Lorna and Don – my amazing hosts
If you are ever in Kingston make an effort to head out to Port Royal to Gloria’s Fish Place. You will understand why people come for miles to sample the array of fish on offer.
Escovich fish – could only manage the small one, asked for a box to take the big one home but gave it to a man who asked for it as we were leaving
I had the Escovish fish with fried bammy*, my firend the garlic prawns also with fried bammy, and her husband the steamed goat fish with seamed bammy. (I didn’t realise you could steam bammy).
Steam fish and bammy
The place was heaving when we got there, and although we had placed our order half an hour before we arrived it still took 45 minutes before we got it.
Me, Lorna and a host of other people at Gloria’s all there to enjoy the fish
The wait gave us a chance to catch up with a couple of my friend’s husbands friends –also out there to eat fish. They were two brothers who are both doctors at the University of the West Indies; named Disraeli and Clinton.
*Bammy – a round cake made of ground cassava.
