.: Iguana Cafe

A brilliant shack on the water! Walking past Iguana Cafe you would never know it was a restaurant. When you walk in through the door there is a small cooking area to the left and two tables to the right. In order to dine here you have to call ahead, I've heard that they only open if they know ahead of time that people will be coming. The menu is 3 pages long with an array of seafood options.

Lobster, Fish of the Day, Octopus, Conch, Crayfish, Tuna.

There is a single woman and what I have assumed to be her lover that run the show... that is it! So, he takes the order while she cooks. All the seafood is fresh from the day- if the local fisherman didn't catch it, it is unavailable- another good reason to call ahead... in case you're craving something.

Side items and sauces are the outstanding aspects of the menu-

Choose between cous.cous or rice; alongside that you have a slaw, a stewed ground provision (breadfruit, plantains, dasheen) and a perfect serving of cabbage.

The sauces you choose from are: Pumpkin, Butter, or coconut. I would let the chef choose for you. And don't ask for all the sauces on the side so you can choose- that is annoying and just won't happen.

The same applies at Iguana Cafe as it does at Blue Bay and basically all of the local restaurants

- Come with an open mind! Leave your pampered, conditioned attitude at the door-

You are given bread with an amazing dish of butter and garlic and a separate dish of honey- incredible

Russ ordered the fish of the day- Jack Crevalle (would not recommend) with all the previously mentioned side items.

I had the Seafood Pasta with Lobster only- incredible, exactly what I wanted.

There are no pictures of our food because even after we discussed making sure to photograph our dishes we did not wait a second to start eating and after we were half way done we remembered.

So, it just looked too good and smelled too good to wait.
