What creators show here
Chef Andrew 'Manzy' Waite digs a pit in the beach sand, lining it with sheet metal, charcoal, and fragrant pimento branches. He heavily seasons a whole pig with wet and dry rubs, places it on a metal grate inside the pit, and covers it to roast slowly for six hours.
Chef Jeffrey Smith at Spiritz of Montego Bay deep-fries a whole 30-pound yellowfin tuna in a custom-built stainless steel pan. The fish is deeply scored, heavily seasoned, and continuously basted with boiling oil until crisp and cooked through.
At Grange Pen Fisherman Beach, local fisherman Jackie shows off a freshly caught spiny pufferfish from his catch crate. He explains how local fishermen safely identify species, while the host notes the extreme dangers of tetrodotoxin.
A spiny Caribbean king crab is grilled whole in its shell over open embers directly on the beach. Using a Red Stripe beer bottle to crack the charred shell, the host extracts thick, steaming morsels of sweet white crab meat.
