My personal FAVORITE spot for fish lovers! Escoveitch, brown stew, steam, grilled you name it. Along with other great meals at a good price with nice scenery on the water. Located in Greenwood. About a 20 minute drive away but well worth it!

Im going to call the Pelican a historical landmark. Has been around for decades and for a very good reason. Great food (my favorite the oxtail, my husbands the curry goat and most importantly you must order a malt shake, yum!), and has a great local breakfast menu for your Ackee fix. It’s indoor dining with ac for those super hot days. Depending on what you order i would give it a moderate rating for pricing.
