed to be very good. We passed on the offer.



We want to try the albacore, but we haven't found it at the stands yet. These were on the beach from a recent catch by the fishermen above.

Iguana is another interesting food we have tried. It was mixed with rabbit in a spicy sauce. We could see the skin of the Iguana in the mixture. It wasn't bad, but Elder Ross quit after one bite.

Ooooh, fresh fish sounds marvelous! You'll have to teach me some good ways of cooking it when you get home--right now the only way I know how to prepare it is drag the fish through flour and salt and pepper, and fry!

The iguana+rabbit...um, doesn't sound so good. Yuck.
