Caribbean cuisine is a vibrant fusion of flavours, influenced by African, Indian, European, and Indigenous traditions. It’s characterised by bold spices, fresh ingredients, and hearty dishes.
Typical Caribbean Foods to Try
- Jerk Chicken
A Jamaican classic, jerk chicken is marinated in a spicy blend of Scotch bonnet peppers, thyme, allspice, and other seasonings, then grilled to smoky perfection. - Rice and Peas
A staple side dish, this dish combines rice with kidney beans or pigeon peas, cooked in coconut milk and flavoured with thyme and scallions. - Flying Fish and Cou-Cou
As Barbados' national dish, it features steamed or fried flying fish served with cou-cou, a polenta-like side made from cornmeal and okra. - Plantains
Fried or roasted plantains are a sweet and savoury accompaniment to many meals across the Caribbean. - Callaloo
This leafy green dish, often cooked with coconut milk and spices, is a popular side across the region.
