Moveable (sea) feast




When in good company in a setting as fantastic as Silver Sands Beach, the activities and moments of blissful contemplation are countless.

The idea of going off to the Oistins fish market was the starting point of a greedy feast. The fish market is as authentic as it can be and welcomes stalls of flying fish, barracuda, sharks, sword fish and tuna among roosters and friendly locals who always find a good opportunity to chat with tourists from all over the world.

Our eyes were set on thick and opalescent slices of fresh sword fish destined for a cold rice salad. The idea for the evening feast though was to get tiger prawns for our favorite Jamie Oliver's dish, rich with chillies -oh we will remember the jalapeños for a few years - and grated ginger and garlic. The rest of the company chipped in to get ingredients for hasselback potatoes and Turkish biscuits to be rolled in icing sugar once baked - the recipe comes straight from a grandfather's cooking habits if you can believe it.

The feast promised to take us all over the world based on everyone's taste and experience. The perfect feast, bathed in the evening light of Barbados.

  2. This is one of our most regular suppers, but I have to say that eaten by the sea it takes on a whole new flavor. It is probably all very psychological...but there's nothing wrong in that, right?
