Barbados: Flying Fish

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways!

Grilled.

Fried.

With fries.

With salad.

On a plate.

On a bun.

Flying fish is one of Barbados’s official national foods. These fish, which are common in tropical water, actually have wings. Well, not wings but giant fins. & they don’t fly, more like swimming quickly toward the surface & then jumping into the air.

Regardless, flying fish is awesome. I eat it pretty much every day for lunch when I’m in Barbados & really miss having it when I’m not there. Prior to our last trip, I would have told you that the Carib had the best flying fish sandwich, but then I discovered several other awesome flying fish sandwiches which are definitely in contention for number one. Better go back & sample some more!
