The Culture

Bermuda's food culture is heavily influenced by its location and history. Due to its geographic isolation, the island's cuisine has developed a unique blend of British, African, Caribbean, and Portuguese influences. Seafood, particularly fish such as cod, snapper, and wahoo, is a staple in Bermudian dishes. Traditional dishes such as fish chowder, fish cakes, and shark hash are popular among locals and tourists alike. Many fruits and vegetables are grown locally, including mangoes, bananas, and cassava, and are often featured in dishes such as salads and side dishes. Spices and herbs, like cassareep, thyme, and pimento, are also commonly used in Bermudian recipes, adding bold and distinct flavors to the cuisine.
