"Culpepper’s, opened in 1998 by Winston Lewis, is one of the city’s very small collection of Barbadian (Bajan) restaurants. Since the pandemic, it’s takeout only so make a plan where you want to eat the excellent island food. Often identified as the national dish, the cou cou and flying fish consists of a cornmeal porridge shot with okra and said fish. Jerk specialties and pastries are also available." - Robert Sietsema
"Caribbean baked goods available for takeout from 7:30am to 8pm daily." - hannah albertine, nikko duren, bryan kim, arden shore, matt tervooren
"The national dish of flying fish and cou-cou ($22) starts with a cornmeal porridge dotted with flecks of okra very much like a West African fufu, and adds flying fish coated with spices and fried in batter." - Eater Staff
"Nestled on a corner with a bright blue and yellow storefront inspired by the Bajan flag, Culpepper’s is a casual spot for beach-inspired classics like accras - fluffy fried balls made with saltfish and West Indian seasonings. For a heartier meal, try the national dish, cou-cou, an Afro-Caribbean staple prepared with cornmeal, okra, and coconut milk served with flying fish in a brightly colored orange stew with hints of tomato, onion, and lime juice." - Shelley Worrell 31
