How about the cuisine of the Bahamas? It's so exotic and tasty!

Travelling to new places or even just sampling their foods can be an interesting diversion from your everyday meals. It's enjoyable to sample various local flavors and tastes.

The Bahamas has long been known for its delectable local dishes. The people include ingredients like conch, guava and peppers. The cuisine of this tropical area was influenced by the cooking style and dishes of the Southern United States.

Some Bahamian dishes are similar to ones found elsewhere in the Caribbean, like fresh and delicious seafood and peas & rice. The other dishes in the Bahamas are not found anywhere else.

Seafood is front and center on most menus in the Bahamas and in most kitchens, too. The lovely waters that surround these islands offer up many types of seafood and shellfish, like conch. Bahamians have been cooked there for many years.

Conch especially is used in many Bahamas dishes, from ceviche to salads and chowders. It's cooked after batter-frying, too. Read on and learn more about Bahamas cuisine.
