I'm heading to the Bahamas on the Gem in a few weeks. I'd love to check out some authentic Bahamian food...can anyone recommend any good restaurants to check out? And any particular dishes that are good? I particularly love seafood...

Conch Fritters are always good.

Conch fritters are a favorite of mine. I've actually never had them in the Bahamas though. I like their chicken with peas and rice.

I haven't been to the Bahamas recently enough to recommend a restaurant. I do agree that conch, particularly conch fritters, are a must-have. Are plantains considered Bahamian, or would they be mainly Caribbean/Jamaican?

I'm not really sure. The Jamaican ladies that worked at the restaurant that I did, used to bring fried plantains to work often.
