Arrived early, around 4.30, so not much happening. Went with friends who aren't fish lovers, only went so I could experience it. Had a walk around, had a few beers, checked out some of the stalls selling shoes, jewelry etc. Started getting very busy as the sun set. I enjoyed what I saw but didn't buy/eat any food as no one else wanted to eat. I will definitely try it again next time but will go on my own. Its a definite if you like fish, the smells from the bbq fish was amazing.

Went here first Friday in December. Atmosphere is great, lots of crowds, music, entertainment. Lots of tourists about and the prices are higher than I’ve seen quoted in some travel guides so think they’ve capitalised on the tourists in recent years. Menus at all the places are quite similar - we ate at Yvonne’s, which has a few bad mentions on here - but the food was really good, decent portion of fish, cooked fresh on BBQ in front of us. Served with sides which were also nice. BUT either the rum punch was a tiny glass for 20 dollars or they added a service charge to our bill as for 2 punches and 2 fish platters it was 115 dollars. Which is £~50. So not a cheap night out! Would go back but probably try a different place and/or just go for food and not a drink!

We loved this Not everyone will as you have to wait ages for food but it's all about the atmosphere as well as the food. We met some nice people to chat to. while we waited for our food. Bajans don't eat fish like we do in the UK. It's not fishy. They soak it in lime and salt water and it becomes more of a meaty texture. (no fishy smell if you are not keen on fishy smells) I loved it and I love all fish anyway however its cooked. Pries were reasonable. And there's some market stalls too with some Bajans selling their wares. We just really enjoyed the whole atmosphere but if you don't like crowds, don't go on a Friday - the rest of the week is much quieter.

I went to Oistin's Friday Night Fish Fry with some friends on a girls' trip (weekend away). It was a good outdoor activity, There are quite a few stalls from which to choose your meal along with a DJ and live outdoor music which prompts spontaneous dancing. It can be a bit noisy depending on where you sit but overall it was a nice experience. I would do it again.

We made our own way there using one of the many reggae buses, theyre small mini buses that toot their horns at you to see if you want a ride, they can get a bit crowded at about £1.50/journey its an experience. The fish fry area has a large number of stalls and bars cooking and serving the catch of the day. It is a very popular event which attracts a lot of people . There is a stage area where locals showoff there dancing skills and then come round with a hat for donations , this creates a great party atmosphere.

Maybe worth going for the ‘Friday night’ experience but not much else, it’s VERY busy and you need to be prepared to wait (possibly some time) for food and be hassled by touts trying to get you into their eateries. The food was ok but nothing special and I have a sneaky feeling they charge tourists more…. It didn’t bother me but there were drugs being openly smoked/sold so please be aware. We were later told that Thursday/Saturdays are the better nights to go - Friday is very much a ‘tourist trap’ in my opinion.

This is fun on a Friday night but don't expect too much as its a fairly small place but worth a visit. We eat at Mo's place which is next to the stage and next to Pat's place. Everyone says go to Pat's place but the queue is insane and the food at Mo's was really nice - I had tuna with coleslaw (awesome) and fries. My wife had the BBq chicken which was also lovely. We went from Sandals at about 5.30 on the ZR crazy buses (you must try them!) and probably stayed till about 8pm but the whole thing goes on till the early hours.

What an absolute treat of a night! Everyone that we know that has visited the island told us we had to go, so rather than book with a tour operator we used a local taxi, we were dropped right outside the gates and given some recommendations on where to eat. We chose Yvonne’s and certainly weren’t disappointed. The food was amazing as was the entertainment on the outdoor stage. Great music, great food and importantly lots of local rum.

A must do for everyone who visits Barbados! Fab music, incredible food....the choice is endless!...and great atmosphere. If travelling from a different part of the island like we did leave yourself extra time as the Friday traffic is bad... think it was because so many travel for the Fish Fry!

Definitely a must visit place, the atmosphere was great, lots of choices for food and drinks. Amazing people and just a good vibe. There are multiple vendors that offers a variety of food options and the prices are very reasonable.
