Hey Barbados, I too have spent some time on that lovely island and have eaten my share of FF. The recipe you post is pretty good but Bajans often soak their FF in lime juice, not for long mind you because the acidity will 'cook' the fish, but just for about 3 to 5 minutes BEFORE applying the batter or bread crumbs.

Banks Beer is ALWAYS the drink of choice to wash down those fantastic fish fillets. Oh and Bajans also call them 'Flat Fish'

Cheers

On a recent cruise I noticed many gentlemen, I use the term quite lightly, dressed in Jeans. What don't people understand about country club casual or formal?

Anyway, what we now see as formal is really coctail. Formal would require a gown for her and tails for him.

If you end up in Papeete, either during a stopover or as a final destination and you want some inexpensive WIFI and or if you have large USD bills, 20's say, and you want that broken down then go to this little place called La Maison de la Presse. Located directly across the street and a little to the left of the Tourist Information booth at the dock, this little refreshment, sandwich and souvenir shop will oblige.

Six USD (at time of posting) will get you 1 hour of WIFI time. You can log off and return later if you wish. Also it has some nice little sandwiches and ice cream treats as well as the usual souvenirs for consumption AND they'll break down some larger USD bills for you.

We had tried going to the banks but with typical civil servant attitudes we were turned down because they didn't have smaller denomination bills like ones and fives. The banks also require that you present a passport whereas this little mom and pop spot doesn't.

It's easy to find. Just cross the street directly behind the tourist info. place and turn left. You'll know you're at the spot when you see the two or three post card stands on the street.

Worth the visit in either case. Nice people also.
