    TRINIDAD & TOBAGO - Another amazing day in Trinidad and Tobago and today we’re doing a few things, starting with a unique roast fish and cheesy lobster, then going into the mountains to learn about Trinidad chocolate, and finally finishing with the most famous fast food in Trinidad - bake and shark at Maracas Bay!
    Big thank you to #TrinidadandTobago #visitTrinidad for inviting me to Trinidad and Tobago and for making this trip happen! Guide to the things and food in this video: visittrinidad.tt/things-to-do...
    Friends in the video:
    Zaak (Foodie Tales with Zaak): / foodietaleswithzaak
    Dr. Roast Fish (goo.gl/maps/mxTmfzw22xt8utx98) - Mayaro, Trinidad - We’re starting on the East Coast of Trinidad, and going to meet up with Dr. Roast, who is famous for his roast fish. And Trinbagonian roast fish is something very unique and his recipe is different from any other roast fish I’ve seen. He loaded up the fish with corn, plantains, green seasonings, and cheese to top it off! We also had a lobster covered in green seasoning, and topped with cheese again. Very nice guy and fresh seafood!
    Brasso Seco Village (www.brassosecoparia.com/) - Next we drove into the mountains to Brass Seco Village. They have an indigenous population and they offer a number of eco friendly tourism opportunities like visiting the cacao plantations and seeing the entire process of how chocolate is made. It was a great learning experience, and eating the fresh cacao fruit was the highlight. We also had a quick lunch, a local meal and some Trinidadian dishes like smoked chicken in coconut milk.
    Uncle Sam & Sons (g.page/UncleSamsTT?share) - Finally to complete this food tour today, we headed to the most famous beach in all of the island - Maracas Bay! Along with the beach, you can’t go to Maracas Bay without eating Bake and Shark. The bake is more of a fried bread and the shark is real local shark meat that’s seasoned and breaded, then deep fried and loaded into the bake. Finally, you add all your own toppings like pepper sauce, shadow beni, and pineapple. The best thing to do is then go stand or sit on the beach to enjoy the most famous and iconic beach food in Trinidad and Tobago!

    This place is totally mesmerizing. Their food is unique yet it tells something about their history as well. We appreciate Mark Wiens for showing us what it’s like to explore places that may not be well known. They sure have a lot to showcase apart from the food they serve. They’re all hospitable, kind, friendly, and warm. May God bless them.

      The irony is that they dried the chicken and then immediately cooked it in liquid! [smile] An old method no longer needed since there is plenty of freezing and refrigeration to preserver fresh foods with natural juices intact.

    Mark, I am originally from Paramin Village, Trinidad, and watching how much you are enjoying our foods makes me hungry, I am in Canada since 1975, I still prepare all these food for my 3 sons, and sometimes for their friends, so they Trinidad foods. On day my son had a customer who traveled 5 hours to his business, he gave him some food, he asked " where can I get this food to buy "? My son said to him, your parents have come from Trinidad to eat this kind of food, you can't buy this in Canada, I am so happy to see you enjoying the most of the long life living people. May God bless you richly and guide you through your life's journey, and protect you from all dangers. I love you from my heart ♥

    No one can replicate Trini spices, composition and texture combinations. They made Indian food lighter, tastier and better. Plus they have Chinese and African influence. How can you beat that combination? I find whenever there is an Indian, Chinese and African fusion in food, it tastes insane. Jamaican, Malaysian, Peri Peri Mozambique are examples. It's the best food in the world when those 3 cultures collab.

    • @imacarguy4065
      @imacarguy4065 Před rokem +5

      Can you elaborate because this comment is iffy when you look at the Food history of Trinidad?
      For one, If you're basing Indian food off the piss poor Indian restaurants locally, you're being disingenuous. Local Indo-Trinidadian food might win on Nostaligia though. Plus, taste is subjective. And it is lighter as you said.
      But the whole reason why it's lighter is due to the lack of ingredients available to the Indians to make their dishes when they came to Trinidad. They had curry powder provided by the British and that was more or less it. This powder was created by Indian merchants to trade with the British. This is likely why there is less sauce in curry chicken and why curry chicken is a different dish from Chicken Curry.
      Considering the fact that Trini spices is heavily based on what was coming out of Asia and being spread by the Europeans as well as what was being cultivated locally by the Indigenous people, I'd say it can be more or less replicated. Composition and texture is debatable.
      Also, a lot of your examples for insanely tasty cuisines are based off predominately Native, Indian, Chinese, Middle Eastern flavors and spices. Southeast Asian countries basically combine Chinese cooking techniques with Indian spices. Africa Bird eye chillies come from America and Peri Peri seasoning was likely created by the Portuguese. That part is a hot topic though.
      The Africans contributed certain cooking techniques with the most notable one being caramelizing with brown sugar. Stewed meat and Trinidadian Pelau uses these techniques. I will admit that I personally think that using sugar to caramelize meat etc is something black, possibly creole Caribbean people came up with. I've watched a lot of African people cook but I have never seen this technique. I've never seen Indians or Chinese use it either.
      I feel like we really leave out indigenous people and their contributions to the world cuisine and especially Caribbean Cuisine.
      We have banger food. You're right about that. Just wanted to clarify some things based on your comment.

      The pineapple is my fave part since it balances it all out. Fried bake is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside with a buttery and slightly sweet taste, the shark is salty and juicy and well seasoned, the veggies in the toppings add a fresh crispness, but the pine (and tamarind sauce) is where it's at. Not everyone can make it well, but when you get a tasty bake and shark your beach day is 10x better.
