Island flavor

Start with the Fish Fry

The Bahamas Ministry of Tourism calls the Fish Fry at New Bight a great starting point for Cat Island dining. Across the island, family-run restaurants and resort kitchens focus on local seafood, Bahamian staples and casual island atmosphere.

Hours can be seasonal and change without notice. On a Family Island, calling ahead is always smart.
