Images: Flying Fish
The warm waters around Barbados abound with silvery-blue flying
fish. When the fish run plentifully, they sell very cheaply--sometimes 8 for a
dollar. This plentiful, inexpensive natural product has become something of a staple
for Bajans and visitors alike. Many Bajans serve cou-cou with the flying fish.
Cou-cou is made from cornmeal and okra.
Fish markets abound in coastal cities such as Oistins and
Bridgetown. One of the most numerous (and cheapest) crops is flying fish, which
women and men prepare before selling.
