Roots reggae and relaxed service give an authentic island vibe to this Caribbean outlet. Corn and eddoes are fresh and fragrant, as are the three types of mangoes in the produce aisle. The well-maintained meat and fish counters skew heavily West Indian: on offer are goat feet, shoulders and legs, and an assortment of tripe, plus five kinds of snapper, massive kingfish, cut pieces of shark and Jamaican goat fish. There’s also plenty of smoked mackerel, herring and cod. Quench your thirst with flavours from back home, such as protein-rich sea moss, peanut punch, sorrel and mauby tea.
