Fish Is A Staple
Of Bermudians' Diet

PHYLLIS STEINBERG SPECIAL TO THE JEWISH NEWS

ish has always played an
important role in the diet
of Bermudians. In the old
days fisherman went
through the islands blowing a
conch shell to let everyone know
they were coming.
Today, residents of Bermuda
go to the flagpole on Front Street
in Hamilton, or to another dock
and wait for the fishing boats to
come in.
Bermudian fish recipes are
endless. Depending upon the fish,
they can be fried, boiled, steamed,
stewed or grilled. Nothing is
wasted as the fins and heads are
used to make fish chowder.
Some of the local fresh fish
in Bermuda are red snap-
per and tuna steak.
Many of the local vari-
eties offish are cooked
with onions, peppers,
parsley, thyme and
mustard greens. Be
sure to ask what's
fresh today if you vis-
it Bermuda.
Bermudian Cookery,
published by the Bermuda Ju-
nior Service League reflects the
interesting and varied diet of
Bermudians. It is available for
purchase at many of the stores
on the island.
Below are some recipes that
can be made in accordance with
the Jewish dietary laws.
