Wadadli Beer
Wadadli Beer is one of the most famous local beers in Antigua. Although Wadadli beer is produced by a German company, like Red Stripe Lager and Carib beer, it is brewed locally. It is worth mentioning that before Antigua was discovered by Columbus, Wadadli was the local name for the island. From this, it can be seen that Wadadli Beer can be said to be a representative of Antigua.
Crab Cakes
Crab cakes are also a famous local delicacy, made with crab meat wrapped in flour, deep-fried, and seasoned with local special spices. With a crispy and fragrant exterior and served with a yogurt sauce, it looks mouth-watering.
Lobster
Lobster is also a must-mention delicacy in Antigua, usually prepared by grilling and served with a special Caribbean chili sauce, which makes people both love and hate it.
Red Snapper
As a pearl in the Caribbean Sea, Antigua's geographic advantages allow tourists to enjoy a variety of seafood delicacies locally. The most popular among locals is red snapper. The typical way to prepare red snapper is to stuff chili, thyme, lemon, and onion into the fish's belly, and then grill the whole thing. After grilling, garnish with some side dishes and serve. We usually choose to eat the fish meat, while the local way is to eat the fish head and eyes.
