Bahamian Cuisine

Passengers traveling to Grand Bahama on Discovery Sun quite often ask me, where they can eat true Bahamian food. Nearly every restaurant on Grand Bahama devotes at least a section of the menu to Bahamian food. Two dishes that you will find very popular and that you should try at least once while you are visiting the island are Cracked Conch & Grouper Fingers. Conch can be prepared in many different ways and my personal favorite is conch salad, which is raw conch with peppers, tomatoes and onions. Conch is a sea snail and it tastes a little like a clam. If you are taking a 1-day cruise from Fort Lauderdale you will have time to visit Daddy Brown’s conch stand, located in Port Lucaya. He makes by far the best conch salad I have ever had on the island. If you catch Daddy Brown at the right time, you can watch him remove the fresh conch right from the shell and prepare the salad right in front of you.
