Today’s Taste of the Caribbean comes from Sunshine’s, the Nevis beach bar famous for the sting of their “Killer Bee.” Sunshine’s is not only about great drinks, but has some of the best food on the island. Among the tasty offerings is the Sunshine Salad. When I asked what was in it, I was told it was “made with love.” I can’t turn that down, and I wasn’t disappointed. For more on why Sunshine’s is one of our favorite beach bars, read our feature here. For all the images and stories of our trip to Nevis, read our trip reports!

It’s a classic found throughout the Caribbean. Peas and rice accompany many of our favorite meals on our travels through the islands. This gorgeous plate of food was found at Hole in the Wall, on Airport Road, Providenciales, Turks & Caicos Islands. It was recommended by our rental car agent (rental car guys and taxi drivers are some of the best sources of this kind of information). For more on our trips to Providenciales, read our Trip Reports!

Good morning! Bonjour! Taste of the Caribbean embraces the French influence in the islands this morning, with the Pain du Chocolat, found at Geraud’s Patisserie on the island of Anguilla. Look at all those layers! I only wish Geraud’s would open a Wisconsin location! For more on our trips to Anguilla, including loads of delicious food, read our trip reports!

Our daughter has always been a pretty adventurous orderer, surprising restauranteurs with her selections. When she was 7-years-old and we traveled to Mexico, she ordered squid and octopus. We began traveling to the Caribbean when she was 9, and she was the first to order some of the local fare, including oxtails. The rich stew of braised oxtails paired with rice, and in this case, the familiar onion rings, met with her approval.

Today’s edition of Taste of the Caribbean comes to us courtesy of the British Virgin Islands. I knew when we were planning our trip to the British Virgin Islands that I had to make sure to order the lobster for which Anegada is famous, although I couldn’t wait until our day trip to the island. This beautiful Lobster salad was found at Pusser’s on Marina Cay, a small island situated between Scrub Island and Beef Island. They will ferry you over to the island at no charge. Just give them a call. For more on our trip to the British Virgin Islands, including our trip to Anegada, Marina Cay and…

It’s time to launch our new series featuring our favorite dishes from the Caribbean islands. Today’s feature is Conch Salad from the Turks & Caicos Islands. This particular conch salad comes from Da Conch Shack, located in the Blue Hills area of Providenciales. At Da Conch Shack, you can watch as they pull the conch from the sea, extract it from its shell at a table beach side, and then transport it to the kitchen where it is mixed with lime juice, peppers, tomatoes, and onions into this delicious treat. Pair it with Jan’s Infamous Rum Punch, and you have the perfect seaside lunch. For more about Da Conch…
