Oistins on a Friday night is an opportunity to immerse yourself in some true Bajan culture. An authentic Barbados tradition that has intertwined with inquisitive tourists. A lively open-air, beachfront ‘cook-up’ where music, dancing and most importantly, beautiful food come together. An eclectic mixture of locals and tourists.

Food stalls and barbeque grills line the street on one side and the beach on the other, selling THE best seafood. Friends congregate around the casual benches, catching up on the island events and slamming dominoes. A party atmosphere is a good way to describe it.  However, the food at the Oistins fish fry is always the main draw for locals and visitors alike. The aromas of fresh but perfectly seasoned fish being expertly sizzled on open grills is just incredible.

Dancing is a must at the fish fry. Even if you’re not the most natural of movers, the infectious beats find their way into the soles of your feet. Remember there are a few stalls with local vendors selling jewellery, pottery, ceramics, leather craft, clothing, accessories and original paintings and prints, the perfect souvenirs!
