A vacation in the bahamas is incomplete without tasting the local cuisine that derives heavily from the islands’ abundant marine life. Mayaguana’s local cuisine does not disappoint a visit expectations of hearty seafood dishes and exquisite Bahamain sauces mixed together to satisfy a hungry island wanderer.

The native cuisine features a sampling of dishes made from what the locals call “land crabs.” These crabs are prepared as dumplings, boiled, or cooked in a soup-based dish and then served with rice or grits. Local cuisine also features a variety of conch preparations. Whether served as salads, cracked fresh, steamed, engulfed in thick chowder.
