Well, that looks tasty.

I think that smoked marlin wrap I posted the other day was pretty much the only food photo I took , but...

I ate:

- lionfsh ( three times including once when the Verandah Restaurant made it especially for me), a large dense fleshed reef fish which I was too tired to enquire about, snapper countless ways, shrimp, scallops and crab more times and ways I can count and lobster and mussels a couple of times. The resort was exceptional at doing a sort of ceviche shrimp that was much less rubbery than the typical Mexican preparation. I also ate smoked marlin at least once a day. Grilled fish tacos.

-jerk pork, jerk chicken and jerk sausage. I had all three as street food and also in elevated fashion in a couple of higher end restaurants. Jerk smokehouse beef burger.

-oxtail and broad beans (both fancy and plain), filet mignon, ribeye, house smoked beef. I love Jamaican beef.

-bbq pork, pork ribs, grilled tenderloin, delicious Jamaican bacon and house made ham.

-Jamaican bbq chicken, Jamaican roast chicken chicken and red peas soup

- rabbit, goat, lamb (2 or three ways)

-ackee saltfish, curry goat, coconut curry seafood, escovitch snapper, snapper on coco bread, chicken patty, beef patty, veg patty, Ital beans, boiled green banana, fried plantain, rice and gungo peas, various pumpkin/callaloo/ spinach rice combinations and several different stuffed chocho preparations. The pumpkin and plantain soup with crisped jerk sausage chips may have been the single best soup I have ever eaten.

So many other things too.

Wonderful. Much of that food had scotch bonnet in it, to one degree or another.

We ate lots, drank lots, swam lots and caught a lot of decent Jamaican music. I also averaged well over an hour a day of snorkelling. The house band were this sort of dub/ psyche/ jam freak out band, yet super tight. I think even more drugs than usual for a Jamaican band were required to perfect their sound.

First "summer" meal. Super fresh halibut, sweet corn, both grilled, and herbed rice.

Domino's for lunch, cake for tea, Chinese for dinner - must be a hangover day

[Henry Krinkle]

I cannot endorse the Domino\s but everything else seems good.
