Antigua’s Saturday Treats
You may want to hop into your rental car and take a drive around the island of Antigua on a Saturday - great advice if your interest is in sampling local food. Saturday is the one day of the week when you are sure to find food stalls along various parts of the island selling authentic Antiguan food. BBQ is a favourite, be it chicken or pork, so is goat water and conch water. You’ll find soup with dumplings and salted meat; chicken served with rice; ling fish; fungee (polenta); fritters; chop-up (vegetables cooked the Antiguan way); blood pudding; pig-foot souse and many other island delicacies.
