It started, as many of the best things in life do, with a chance comment. A Canadian woman at my Barbados hotel mentioned that she'd had the best dinner of her life at the Friday night fish fry in the seaside town of Oistins. A hotel staffer, overhearing this, nodded approvingly. "Every local knows about that. It's the best place in the world to eat fresh fish right off the grill -- and have a Banks beer to go with it."
