Dian Bay recipes - something new for your family?
The beautiful island of Antigua is endowed with many traditional culinary specialties. Even the region's local fruits and vegetables have tastes and textures uniquely their own. Antigua's local favorites include the black pineapple (an extra-sweet pineapple), green figs (bananas), breadfruit, christophene, goat water, barbecue chicken, roast suckling pig, and cockles. Familiar fresh fruit is always abundant and includes mangoes, papayas, melons, oranges, grapefruits, bananas, soursop, and coconuts. Salted codfish, usually served with tomato sauce, is a mainstay of Antiguan dining. While saltfish and sauce is popular, many fresh catches from the sea are available to sample. Most fish dishes are served blackened. Other popular seafood includes shrimp, spiny lobster, red snapper, mahi mahi (locally known as dolphin), shark, conch, and octopus. The catch of the day is always worth trying. Despite the widespread popularity of European and American cuisines on Antigua, travelers will find most chefs prefer to add West Indian flair to continental dishes whenever possible. Meanwhile, adventurous diners may want to try traditional Caribbean fare at roadside stands. These dishes often include items like roti: Pancakes filled with curried beef, chicken, or potatoes. When dining as the locals do, be sure not to miss out on: Ducana - grated sweet potato mixed with coconut, sugar, and spices steamed in a banana leaf; Pepperpot stew - a mix of salted beef and pork with squash, okra, aubergine, spinach, pumpkin, and cornmeal dumplings; Fungi (sometimes Fungee) - a cornmeal-and-okra pudding often served with pepperpot stew; Souse - pork marinated in lime juice, onions, hot and sweet peppers, and spices; Callaloo - a spinach soup flavored with cloves or crab.
