We'll be at CN in October (our 2nd visit) and I want to experience as much of the Jamaican cuisine as possible this visit. My husband can't wait for the Curried Goat! What is your favorite Jamaican dish? Thanks in advance!

I never eat lamb at home. At Couples it is delicious. They know how to do it right.

Jerk Chicken is my favorite .... Not a Curried Goat fan.

**Wedge** · March 17th, 2013, 06:05 PM

Anything that starts with jerk!

**Waynel** · March 17th, 2013, 06:18 PM

Jamaican jerk everything. Beef , chicken, pork.

**starfish2** · March 17th, 2013, 06:22 PM

The jerk chicken is not as good as it used to be. The patties are still wonderful. Try it....you'll like it.

**zaraforty** · March 17th, 2013, 07:37 PM

all things jerk: pork, chicken, sausage, fish, steak

Jerk chicken and Red Stripe!

Ackee and Saltfish. Hands-down.

**dank120** · March 18th, 2013, 09:19 AM

Patties, preferably beef, but the ackee patties at Pushcart are to die for! The curried goat at Cosmo's is super yummy too.

Ackee and Saltfish!!! YUMMMMM!!!!

**marbil** · March 18th, 2013, 10:29 AM

smoked marlin panini at CTI veggie bar. 13 days and counting!

**DayBob** · March 18th, 2013, 12:00 PM

Callaloo!!! It's kinda like spinach. It's served at the breakfast buffet.

**atrue** · March 18th, 2013, 12:38 PM

Saltfish and ackee with callaloo.

**HAWGFAN** · March 18th, 2013, 12:56 PM

Ox tails.

**rrallen** · March 18th, 2013, 01:34 PM

Jerk Chicken! If you ever have an opportunity, go to Scotchies in either Ocho Rios or Montego Bay. Hands down, best jerk chicken I've ever had in my life! (No offense Couple's but Scotchies locations have real jerk pits) Also have a beef pattie. (No they're not burgers) Its the Jamaican version of a pasty. My mouth is watering in anticipation....25 days till we go home again!

**jdanjou** · March 18th, 2013, 02:11 PM

Anything with marlin in it. It's amazing! I will also echo the other answers of jerk...and beef patties.

**IrieDreaming** · March 18th, 2013, 05:23 PM

the ackee and saltfish at breakfast and the jerk chicken anytime!

**rhallva** · March 18th, 2013, 06:52 PM

I'm a huge fan of any and all of the soups I get in Jamaica! In particular Pumpkin Soup!

**zaraforty** · March 18th, 2013, 08:04 PM

anything with red snapper too

**fawnridge** · March 19th, 2013, 10:59 AM

I can't honestly pick just one. But if I had to list them, in no particular order - jerk chicken & pork, ackee & saltfish, bammy, festival, curried goat, Ting, and Overproof.

**custer** · March 19th, 2013, 11:14 AM

The pumpkin soup is delicious....as well as the jerk chicken. But I have to say, Jamaicans make the best fried chicken I have ever had.....I don't know what they do to it or what they fry it in, but WOW!!! I am excited to try Chicken Lavish when we are there in November....I have heard it is the best fried chicken on the island.

**Beach-bum** · March 19th, 2013, 01:59 PM

Banana stuffed french toast and the snapper.

Life is good

**hurraybeer** · March 19th, 2013, 02:50 PM

While the food at Couples is really quite good...if you can tear yourself away from you beach lounger, do venture off properteryand sample the local cuisine.

1. Snapper Escovitch
2. Brown Stew Chicken (really anything Brown Stew)
3. Jerk Pork/Chicken
4. Ox Tail
5. Patties
Not a huge goat fan
