As Alvin, our cabdriver, said in barely comprehensible, Caribbean-accented English, "If you go to Maracas Beach and don't have bake and shark, you haven't gone to Maracas Beach." (Except he said something more like "IyagotaMaaraacaasBichndawntavebekenshark, yoohavantgoontaMaaraacaasBich." He was also a fan of the phrase "what really happened.") He recommended Patsy's, which was conveniently by (but not too close to) the showers and bathrooms
Bake and shark is fried fishy-something on a delicious breadroll bun. I would assume at least some of it is shark, though any assorted fish could be in it. There is then a buffet of fresh, delicious toppings and sauces.
I want one every day for lunch. There are enough combinations of sauces and toppings for me to indulge this whole trip. I only hope the beaches in Tobago have them!
