Bahamas

Ask what the Bahamas eats and the answer starts with this: conch every way—cracked, frittered, in citrusy salad—alongside peas n’ rice and rum-splashed sweets. Look for Cracked conch (pounded conch battered and fried, with peas n’ rice), Conch salad (raw conch diced with citrus, peppers, onion) and Boiled fish (grouper broth with lime, onion, potato; eaten with grits). Queen conch pounded tender, battered and fried; conch is the national food and its fishery is limited by closed seasons and export rules. This atlas has 26 Bahamas dishes catalogued below, from everyday cooking to food kept for festivals and special occasions.
