Before I even got on the plane to Barbados I had heard of Oistins Fish Friday. It seemed to be the place to be on a Friday night for locals and tourists alike, and I couldn't wait to experience it firsthand.
By the time Friday came around, Matt and I had been in Barbados for a couple of days and after hours of sunbathing we were in the party mood and ready for some action!
After a couple of strawberry daiquiris and salty dogs at the hotel, we got on the bus and headed straight to the active fishing town to experience some of the fabulous food we'd heard so much about.
By the time we arrived at Oistins, the place was heaving with people of all ages and the lively atmosphere and aroma of grilled fish lured us in.
There were so many vendors to choose from that we spent the first half an hour wandering around in a state of awe until we finally settled on a choice of grilled tuna and a beer. With rows of seats in a very relaxed setting, we joined a table with some other tourists and stuffed our faces with the glorious Bajan food.
Not only was the food delicious (a great variety of fish to choose from, ideal for two peskatarians), but there was also some cute stalls selling jewelry, and other crafty items. Matt treated me to a gorgeous shell bracelet which I know will always remind me of the magic of Oistins.
Considering how busy the place was, it turned out to be an extremely romantic setting and I found myself melting into Matt's arms and freally letting my hair down.
What is it about Barbados that is just so perfect? Can I go back right now please?
