Imagine stingrays coming up to the water's edge while you wait for a dish of spicy, deep-fried escoveitched fish with steamed bammy just a pebble's throw from the Caribbean Sea. It doesn't get more beautiful than this on a balmy Jamaican night. And at the Far Out Fish Hut just twenty minutes east of Montego Bay it doesn't get anymore rustic, either.
A tiny bar and benches under almond trees make this a simple but extraordinary delight in dining. Fine dining it definitely is not and you'll get your soft drink in the bottle or the can but in my book it's a five star, country-styled Jamaican experience. The menu includes fish either deep-fried with escoveitch dressing or steamed. Side orders are fried or steamed bammy or sliced hard dough bread.
I took the night pic with a Blackberry that carries no flash so the quality is not that great but I still decided to use that photograph because it captured the twilight ambiance of a great night at the Far Out Fish Hut with some friends. The second pic of what turned out to be the most delightfully tasty escoveitched fish I have had in a long time was taken on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Note the bammy served in aluminum foil and my Fruta drink still in the can...simple pleasures!
