You have to go to fish fry when visiting Nassau ! If you want local cuisine , if you want to bump elbows with the local , and experience that island vibe , then you must try out fish fry street , it’s a street with local vendors and pubs and restaurants with all types of local fresh food , absolutely amazing , people are amazing , you can get there by bus or cab , if your coming from downtown Nassau cans should be no more that 10 bucks , there everywhere , if you take the bus which is my recommendation, just ask a local where you can catch the bus going to fish fry they will be more than happy to help , local busses are blue with a bit of green not very big more like a jitney , it will run you $1.50 one way they have change and accept American money so no worries and it’s maybe a 5 minute ride , my recommendation go to Goldie’s ! And sit by the water you won’t regret it!!!

Big Yard is a nice restaurant in the Fish Fry (Arawak Cay). The team at the restaurant are nice. I wanted to try Conch fritters but the girl taking our order informed us that Conch fritters are not available for the whole order but she can manage to get me a sample to try. And later she surprised us by bringing the whole order to please us. My husband ordered a chicken dish and it was also good. The drinks we ordered were good too. I ordered Shirley Temple a non-alcoholic drink and my husband ordered the local beer called Kalik. Which was mild in taste. The restaurant was an open air space and is good for family and small groups depending on its busy hours. Since the restaurant is I. Arawak Cay you will get a proper parking space. The restaurant is moderately priced. But if you will order combos or big meals then it may get a bit expensive.

Ate here Saturday, at the same exact time hours later my best friend and I were violently throwing up. We left with our plates 98% full, had less than 10 bites. And here I am on Tuesday back home and in the hospital because the food poisoning was so severe. Vomiting blood and stomach acid. On top of that, we obviously didn’t eat our food because it wasn’t appetizing. The only reason we ate there was because the man flagged us down from our taxi and said we’d get free shots if we go. Not sure everyone else’s experience but this is mine and I feel like this was attempted murder; I’d never thrown up so bad in my life.. in the picture you can see how dry the lobster (yes, that’s lobster) and shrimp are.

This is where we always eat now when in Nassau and at the fish fry. We have been to most of the restaurants at the fish fry, many are very good. The Big Yard has become our favorite. Lillian, the owner, treats us like royalty, remembers us and always seems grateful for our business. I have had plenty of things from their menu, but now we always just get conch(conk) fritters ($5.00)and a tropical conch salad($17.00). This is plenty for two people. Many people will try to get you into the various restaurants, don’t be put off by this. That is how they make a living.

Brief visit here while on a cruise. They say the “Fish Fry area is the place to go if you want good, fresh and authentic Bahamian food and I must agree. It’s a strip of restaurants serving all things Bahamian from fresh fish to conch to peas and rice and bbq. I tried a place called Big Yard. The food was DELICIOUS! Service fast and friendly and VERY strong drinks. I had fried conch with Mac n cheese and cole slaw. Conch was fresh and they have someone making fresh conch salad as you order and can watch them chop and prepare it. Definitely recommend.

Was looking for “the fish fry”, had no idea it was the area and not a restaurant. This place was not very good, the jerk lobster and shrimp entree.. the lobster was a weird mushy texture that did not taste good. The Mac and cheese was phenomenal! The pork chop was not good or bad, it was just pork chops with jerk sauce on top. And they were out of all chicken.. Would not recommend this place and would not return. But if you go, get the max and cheese and not the lobster.
