  • You won't believe how incredible it is walking through this weekend market in Portsmouth, Dominica. Sampling Street Food while being led on the Ultimate Food Tour of Portsmouth. My guide is the ex mayor of Portsmouth and a local who showed me a real authentic Dominica Food Experience. Have you met Cassava Man? Once you try those delicious Cassava Cakes you will be instantly hooked.

    🇩🇲 More Dominica Videos: • Trying DOMINICA STREET...
    As I continued exploring the city of Portsmouth, Dominica, I was joined by a special guest: the former mayor, Julian Brewster. He welcomed me to Portsmouth on behalf of the community and teased the amazing things I’d see in the market.
    MARKET: We began our Saturday morning with a tour of the local market. We saw lots of produce vendors selling coconuts, plantains, breadfruit, and other fruits and vegetables. I tried some coconut water and tender coconut meat, and saw vendors butchering meat and fish!
    UNIVERSAL TAILOR SHOP: At Universal Tailor Shop just off the market, I bought a local head scarf. They also sell Creole ties and other garments!
    CLAVIA’S LOCAL CUISINE: At this food stand in the covered part of the market, I tried some crab callaloo and codfish accra, which were both outstanding. The crab callaloo came in a nice, rich gravy with dumplings, and the codfish accra was a delicious, crispy fish cake.

    I really enjoyed this video. Very informative. The market was vibrant. That callalloo looked delicious and "mother" was so kind giving you the back story about why it's called callalloo and where the little fish in the accra comes from. That's a typical Dominican mother for you. Don't forget to stop by her next time in Dominica. And yes, you must come back. Btw did they tell you this? Dominican mothers love to feed, so you eating makes them happy. By your videos I say you did Dominica justice. Thank you again. Keep on going and we love you from the depths of our hearts.

    Good morning David. First of all, thank you for changing the music at the end of the video. Love your visit to the market (wish they had taken you to the one in Trinidad), where everything is locally grown and fresh from the garden to the plate. The crab callalloo and the salt fish accra looked delicious. Reminded me of Trinidad where we also put pig tail and salt-kind (salted beef) in it as well. So good. Saw the dance but still wish you had shown more of it and/or probably join in too. Lol. So nice of the ex-mayor to take you around. Good thing he reminded you to buy your honey. Very enjoyable indeed. Got my email earlier and saw that soon you would be on your way to Belize. Lots to learn there. So have a safe flight 🛫✈️🛬 and may God continue to bless you always.🙏🛐🇹🇹🇨🇦

History is very important because if we don't know where we came from then we may never understand life today. I watched the dance 'short' over and over and I will be looking forward for more. Thank you for the email earlier. So as you are getting ready to go to Belize, I hope everything goes according to plan. Have a safe flight.
