Fish Fry

The Exumas


The collection of clapboard shacks with names like Charlie's and Shirley's is the best place on the island to meet locals and indulge in typical Bahamian seafood staples. Friday and Saturday are the big nights when there's music and the rum is flowing but at least one shack is open each day. It's 2.5km northwest of George Town
