Flavors of Antigua

Part of exploring a new place is discovering the food of the area. Saint John’s and Barbuda is on the Caribbean Sea, so seafood is a very popular ingredient in many dishes. An authentic breakfast is salt fish/chop-up/fungee. Salt fish is salt-cured, chopped up pieces of dried whitefish that is sauteed with onions and peppers. Chop-up is a mash okra, pumpkin, eggplant, and spinach. Fungee is like a polenta made from cornmeal. All of these flavors pair well together. For something really different, try a drink made with sea moss at Wholefoods&Deli, a vegan deli. The drink combines dried and blended sea moss with ice, milk, and sweetners. It’s refreshing and healthy. Check out these flavors and more during your holiday! Reserve your Airbnb to stay in Saint John’s, Antigua and Barbuda!
