I stayed at the Wyndham that didnt offer any great food in my opinion. Luckily when I arrived on the island the cab driver told me for authentic Bahamian cuisine visit the Fish Fry. Everyday of my 4 day trip i rode the bus to the Fish Fry and enjoyed the great food, drinks and vibes. Ate at the anchor... More

This is a fun strip of fish fry restaurants. There are many to choose from but it's best to have a destination in mind before you get there so you don't get hassled to try all the different places. It has plenty of local flavor but is still tourist friendly. Easy access from Nassau and the hotels, with plenty of... More

Arawak Cay AKA The Fish Fry is located on West Bay St. just to the west of Junkanoo beach and nearby Adrastra Gardens and Zoo. I went in the evening around 9:00 and there were lots of people there. Like other reviews said, I felt that it was a good mix of tourists and local people. That's nice. If you... More

Conch fritters were ok at Twin brothers although the grouper fingers were amazing. I found their prices to be higher than what I would expected. More

There are many places to try here but all basically do the same thing, sell fried food. gets very busy Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. Twin brothers is a good one. Try conch (Pronounced conk salad) in Foxy's. Some play horrible ghetto music full blast. Don't eat Baracuda you might get Mercury poisoning. More

the island is really quite Americanized, so it was great to find a bit of local flavor in the clubs and restaurants at Fish Fry on Arawak Cay More

I thought Arawak Cay was okay. I thought it would be a little nicer. Some of the restaurants had very loud music. I don't know how people could eat in there. But Twin Brothers food was good but other than that there was nothing to see there. Well I guess you're there just to eat. More

A must! Whether lunch or dinner, be sure to try the conch(salad , fritters or 'cracked')..the best cracked conch on the island can be found at King's on the western end. More

The fish fry at Arawak Cay was a quick walk form our hotel and was a fun. Placebo go for drinks and dinner we ate at several places over the week we had in Nassau, we liked Twin Brothers the best. Try the whole fried Red Snapper. More

We stopped in Nassau Bahamas on 4/5/2012 from an NCL cruise and based on reviews we read of Arawak Cay we were determined to go there for some authentic cuisine. We walked from the cruise terminal at a leisurely pace it took a bit over 20 minutes. We got there around 1pm and it was empty...we thought everything was closed.... More
