Our Top 3 Easter Favorites
Hot Cross Buns
This is a spicy, yet sweet bun containing raisins and decorated with a cross symbolizing the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. You can't beat indulging in a lovely, sticky hot cross bun.
Sere
This is a fish soup which gets its flavor from fried fish, coconut milk, and plantain. Similar to the traditional Garifuna dish Hudut, Sere is a delicious hearty soup perfect for Good Friday when abstaining from meat.
Whole Fried Fish
Nothing beats a fresh catch! Snapper and Grouper, whether served fried, baked, or grilled, are a popular choice. This tasty catch, topped with a spicy hot habanero pepper and onion sauce, is usually served with sides such as rice and beans, or white rice and stew beans and potato salad or coleslaw.
