Of course, this is the Caribbean and the
Virgin Islands are considered the best area for fishing
and you'll be able to enjoy some exotic seafoods.
The great restaurant
chefs know just how to prepare and serve some tasty
seafood dinners you won't find anywhere else. Carnival
in the spring is a good time to sample the food and
culture because that's when it's all brought out to
enjoy. However, this is a tourist area and it's
available for your enjoyment anytime of the year. There
are small
restaurants
tucked away around the islands that offer plenty of
different menus and preparations.
These are just a few of the tasty foods you'll be being
enjoying whether you live or vacation in the
US Virgin Islands
:
Conch Fritters are
a much prized delicacy drawn from the Conch seashell.
They're typically served as entrees. Conch Fritters are
deep fried with any variety of spices to make a delicate
morsel covered with a breaded, crunchy batter.
Caribbean Lobsters
are somewhat smaller than those found in North Atlantic
waters but they have a unique taste you will want to
try. Some lobster dishes may come stuffed with Crab
meat.
Caribbean Pates
are made with lobster, conch, chicken or beef fillings.
These light snacks are deep fried.
Fungi
is made with
cornmeal and an okra side dish that is added to fish
dinners.
Johnny Cake is a
common item on Caribbean dinner menus. They are deep
fried biscuits, better eaten when warm, but many Virgin
Islanders eat them cold for lunch.
Virgin Island Tarts
are a very sweet, single crust pie filled with coconut,
guava or other fruits.
Goatwater is a
stew made from goat meat and includes onions, garlic,
tomatoes, and spices.
Ole Wife is a dish
that has triggerfish or moonfish in it and it's boiled
with onions and spices.
Maubi is a spicy
drink fermented from maubi bark, sugar, orange peelings,
cinnamon and cloves and is on the menus of local
restaurants. Seamoss, another popular drink is made with
boiled seaweed. After the seaweed dissolves, it is mixed
with milk and spices. Other tropical Caribbean drinks
you can ask for may include: passionfruit juice, pumpkin
punch, banana punch, coconut water, peanut punch, bush
tea and lemon tea.
Rum has a long
history in the Caribbean and every Caribbean Island has
or once had, its own distillery. Rum is made from sugar
cane or molasses and it is perhaps the most common
alcoholic drink for tourists.
