My hubby is a Native to Nassau and we frequent fish fry as its called. Its a great place to spend time on the beach and then grab a good meal with good Bahamian food which I must say is as the other traveler noted much, much, better than Senor Frogs. Its a short Inexspensive Taxi ride from the straw... more

Skip the usual touristy spots like Senor Frog's and take a cab to "Fish Fry." It is actually called Arawak Cay, but the locals call it Fish Fry. When you get there you will find several shack-looking restaurants. At this point you might want to leave, but don't. My recommendation is a place called "Oh Andros." Many locals say it's... more

Arawak Cay (a/k/a "Fish Fry") is the best place to go to eat where the locals eat.

Try conch salad at Seafood Haven on Arawak Cay. Prices are reasonable and the food is great. Eating is expensive on the island but you will get value for your dollar here. Go upstairs for the view. Clean establishment. Alfred Butterfield is proud owner and will make you welcome. His place has a doorman to admit only desireable customers. Closed... more
