Are there really flying fish in Jamaica ?

Question

I have yet to see a flying fish in Jamaica but I saw it on this show The Girls Next Door when they went to Jamaica and Kendra saw the flying fish and all the girls were amazed. I want to see one for myself though. I wanna know if there's really any and where can I go to see one. Anyone know ?

Answer 1

Flying Fish I believe tend to stay closer to South America.... They feed on the plankton that flows into the Atlantic Ocean from Venezuela....

Flying Fish is a part of the National dish of Barbados.

They are symbolized all over that country.  On coins, in fountains, on buildings, in paintings, even on the emblem of the Barbados Tourism Authority... http://www.caribbeaninternationalfilmfes...

Etc....

The waters off Tobago (next to Barbados) also have lots of Flying Fish.  Note-- The flying fish jump in and out of the water mostly when they are trying to escape danger/predators.
