AFTER five successful years at the Children’s Park in The Bight, the popular island Fish Fry will be relocated to a more spacious venue.
Premier Sharlene Cartwright Robinson said that the new location is a three acre lot, adjacent to Beaches Resort and Spa in Providenciales.
She said: “Moving ahead with the home for The Bight Fish Fry, the tender has been completed for that one.”
This information was shared during last Tuesday’s (June 6) town hall meeting at the Gus Lightbourne Sports Complex.
Members of the crowd were sceptical about the parking space at the mentioned new venue, but the Premier assured that the location is suitable enough to host the event.
The date for the relocation has not been announced.
The Fish Fry is a collaborative effort between the Turks and Caicos Tourist Board, the Department of Culture, the Department of Environment and Maritime Affairs and Flow.
The event has been growing week by week, enticing locals and visitors alike to experience an evening in the park in a fun, family style setting.
Plates loaded with crab and rice, lobster mac and cheese and local island corn straight off the grill sit in front of hungry patrons relaxing on park benches under starry skies.
Local restaurants come from all corners of the island and include Froggie’s on da Beach, Kay Jo’s, Miss Moonies, Upstairs Bar and Grill, Hole in the Wall, Smokey’s on da Bay, Cactus Bar and Grill, Uncle Dough’s Salad Bar, Middle Caicos Café, Bugaloo’s Conch Crawl, Doreen’s Place, Sailing Paradise, Native Cuisine and Three Queens – with each offering up their specialty menu items and the opportunity to try one or all.
Each week a new band takes the stage with rotations by local favourites Lee and the Force, Sea Breeze Rip Saw Band, Keno and Kazz, Alroy and Daz, Kew Band Lynx and V6 Rake n Scrape Band to bring to the venue a variety of styles and sounds and keep the line-up fresh.
