Fish Friday in Gouyave

We had a new experience tonight! We went to Fish Friday in Gouyave! We had lots of fun and good food!!! Fish Friday is kind of like a street festival they have every Friday in Gouyave, a small fishing village on the island located right on the ocean. They close down a couple of streets in the center of town and the town's people set up little tents to sell food from, obviously from the name most of the food they sell is fish. We were both a little worried whether we would like the food or not, but it was really good! We had shrimp stir fry, lobster stir fry, a fish sandwich and for dessert local ice cream(called Sugar and Spice). We had chocolate ice cream and nutmeg ice cream, the nutmeg ice cream was different but pretty good. The bus ride to Gouyave was rather scary (and long it took about an hour to get there), we were on a big bus traveling around sharp curves on steep hills with a crazy speeding bus driver! But, we made it there and back safe and sound...No Worries! Here are a few pictures.....


This picture was taken out the window of the bus...this is the one highway on the island. Notice there are no lines on the road but it has two lanes going both ways!


This is the booth where we both the shrimp stir fry and lobster stir fry. The cook is about to cut the lobster in half and boil it in the big pot.
Same booth from previous picture. Lots of lobster in the bucket!!

This is the booth where we got the fish sandwich...lots of people waiting in line!


These next two pictures are of the street. You can see all the people in the street, it was very crowded! You can also see the tents set up.

I plan to get a few more pictures from a friend. I will post those when I get them!
