Flavorful Brixton Gem Celebrates Trinidadian Cuisine

Upon entering the vibrant enclave of Fish, Wings & Tings nestled within Brixton Market, the first thing you notice is a spirited atmosphere that reverberates with the eclectic sounds of chatter and Caribbean rhythms. Brian Danclair, the affable owner and Trinidadian culinary master, weaves a tapestry of island hospitality, and I found myself warmly welcomed by a staff mirroring this familial spirit. Seating options are either cozily compact indoors or generously scattered outdoors, which is perfect for those embracing the market's lively pulse.

The menu bears testimony to a delightful dance of flavors, notably with the revered Cod Fish Fritters—golden morsels that were slightly too doughy but still conveyed a satisfying crunch paired with a creamy sauce. It’s the fervent jerk chicken that truly teleports you; tender to the bone and elevated with a sweet yet tangy pineapple combo, it had me surrendering after my first enthusiastic bite. While the curried goat left shadows of yearning due to its indifferent seasoning, the prawn curry sashayed with a spicy vivacity. Here’s a place that celebrates the mélange of Trinidad's robust culinary essence, infusing moments of sheer delight amidst bites. Be wary though, as cash is your only currency here—a charmingly analog throwback in our digital times, much like the no-frills, bustling service packed with those genuine smiles. — Clarissa Cuisinier
