Gouyave Fish Fry

Grenada Island


Gouyave is Grenada's fishing capital, a fact that is celebrated in style with the festive Friday Fish Fry. Local vendors grill and fry fresh fish right off the boat, and serve it up with local sides. It's as much a party as a dining experience, with most locals sticking around for a few drinks well after their meal is done.

It is located on the street behind the gas station in the center of town.
