Everyone Goes to the Fish Fry...
... for good food, fun and loud Caribbean music. The fish fry - just next to the Haynes library 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 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.Below is a nice view of the typical Fish Fry atmosphere. Just imagine some loud Bahamian or Caribbean music playing while viewing all the pictures on this page.

Here's busy and friendly JJ, cutting conch - an edible marine snail, pronounced as "konk" - to prepare the famous Bahamian conch salad. They say it's an aphrodisiac. Give it a try and you'll see...

There's food and drinks available, all at very reasonable prices.

The dark red liquid in the five gallon bottle above is the "world famous" Rum Bubbas. Have one while waiting for your food. And don't be in a hurry... There are so many people you can chat with. Or do you want to dance in the street? Sometimes it starts all by itself and everybody is having a ball. The effects of Rum Bubbas again?

Fish is being prepared on a kind of camp fire. And in smaller pans filled with oil, too, conch fritters are sizzling. Why not try them for starters together with a refreshing Bahamian Kalik beer?

Everyone is meeting here right on the sandy Caribbean beach, called Anchor Bay. Get in touch with the Fish Fry public. You'll be surprised what kind of folks come here... From friendly locals to Winter residents who have lived in Eleuthera for over 30 years to young tourists who are just discovering this amazing Out-Island of the Bahamas.

Here they all are. Some just came from dinner at the nearby Cigatoo restaurant and some are having a Fish Fry dinner and then go to Tippy's Atlantic beach restaurant for more nightlife, but this time with piano music at the famous bar.

Notice the sign above where a word is missing... "Every Friday 6 p.m. to 12. Don't forget the world famous" - oh, the Christmas tree is in the way. But by now you know what's world famous at Anchor Bay... Right, right, it's Rum Bubbas.
