What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Gouyave Fish Friday offers a vibrant taste of Grenadian culture and fresh seafood, though recent reports suggest a dip in vendor numbers due to road access issues. When at its best, it's praised for its lively atmosphere, delicious local dishes, and authentic community feel. Some visitors note that it might not be as bustling as it once was.
"This event is not what it used to be. There were only two booths open for seafood. The locals told us that ever since the main road was closed and you had to detour to get there; most people don’t go up there anymore. It was still good food but just be aware it not a big event currently."
