Everyone Goes to the Fish Fry...For good food, fun and loud Caribbean music. The fish fry - just next to the Haynes library - view map - in Governor's Harbour is the place of attraction where black and white, young and old, rich and poor meet. Every Friday evening there's great Bahamian nightlife here. What's On Offer & When Does It Start?From about 8 p.m. in the Winter you can get excellent deep fried fish and grilled chicken. Both come with either peas and rice or potato salad and cold slaw.Everyone is meeting here right on the sandy Caribbean side beach, named Anchor Bay. Get in touch with the Fish Fry public. You'll be surprised what kind of folks come here... Friendly locals, Winter residents who have lived in Eleuthera for over 30 years or young tourists who are just discovering this amazing Out-Island of the Bahamas. While viewing all the pictures on this page, imagine some loud Bahamian or Caribbean music playing.
Have one while waiting for your food. And don't be in a hurry. There are so many people you can chat with.
Punch, ginger ale, pineappple juice, lemon juice and light rum. Give it a try but be careful. I have known a woman who was sick for more than a day after 3 Bubbas!
Here they all are. Some just came from dinner at a restaurant and others are having a typical Fish Fry meal before they go to Tippy's Atlantic side bar for more nightlife. BTW, Tippy's offers piano music at its famous bar where you'll meet all kinds of foreigners.
Junkanoo originated in the Bahamas around the 17th century as a masquerade. Slaves, their faces hidden under a flour paste, celebrated December 26, the day after Christmas.
Notice the sign above where a word is missing in the last sentence "Every Friday 6 p.m. to 12. Don't forget the world famous..." Heck, the Christmas tree is in the way. But by now you surely know what's world famous at Anchor Bay. Right, right, Rum Bubbas.
