“Food is not just eating energy; it’s an experience.”

Guy Fieri has beautifully encapsulated the simplest pleasures of life, and we couldn’t agree more with him.

Food has always been a source of nourishment for the body. Each bite not only replenishes your appetite but also the soul, taking all five senses on a delightful journey to cloud nine.

But do you know, it’s not just the flavors that make you crave more, but the alluring aroma and vibrant colors of nature's bounty contribute to this zestful journey.

From the local catch of the day & seafood linguine to baked salmon & giant shrimp, the diverse and tantalizing variety of seafood dishes available in the restaurants of Cayman is a culinary adventure waiting for you to explore.

Let’s make you taste the temptation through words. Join us on a food parade as we march down the streets of savor. 

Seafood Glory: Taste Fresh & Delicious Delights in the Tropics

Spicy Shrimp Curry

It’s lip-smacking, juicy, and everyone’s favorite.

Spicy Shrimp Curry is an aromatic South Asian and Southeast Asian cuisine that will make your taste buds dance to the rhythm of its versatile flavors. The dish has onions, garlic, ginger, tomatoes, and coconut milk, seared until fragrant with authentic spices like turmeric, salt, cumin powder, garam masala, and chili powder.

This best food in the Cayman Islands is typically enjoyed with steamed rice, naan or roti, and side of fresh salad, pickles & raita. While this recipe remains the classic, different regions around the world cook it with love and in their twist by adding chunks or puree of pineapple to the dish, adding a touch of sweetness and balancing the spiciness.

Seafood Linguine

Seafood linguine will transport you to the vivacious neighbourhoods of Italy, and every bite will elicit an enthusiastic "divino" from your mouth.

This Italian staple is loaded with shrimp, clams, mussels, scallops, and calamari, which are cooked either in arrabbiata or bechamel sauce, commonly known as alfredo sauce, and with other ingredients like white wine, garlic, and olives.

For the final touches, chefs in waterfront restaurants of Cayman top the dish up with fresh herbs and grated parmesan cheese. Seafood linguine is served alongside a simple green salad, garlic bread or steamed vegetables. Novice and seasoned drinkers can pair it with Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, or Chardonnay pair to elevate the flavors to the next level.

Baked Salmon

Packed with flavors and nutrients, baked salmon will become a go-to meal for gastronomes and health-conscious individuals alike. Salmon is rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, high in protein, and abundant with vitamins and minerals like B12, D, A, selenium, potassium, and iron.

This hearty dish is prepared by seasoning the salmon with oil, lemon juice, garlic cloves, dill, thyme, rosemary, and numerous other spices. Post marination, it is baked in a preheated oven to 375°F or 190°C for 12 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the filet.

Roasted or steamed vegetables, sautéed spinach or kale, grilled zucchini or bell peppers, mashed potatoes or sweet potatoes, rice, quinoa or couscous, mixed green salad with a light vinaigrette, caesar salad, cucumber, and dill salad are some of the fantastic accompaniments which can be savored with this best dinner in Grand Cayman.  

Seared Diver Sea Scallops

Sweet, bold, and tender are the synonyms of Seared Diver Sea Scallops.

It is an excellent source of lean protein, low in saturated fat, and has vitamins & minerals like B12, magnesium, and potassium.

The hand harvested scallops are seared in a hot pan with some oil or butter for 1.5 to 2 minutes on each side and then side aside to rest. They are plated over a creamy risotto with a squeeze of lemon and sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or chives.

Asparagus, brussels sprouts or pea puree can also be fantastic companions to the dish.

Chilean Sea Bass

Chilean Sea Bass or Patagonian Toothfish is an intense and zestful fish which is prized for its luxurious texture and flavors that is not only relished as weeknight supper but also on special occasions like get-togethers, weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, and many other events in the Cayman Islands & around the world.

Chilean Sea Bass can be cooked with various methods, including pan-searing, baking, roasting, or grilling, and is often seasoned with a blend of salt, pepper, garlic, lemon, dill, parsley, and thyme.

Enhance the flavors of the dish by coupling it with steamed vegetables, rice, quinoa, or a fresh bowl of salad.

Local Catch of the Day

Locally caught fishes like snapper, grouper, trout, shrimp, lobster or crab are prepared using diverse cooking techniques like grilled, pan-seared, baked or even raw such as sushi, with a hint of salt, pepper, and aromatic herbs.
