Indulging In The Culinary Heritage of The Caribbean Islands
Tobago is a romantic island that spreads idyllically along the Caribbean Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean. This little piece of paradise flawlessly extends the magic of Caribbean’s rich cultural heritage by offering diverse multicultural, multiracial and fascinating culinary fusions, far more appealing than the classic fare found elsewhere in the Caribbean. The cuisines created here are an exceptional blend of African, Chinese, Indian, Latin American and European influences, super imposed with those of countries as diverse as Lebanon, Syria, and Italy.
Curry and roti is a patent dish of the Tobagonians and is tremendously influenced by East India, but, like all West Indian curry dishes, it has now been comprehensively localized. Another popular dish is the uncommon delicacy ‘cascadu’, a petite fresh water fish. According to a legend whoever consumes this rare ‘cascadu’ comes back to the Caribbean islands to end their days in peace. Brimming with local restaurants, shops and bars, Tobago very artfully represents its broad-based nature through its freshly prepared street food which is quite popular with the tourists. The variety extends from phulourie, bake and shark, curried shrimp roti, geera chicken and pork, corn soup to raw oysters with a spicy sauce, saheena, kachorie, aloo pies, cheese pies, fish pies, and much more.
