Merton's Place

Barbados


Pull up a table on the elevated wooden platform overlooking the water in this ramshackle local hangout in the tiny village of Half Moon Fort and take your pick of a variety of market fresh fish – you can have it grilled or fried – and various sides. It also serves chicken and pork, but the fish is the popular choice.

It's a very local experience – don't expect toilet paper or locks on the bathroom doors.
