scotts8826 Posted January 30, 2013 #1 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I was reading about a location that was referred to as "Fish Fry" which has 4-5 restaurants in a cluster. I also thought I read about a couple different locations. Can anyone give me an idea of where this "fish Fry" is located? Is it within walking distance of the cruise ship port? It sounds like a great place to grab a little local cuisine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotts8826 Posted January 30, 2013 Author #2 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Ok, I've found a little more information as I've read the posts. So, do I just ask a taxi to take me to the Fish Fry or is there a specific name for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tm3750 Posted January 30, 2013 #3 Share Posted January 30, 2013 It is about 1.5 miles from the port. You can take the #10 Jitney there for $1.25 and walk back if you like. I have been gathering information on this for the past 2 weeks. We are going on our cruise Friday and that will be out lunch stop the day we are in port. Everybody says it is a good time, good food, great price but service is often slow so be prepared for that. We are looking forward to going there. We will most likely walk ther and back. From what I understand, you walk out to the strret that runs along the water and head towards Senor' Frogs turm left and go up Bay St. Turn right and walk past the Hilton Hotel along the water and you will come to Junkaroo Beach first and then next the Fish Fry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Kat Posted January 31, 2013 #5 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Earlier this month we walked there. Pleasant walk, along a pretty beach. We ate at Anchorage, in a purple building at the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotts8826 Posted February 1, 2013 Author #6 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Thanks for all the help and insights. My group is not planning a big shore excursion the day we visit Nassau so getting off the ship and heading out for a few hours for some local flavor sounds perfect to me.

kdawg954 Posted February 1, 2013 #7 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Highly recommend the Fish Fry. Just good food, good prices . . . but I do agree service can be slow but just enjoy the time and it won't seem like anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markntara Posted February 4, 2013 #8 Share Posted February 4, 2013 The walk is on mostly level terrain, a few curbs to step off of, and back on around the Hilton Area. It is a easy walk & there are few places to take scenic pictures. Here is a map: Arial View: I took this picture along the walk ...

cruisingbooboo Posted February 18, 2013 #10 Share Posted February 18, 2013 How do you know when the jitney comes? Is there signs like a bus stop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TikkiTembo Posted February 18, 2013 #11 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Earlier this month we walked there. Pleasant walk, along a pretty beach. We ate at Anchorage, in a purple building at the back. Timewise, about how many minutes did it take you to walk back to the ship? Last time we were there it was dark out so we just took a taxi back. (We had a great taxi driver who took us from Comfort Suites to Oh Andros and then we called him on his cell and he came back for us and took us to the ship.) Big Mama at Oh Andros let us use her cell to call him. Very nice service and great food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSUKNIGHT Posted February 21, 2013 #12 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Has anyone had lunch at Fish Fry when your ship leaves at 2pm? We are trying to decide if it can be done. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OttoCal Posted February 21, 2013 #13 Share Posted February 21, 2013 We walked and had no problem- we were going to take the #10 bus but saw a few signs pointing to the Fish Fry with distance indicators in yards, and thought 'why would we bother with a bus'? :confused: We stopped at Junkanoo beach for a beer along the way. It was a pleasant walk with nice views and we always felt safe. We ate at Oh Andros, which was recommended at several locations and loved it. Split the seafood platter and an order of conch fritters between 2 people and were stuffed! It rained and we ended up taking the bus back- very easy. They will direct you to the bust stop from the Fish Fry shops. For the 2 pm ship departure- is your all aboard time at 1:30? Note that most of the Fish Fry shops aren't known for fast service, and if you are in a group it could be slower. Island Time, mon. You would have to be sure that they were open by 11 I think. We went a bit after 12, so I can't confirm an 11 am opening time, but maybe someone else can. I think it is doable if you watch the time and can be out of the restaurant by 12:30 to make sure you can catch a bus or taxi back, go through the cruise port building, get your ID checked to get back on the pier, and then get down the pier to your ship.

stjohnpa Posted February 22, 2013 #14 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Have been to the Fish Fry twice. Walked from port both times. It's a beautiful walk,takes about 30 minutes. Most of the restaurants do open at 11am. And going then, the service is pretty quick because there's no one else there. The food both times was great. First time went to Twin Brother's ( I think that's the name). Second time went to one all the way at the end and to the right. I don't remember the name of it, but we sat on a deck that was right on the water. That place had the best conch fritters ever!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaxcruiser66 Posted April 18, 2013 #18 Share Posted April 18, 2013 My wife and I were just in Nassau two days ago. We walked along Bay Street and did some window shopping. We used the bathroom at the British Colonial Hilton and walked around the beach. We then walked east along Junkanoo and walked with our shoes off along the water. We walked all the way out to the Fish Fry. We ate at a place called Candies. We had 10 conch fritters for $3 bucks, a whole fried snapper for $9. We sat inside right under the A/C unit. We also had a fresh fruit smoothie with HUGE shots of rum! We then took the #10 bus back to the straw market for $1.25 each! The total cost was lunch and the bus... Better than any excursion I could have taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to go but have restricted mobility (dependant on a cane) and fear the walk might be too far for me.

HoneyTheBiGGestMoMaAlive Posted April 30, 2013 #21 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I wanted to thank everyone on this post GREAT INFORMATION the maps, the pictures, distances from port to FISH FRY location. This is just what i was lookin for were gonna be docked in Nassau for 8 or 9 hours. November 2nd her birthday GOOD LOCAL CUISINE (yum yum conch fritters) a beach close by. We"ll probably head over to the straw market i haven't been there since my last trip to Nassau like 1992. An 30 minutes top walk aint bad at all. Once again thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunnyfoofoo82 Posted May 3, 2013 #22 Share Posted May 3, 2013 DH and I were there a few months ago and are going back next week. We did a walking tour of Nassau then did lunch. We highly recommend The Anchorage. It's at the far end of the Fish Fry but worth the extra steps. It was clean, great views, wonderful people and tasty food. The walk back is mostly along the beach so it was relaxing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the fish shrank and the dollars have grown. We were served a 7" fish for $12.00 and all breaded up coch fritters that were cheap. We were so disappointed not to have picked another place. I actually returned my lunch the fish did not look that good. Oh well, it was an adventure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
