Cuisine of Nassau for gourmets. Places for dinner - best restaurants

Nassau - Paradise Island Nassau is a perfect place to discover the traditional Bahamian cuisine. Regional cuisine is sure to impress fans of seafood, exotic fruits, and rare delicacies that are only found here. At a certain period, the formation of local cooking traditions was greatly influenced by British, Caribbean and African cuisines. Most of the popular dishes are prepared from seafood and seasonal vegetables. Another important component of local gastronomy is spices, which are added to virtually all dishes.
At local restaurants, be sure to try lobster, in the preparation of which Bahamian chefs have reached incredible heights. Tortoise soup had been one of the local specialties for many years until it lost its former popularity in recent years. The number of turtles has decreased drastically and the reptile reached the verge of extinction. Such unfavorable changes inspired fans of high gastronomy to refuse cooking the exotic dish. Today, tortoise soup can be tasted only in a few restaurants.
Tortoise soup was replaced by original dishes prepared from Conch (Konk) mollusk, which is quite rare and has a unique taste. Squid and shrimp have long become every-day for Nassau residents, they are served in restaurants and bars of any level. Travelers are recommended to taste fish and seafood dishes at restaurants and cafes located in the port area. Local restaurants are in active cooperation with local fishermen so all the food they serve is prepared from the freshest seafood. Copyright www.orangesmile.com
