Barbados @ 50 - Fried Fish Roe

As a lover of seafood, especially fish, I have enjoyed eating fish roe (fish eggs) when cooked in a curry. However, one day, on a trip to one of the fish markets in Barbados, I spotted packets of fresh, cleaned fish roe at several stalls and enquired about them. I was told that they are the fish roe of one of Barbados' most popular and well-loved fish - mahi mahi.

B'dos @ 50 Food Photo Project

I am Guyanese. 18 years ago I moved to Barbados to work in a regional organisation. I still live and work in beautiful Bim. As many of you know, one of the best ways to get to know a place is through its food. Over the years, it has been exciting, enlightening and interesting exploring the food ways of Barbados.

Like Guyana, Barbados is also marking its 50th anniversary of independence this year - November 30th. As part of the observation, I am going to be doing another 50-day food photo project. The countdown starts tomorrow. This is Bajan food through my eyes, prepared by me. I hope that you'll come feast with your eyes, here on the blog, via Facebook and Twitter.
