The best fish sandwich!
July 15, 2007
Yesterday, the Travel Channel featured the cuisine from my country of birth; Trinidad & Tobago; including what the host said was the “best fish sandwich in the world”, known to locals as ‘Bake and Shark’.
To put it simply, a Bake and Shark Sandwich is a fried dough pocket, filled with shark nuggets. The sandwich is complete when you add tamarind chutney, coleslaw, marinated cucumbers, pineapple chunks, garlic sauce and mango chutney.
Sounds delicious eh? Wanting to have one myself, I called up a couple friends and we headed to Teddy’s Roti Shop. There, they have some of the best Caribbean food in the DC area.
Funny thing, when we got to the restaurant, there were two other people who saw the same television program and went there to get some Bake and Shark too! It’s that great tasting!
Promise me one thing, before you die, have a Bake and Shark Sandwich. It rocks!
From my heart, to yours,

A new fancy header? And I won’t promise that. PSH. Not after your country stealing our fish.
lol…dude…don’t even go there. You know the Courts ruled that its our fish!
To the other readers: Jay is talking about a dispute involving Trinidad and Tobago (T&T) and her neighbor, Barbados where they were trying to claim ownership to some T&T’s oil wealth and fish.
The absurdity of the the claim resulted in the courts (quite justifiably) ruling in T&T’s favor.
