“oh andros”(37 reviews)
we received several recommendations that Oh Andros had the best food in Arawak Cay.
this is the only place that had a non stop crowd of locals...
Ask for "Big Mama" as your server. She's the best.
Conch and Chicken plate and the Conch and Grouper. conch ceviche and Conch Salad
Best to cross bridge then take one of the Jitneys down to the Fish Fry. Then either cab back to Harborside or Jitney back to bridge. IMO too far to walk.
For a more scenic trip, consider taking the water ferry from Paradise islandto downtown Nassau, then it's a 20 minute walk from there to Arawak Cay and the Fish Fry.
regarding the bridge specifically; we walked over both bridges (again with a baby in a stroller) several times to go to Potters Cay, etc. We loved it, the views were great, people we encountered were friendly, it's too bad more people don't take advantage of it.
=========================
Behind the village is a cay, an artificial island, which was built from sand dredged from the Nassau Harbor. This cay is called Arawak Cay however, the locals have taken to calling the Fish Fry at Heritage Village, Arawak Cay.
To wash it all down, try our locally brewed beer, Kalik named after the sound of Junkanoo cowbells or Sky Juice, a potent gin and coconut water concoction with condensed milk added as flavoring.
For example, there is grilled conch, fried or cracked conch, conch chowder, conch fritters and the all time favorite, conch salad. This is a spicy mixture of chopped conch mixed with diced onions, cucumbers, tomatoes, hot peppers in a lime and orange marinade. Just watching the expert chopping of the ingredients is a show as good as any in town. The choicest of the islands fish, grouper or snapper, are served fried, steamed or grilled.
Meals are typically served with peas and rice, French fries, potato salad, Cole slaw, Bahamian macaroni and cheese and fried plantains. For desert there is guava duff, a local favorite and a Bahamian delight. Guava Duff is a steamed pudding made from dough with guava slices jelly rolled, wrapped in cloth and steamed for several hours to give a light, fluffy texture. The finishing touch is a sauce made from the strained guava pulp and flavored to taste with rum, vanilla or confectionary sugar. The guava fruit is available year round, but is most plentiful during the summer months. ; These meals may be prepared for dining in or take out
A fish fry is a Bahamian version of a seafood festival, similar to a Bahamian backyard experience.
