Really Fresh Prawns

July 12, 2009

Working at a remote fishing lodge like BC West means that your culinary opportunities are somewhat limited. You can’t just jump in the car and head out for a fine dining experience or even go to a grocery store to pick up something tasty to cook at home. With that said we do have some [...]

Kalik – Beer of the Bahamas

July 3, 2009

Mike Sanders likes Kalik. Photo: Ric Fogel/Sportfolio One of our favorite things about fly fishing is that it’s an excuse for us to visit some far-flung, authentic, rural parts of the world.

Rum and Tonic

May 16, 2009

Yum. One of the most popular drinks at the Slack Tide Bar at Andros South is a Bahamas classic – the rum and tonic. If you’re new to the Bahamas, the combination might sound a little strange, but think about it– it’s a Caribbean nation so that means there’s rum around, and it’s a former [...]

Conch Salad

March 18, 2009

Norman makes a mean conch salad. South Andros is one of the most unspoiled islands in the Bahamas. We’re surrounded by a pristine marine environment, and that means not only incredible bonefishing, but…fresh seafood! During your week at Andros South, you might eat snapper, grouper, crawfish or dorado, but you’ll definitely have some conch salad. [...]
