Start our evening with Conch Fritters, Cuba’s “pecado con salsa de aguacate” cold poach fish with avocado, an array of tropical fruits and coconut shrimp served with Banana daiquiris and a fruit Caribbean cocktail. Then let’s weigh anchor and sail the Caribbean with our first stop in Barbados for the scrumptious spiny lobster salad, then to Jamaica to sample it’s famous jerk Pork roast with black beans and rice, back to St. Kitts for an unusual crab and cream soup, over to San Juan for the Sea Bass Encrusted with cashews, then a short break to refresh ourselves with a little “put the lime in the coconut and drink it all up”. Let’s slip into Cuba for our big port of call, The Cuban Spiced Beef Tenderloin with olives and raisins, served with fresh squash, sorry no Cuban cigars allowed. Our final port of call is American, Caribbean style, Key West for the world famous chocolate crust key lime pie.
