Scotchies

Ocho Rios, Port Antonio & the North Coast


This roadside offshoot of the famous jerk center in Montego Bay lies adjacent to an Epping Gas station between St Ann's Bay and Dunn’s River Falls. Its pork and chicken jerk, smoked over pimento wood, water the mouths of locals and visitors alike; the jerk sausage is also worth investigating. Order by the quarter pound; accompaniments include roast breadfruit, bammy and festival.
