Chef Tim Tibbitts is the owner of Flying Fish Restaurant in Freeport,
Bahamas recently provided his Bahamian favourites to the popular travel guide FIND. EAT. DRINK. (FED)
FED is an insider’s travel guide for food and drink. It is a unique guide based on eating, drinking and shopping, recommendations from chefs, sommeliers, bartenders, winemakers, baristas, butchers, pitmasters and food artisans – and includes everything from restaurants worth going out of your way to experience, to speakeasy cocktail dens and dive bars, to unique food shops and farmers markets.
FIND. EAT. DRINK. has been recognized in multiple top-tier publications as a “go-to” source for real restaurant and travel recommendations, including: Condé Nast Traveler, CNN, Business Insider, The New York Times and more.
FED asked Chef Tibbitts to talk about a few of his favorites as travellers are travelling this way more this time of year.
Tibbitts was born in Nassau, Bahamas, and grew up in Toronto, Canada. After
many years working in high-end kitchens in Toronto, he moved back to the
Bahamas to open and run a modern Asian restaurant and sushi bar. In
2012, he opened Flying Fish which was awarded the 4 Diamond Rating by
AAA.
In his review he clears up a certain misnomer, lists places he takes visiting chefs to dine or drink, and explains the benefits of being a Caribbean chef.
Chef Tim writes,
The best thing about working as a chef in the Caribbean...
Here the words “fresh seafood” take on a whole new meaning compared with the rest of the world. Having boats pull right up to our floating dock to unload that day’s catches in front of guests is a really cool experience – and as an added bonus, it means we get the freshest product available.
Conch is our national seafood...
But it’s a very regional thing, depending which island you’re on. On Grand Bahama Island, we have many different preparations of classic conch salad. At Flying Fish we make our conch salad with local dragon fruit, pineapple, avocados and an island rum. For the best classic conch salad, head to the Chicken’s Nest in West End, Grand Bahama. They make the best conch fritters, too.
