Bajan Buffet, Atlantis Hotel & Ostins 'Fish Fry' in Barbados

Writing about web page http://www.mcgonigle.co.uk

Our visit to Barbados has been mentioned briefly on the family blog but the Flickr stream, left, has reminded me of one of the many food highlights.

The weakness of the dollar and the B$ meant that even the ‘international class’ restaurants at the Crane Hotel where we stayed were not so exorbitant. I preferred the older seafood specialist L’Azure restaurant to the new themed Japanese & Thai Zen restaurant.

Atlantis Hotel, Bathsheba, BarbadosThe real bargains were well posted with the Bajan Buffet at the Atlantis Hotel, Bathsheba, Barbados recently well reviewed in the Telegraph . We went to the Wednesday buffet at under £11 and found all the food to be excellently prepared & presented with three ladies serving and keeping the food just so. I enjoyed a rare treat as they served roast blackbelly sheep. The meat of this goat-like sheep is popular across the Caribbean.

The Oistin’s “Fish Fry” is an evening tradition especially on Friday night. The fish are landed, filleted in the fish market and grilled in the open within a stones throw of the beach where you can eat marlin, tuna, shark, kingfish, flying fish, barracuda, dolphin fish and snapper. Our mistake was to wait until Friday because we could easily have eaten there twice. The prices made Coventry’s fish & chip shops look expensive. (The Oistins photos were loaded last and the Flikr links are on the left.)

My Barbados slideshow can be seen at www.hillfray.co.uk but be warned that this is best viewed on a good broadband link.
