All the delicacies of West Africa, West India and the West Indies can be found within this store, be they burnt goat’s feet, cow’s feet or true sweet potatoes. Yams are featured, too, some cut into manageable chunks, others, such as the firewood-size African and Jamaican yam, left whole. The butchery is a celebration of cuts that some might consider unpopular, and offal, such as oxtail and beef tripe. The selection of fish is both plentiful and diverse, from jackfish to grouper. Raid the refrigerator for preserved koobi and smoked fish; add mauby syrup, cassava sauce or Trinidad-style “green seasoning.”
