      Barbadian food is sweet and/or aromatic due to the use of herbs and sugar that grow naturally on the island. A traditional seasoning here is 'Bajan seasoning' which is a fusion of thyme, marjoram, green onions, parsley and more. There is also an abundance of freshly caught fish to choose from on the island due to the surrounding warm waters of the turquoise sea.
