The later you go, the more people you will have to wrangle with and the longer you will have to wait to be served. Get there before the most loved foods run out.
Friday and Saturday nights are the best nights for this Barbados fish fry. Friday, around 10:00 pm the party crowd builds up. You can groove to Dj music of all types from old school to modern, hip hop, disco, reggae and dub.
