I have known them since the periscope days, but I’ve never actually met them in person with jumped into a taxi and went down to the fish fry to Oh Andros. I’ve never been before. Go hungry is all I have to say. The menu lIt holds about 100 people inside. Here’s a view from the front door. There are a bunch of different venues here but it’s the one my friends always go to. The food was spectacular and the drinks were delicious. We had a few drinks and way too much food. I had the fried shrimp with rice, slaw and potato salad. Jarvis had fish sticks (real fish) with rice, mac & cheese and fried plantains. The last plate was fish sticks and steak. Just looked at reviews on Trip Advisor. Lots of reviews said the wait for your food was an hour or longer . How was that on your visit? any better? We plan on going there in September. Looks to be to far to walk to from the port. Assumed you used a taxi? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sure would. I miss the periscope days a lot. It was a great cruising community. Jarvis does some You Tube broadcasts, but it ain’t periscope. I actually miss periscoping my cruises. Such a great group of folks. mac_tlc 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which I think we paid something like $5 pp. Well worth it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assumed you used a taxi? For us it averages about 30 minutes or so from the time you order you food until the time it arrives at your table. We did have to wait an hour one time on a Sunday afternoon. The place was packed with locals after church let out and many went there for lunch. We usually take a taxi there. We just say “fish fry” and they know where to go. It’s a quick ride. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s on island time, and the kitchen has to be small considering the restaurant size. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have always told him he should be a cruise ship captain or an airline pilot. That would help us in the discount part, and he says he knows it. That said, he did enjoy sitting in the cockpit of the plane. 😄 Lisa and I will cheers to that. Edited January 2, 2023 by A&L_Ont 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything but the seafood! As good as the seafood probably tasted, it’s definitely not worth the risk of having to be hauled off to an ER in Nassau! 😱 In my world fish 🐟 and crustaceans 🦞 are friends, not food! 😂 I also have an allergy to shrimp (not severe and only gastrointestinal) and don't bother eating any seafood as I have never been tested and don't want to find out the hard way by trying anything else. Also, it could go to anaphylactic without notice. Besides, DH doesn't eat any fish or seafood. We just tend to go to Senor Frog's in Nassau. One, for the fact they serve tacos and two for the view of the port as well as being a good walk. Food is only a driver in ports as we prefer to eat lunch ashore when we can. In Bermuda, we go to Frog and Onion for lunch or dinner every trip. In PR, we always find a restaurant that serves real PR food as my DH is PR. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She puffed up like a balloon! She quit her job and is no longer a restaurant chef. She said that was a very scary experience and she would not want it to happen again! She loves to cook, so felt sorry for her. Anyway, that was many years ago and she's now happily retired, living next door to her twin and BIL, way out in BFE on 40 acres! They grow most of their own food and are enjoying the peace and quiet. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare A&L_Ont Posted January 2, 2023 Author #275 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Part of my lunch today. Tuna wrap with, wait for it, craisins. They are delicious, and the only dried fruit for me. No, I don’t have heatstroke and no one has stole my iPad. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
