Nassau is a perfect place to discover the traditional Bahamian cuisine. Regional cuisine is sure to impress fans of seafood, exotic fruits, and rare delicacies that are only found here. At a certain period, the formation of local cooking traditions was greatly influenced by British, Caribbean and African cuisines. Most of the popular dishes are prepared from seafood and seasonal vegetables. Another important component of local gastronomy is spices, which are added to virtually all dishes.
At local restaurants, be sure to try lobster, in the preparation of which Bahamian chefs have reached incredible heights. Tortoise soup had been one of the local specialties for many years until it lost its former popularity in recent years. The number of turtles has decreased drastically and the reptile reached the verge of extinction. Such unfavorable changes inspired fans of high gastronomy to refuse cooking the exotic dish. Today, tortoise soup can be tasted only in a few restaurants.
