The island’s food scene flourishes with its fresh ingredients and diverse cultural influences. While there are fine dining options in the resorts and local institutions like Mama’s Fish House, good food can be found at lower prices via the growing food truck scene and Sheldon Simeon’s take on local-style food, Tin Roof.
