A man-made island just west of downtown, lined with two dozen open-air seafood shacks painted in bright Caribbean colours. Fish Fry, as everyone calls it, is where Nassau itself eats — the cracked conch, fried snapper, grouper sandwiches, conch salad, and Kalik beer are the same prices that locals pay. Twin Brothers and Goldie's are the long-running favourites.
Lunch and dinner are both good times to come. Saturday and Sunday nights bring live rake-and-scrape bands, conch-salad demonstrations at the front stalls, and a much heavier crowd. The best food is the conch salad prepared in front of you with raw conch, citrus, peppers, and onion — a kind of Bahamian ceviche. Order it spicy.
