Buying fresh fish in Barbados


A task turns into an adventure.

Starts out with Yellow bus ride to Paynes Bay, we prefer the Yellow private busses, yes loud music but they stop for you and let you off at your destination not the bus stop and you don't have to keep guessing if you are there yet!

Seaside Government controlled fish market open from 7am to 7 pm, we arrived t 10:20 am - no fish in yet, walked around a bit still not in, we were forced to have a beer at a small roadside bar. 11:40 fish are in. Woman in front of us starts conversation with us and then tells us to go first. We ordered about 6 servings of filleted dolphin fish also called Mahi Mahi or Dorado. Head back to get the bus home and decided to stop at the Roti Hut we had passed by during our wait. Bought a couple of chicken Roti for lunch. Flagged down a Yellow bus, got off in Holetown and walked the 2 blocks up the hill to home - total adventure time 2:30 hrs. Worth every minute, cause we got our fresh fish!
