It's my 2nd time in Bim and on our first night we waddled off tired, hot and bothered from the plane to a relaxing nosh of these wonderful fishcakes. They don't serve Banks, but the stall next to them do, so when they want 10 bajan bucks for 4 Banks and it's only 75 cents for a fat ball of... More

Where's the fish??!!! The breading was bland and starchy. Horrible fishcakes! The only heat was from the pepper in the batter, they were barely room temperature. Not worth the money at all.....

I remember the day when I first discovered this little gem called Hot Legendary Fish Cakes. Their most popular outlet is at Oistins Bay Gardens in Christ Church. The fish cakes cost only $0.75 BBD and they are absolutely delicious. Full of salted cod, herbs such as thyme and marjoram as well as onions and flour. I hereby declare Hot... More

Almost thought I was back home on Canada and got a plain old fashioned timbit at Timmy's. I think they forgot to put the fish in the batter. We had a dozen of them and no one found any fish to speak of. Not so legendary. We have had them in previous visits to the island and didn't have that... More

Fish cakes in Barbados are out of this world. They are the best I have ever tasted. My husband and son loved them too! These are a must try when you are in Barbados.

Tasty fish cakes but where's the salt fish? We are ruining our traditions by not adhering to the original recipes...just put more fish and all will be well! That's when you get five points.

I love the atmosphere at this stand, but that's about it. The place seems popular, and it's a very local menu. The hot cakes are served hot, but I'd hardly call them legendary. Eating one, I couldn't tell what it was. It could have just as easily been a piping hot zeppole (fried dough ball) from an Italian street fair.... More
