What is the local cuisine in trinidad & tobago? Is fish expensive on the island?

Answer 1

I can tell you about Trinidad cuisine. I'm not keen on Tobago Cuisine.

The Trinidad national dish is:

Pelau - http://recipes.caribseek.com/Trinidad_an...

Other great local dishes include:

Doubles: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doubles_(fo...

Roti: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roti

Pulori: A sweetened rounded ball of fluffy fried dough that is often dipped in sweet/spicy tamarind sauce or mango chutney.

Aloo pie: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aloo_pie

Browned-Down Stew

Trinidad and Tobago are both Caribbean Islands. Fish in not scarce in certain areas.

Answer 2

Local cuisine is normally fried jellyfish marinated 'ala' Tom Conner's. another speciality is the codfish. You should check it out. Fish is expensive as t&t is no where near the ocean, and fish is scarce. Just ask for the Cod special, and you will be in for a surprise.
