Cou-Cou and Flying Fish 🇧🇧🐟
- Flying fish is usually lightly seasoned, steamed, or fried, and served with a rich sauce made from onions, tomatoes, herbs, and spices.
- Cou-cou is a smooth, polenta-like side dish made from cornmeal and okra, stirred constantly to achieve its signature silky texture.
This dish reflects Barbados’ island identity: the flying fish symbolizes the surrounding Caribbean waters, while cou-cou shows West African culinary influence.
