A Feast by the Sea in the Bahamas - AFAR

"A lively cluster of colorful stands, food trucks, and a few larger restaurants just a short drive from downtown Nassau, this spot is open six days a week and is best experienced on weekend evenings when live bands and junkanoo dancers add to the party. Visitors can stroll and sample local favorites like conch salad, conch fritters, and fish prepared “cracked” (egg-and-flour battered) or steamed, alongside classic sides such as macaroni and cheese, potato salad, pigeon peas and rice, and plantains. Drinks include popular local beers and frothy rum-based cocktails; stalls are generally cash-only, hours run roughly noon to 11 p.m., and prices are surprisingly reasonable." - AFAR

Fresh seafood and Conch salad! Enjoyed the brisk mile and a half walk from the cruise ships. Twin Brothers was closed for refurbishment. Went next door and enjoyed fresh conch salad. The neighboring restaurants are Very competitive and almost cut throat. They try to stear you into their restaurant! There are many choices to choos from with fish, seafood and fritters!

We were expecting more of an open market type of environment, kind of like food trucks but with stationary grills instead. It's really just a row of a ton of restaurants. But it really is the best food on the island, and at better prices than the fancy hotel restaurants or the ones downtown by the ships. Try Joey's for awesome red snapper and amazing drinks, and Frankie goes Bananas (but don't get the conch fritters there, no conch in them). But DONT MISS BRUNO'S. Best food anywhere on the island. The grilled conch stew was so filled with conch you couldn't even see the bowl. The conch fritters were filled with conch. And they have an AWESOME breakfast at the best deal on the island.

This area is a small walkable street that has several restaurants to choose from. This is a party atmosphere. There were both locals and tourists here. We were with children and I do not think I would return with them. This is better for adults.

Amazing location if you like being amongst the locals. We ate at Twin Brothers. We ate fresh Conch salad, pulled from the shell and made right in front of our eyes. We ate outside in the beautiful weather with the locals just chatting it up and having a good time. It is just a short walk away from the cruise terminal but cabbies are waiting in droves for your business as well. Some of our fellow cruisers ate here too but did so inside with the actual restaurant and all they ate were wings. Why come to an iconic location to get wings??

Outstanding remarkable piece of history Arawak Cay has been. Great memories of fun days and nights out on the fry. No matter if be just to grab a bite or a salad or a drink or two lol. Just the bare essence of " being on the fry" is home warming. Nevertheless it caters to all ages and there's always "something to see when you aint looking!"

Nice spot. Aimed at tourists, not many locals. Food was good, a little pricy
