 VISIT OISTINS FISH FRY For one of the most iconic food spots in the Caribbean, look no further than Oistins Fish Fry in Barbados. This lively, sense- overloading market pulls in locals and visitors en masse every Friday and Saturday night, with freshly caught seafood cooked in every way imaginable, plus local bands, handicrafts and other produce on offer at cheap-as-chips prices.


“The atmosphere is fantastic with locals getting up to perform, and it’s easy to get to from hotels on the south and west coast using local buses,” says Phillippa Philpot, travel expert at Premier Holidays. “We’d highly recommend it for an authentic experience.” Book it: Premier Holidays offers seven nights’ all-inclusive at Turtle Beach by Elegant Hotels (just over a mile from Oistins) from £1,589 per person, based on two adults travelling in June. trade.premierholidays.co.uk
