you are at the beach make sure to find the brightly painted “Gommiers”, (fishing boats crafted from a single tree trunk), which will catch the bounties of the sea that adorn your dinner table. Try the shrimp or cod fritters, octopus stew, a gratinée of minced conch (pronounced konk) or Christophine squash. Fish Colombo (curry) is a must, and follow everything with local bananas flambées or coconut flan in a caramel sauce. ~ Island Card (visiting Island L-77)
