OUR ISLAND GASTRONOMY

OUR GASTRONOMY

Our Island dishes are made with red snapper and other fishes, snails, lobsters and crab and/or snails. Served with coconut milk, plantain, cassava and others. The most famous and traditional dish is the Rondon, which is a kind of casserole cooked slowly in coconut milk, cassava, Yam, fish  and /or  snails and the dumplins(a bread like cake  made up of wheat flour-based), as basic seasoning   Sweet Basil is used and/or other herbs or spices.

We also have a great dish also seen in the coasts of Colombia, known as Fried fish with mashed plantains and coconut rice. This dish is accompanied with salad and/ or fried potatoes or boiled cassava or plantain.

Crab soup is alos one of our dishes here in the islands. It is made up of crabs, prepared in a little boiled water and takeing the fat of the crab to help season it! It is cooked with some coconut milk along with patatoes  or sweet potatoes , cassava, plantain and/ or mafafa (mariajuana). The meat of the crab is plucked out of its skeleton texture by putting it in warm water to loosen it.
