Flying Fish & Cou-Cou – The National Dish
The most famous dish in Barbados is Flying Fish & Cou-Cou, considered the island’s national dish. Flying fish, a species commonly found in Barbadian waters, is usually seasoned with herbs and spices, then either fried or steamed. It’s typically served with cou-cou, a smooth and creamy mixture of cornmeal and okra that is similar to polenta. This comforting dish is a favourite among locals and visitors alike.
Other Must-Try Bajan Dishes
While flying fish takes centre stage, Barbados is home to many other mouthwatering dishes, including:
- Pudding and Souse – A traditional Saturday meal made of pickled pork (souse) served with a sweet and spicy steamed sweet potato pudding.
- Macaroni Pie – A Caribbean take on mac and cheese, baked to perfection with cheddar, mustard, and spices.
- Pepperpot – A hearty and spicy stew made with slow-cooked meat, cassareep sauce, and hot peppers.
- Fish Cakes – Deep-fried balls of seasoned salt fish mixed with flour, herbs, and spices.
- Bajan Cutters – A delicious sandwich made with salt bread and stuffed with fillings like flying fish, ham, or cheese.
