Fish, conch, land crabs, and rock lobster—called crawfish by the locals—have long been the bedrock of local cuisine.

Fish, conch, land crabs, and rock lobster—called crawfish by the locals—have long been the bedrock of local cuisine. Although a few menus, mostly in upscale resorts, feature dishes with international influences, most restaurants in the Abacos still serve simple Bahamian fare, with a few nods to American tastes. There are some fancier restaurants in Marsh Harbour, Treasure Cay, and Hope Town, but most restaurants are relaxed about attire and reasonably priced. Some offer live music, and shape the nightlife scene on weekends.
Hang out, take a dip in the saltwater pool, and enjoy Bahamian fare with a flair. In Black Sound, at the entrance to the Other Shore Club and Marina, you'll find this simple open-air restaurant with a canopy-shaded bar and picnic tables next to the pool. If you're on a boat you can tie up at their small dock. Some of the best conch fritters in the islands are served from 11:30 am on. At lunch, try a fresh salad or spicy jerk chicken; for dinner, grilled daily-caught fish. The jerk-spiced grouper is sensational. Specialty drinks include a Pineapple Smash and a Yellowbird, both capable of mellowing your mood. Piña coladas here are world-famous.
Breakfast and lunch are served harborside on a covered, screened-in patio, while dinner takes place in the elegant dining room. At lunch, treat yourself to a lobster salad, lobster corn chowder, cheeseburger, or grilled grouper sandwich. Dinner is where the club really shines, transporting you back to the 1920s with elegant dining beneath antique chandeliers. The steak is among the best around. The jumbo lobster and artichoke ravioli, crispy grouper with Thai red curry noodles, and black and white tuna are just some of the temptations on the extensive menu. For dessert, try the guava crème brûlée.
The wooden deck at this casual restaurant was built around the wrecking tree, a place where 19th-century wrecking vessels brought their salvage. Today it's a cool place to linger over a cold Kalik and a hearty lunch of some of the best cracked conch you'll find anywhere, fish-and-chips, or zesty conch salad. Order delicious pastries to take back to your hotel. Dinner is served Friday and Saturday only.

Tender cracked conch
Interesting history
Lovely spot to watch the comings and goings of New Plymouth
This casual eatery on the water in the Bluff House Marina offers tasty meals for breakfast and dinner. Sitting under an umbrella on the deck is the best way to enjoy the view of the sailboat-filled harbor, but you can also eat in the air-conditioned pub-style dining room. Menu choices range from standard Bahamian (conch fritters and burgers) to new American (spinach stuffed Abaco Big Bird chicken breast, salads with blue cheese and roasted vegetables). You can also enjoy a rum drink from the bar while catching some rays at the pool.
Order takeout to carry with you or grab one of the picnic tables on the harborside beach across the street to enjoy your lunch or dinner. The menu is a simple mix of American and Bahamian fare, including ribs, wraps, pasta dishes, and burgers. The menu changes daily.
Bay St., Green Turtle Cay, Great Abaco Island, Bahamas
Dine poolside overlooking the Leeward Yacht Club marina at this casual bar and grill. The grilled lobster or fresh catch (which can be jerked, blackened, grilled, or fried) are popular menu choices, as are the conch burger and the grilled conch fritters. Wash it all down with a potent green Leaning Lizard and feel free to cool off in the pool.
Leeward Yacht Club, Green Turtle Cay, Great Abaco Island, Bahamas
At this simple diner-style restaurant, lunch means excellent renditions of local favorites, such as fried grouper and cracked conch, and sandwiches made with thick slices of a slightly sweet Bahamian bun. At dinner, large portions of pork chops, lobster, fish, and shrimp are served with rib-sticking sides like baked macaroni and cheese, peas 'n' rice, and coleslaw. Save room for a piece of rum cake or key lime pie with gravity-defying meringue piled on top, baked fresh daily and displayed in the glass case up front.
