Oh Andros

Oh Andros at Arawak Cay is one of Nassau's Fish Fry strip institutions, pulling in 4. 2 stars across 1,833 reviews — the volume of reviews alone signals a spot that has proven itself to thousands of visitors and locals over years of consistent service. The restaurant takes its name from Andros Island, the largest Bahamian island known for its bonefishing and conch, and the menu celebrates those Bahamian roots: cracked conch, conch salad made fresh table-side, grilled snapper, lobster in season, macaroni and cheese, and the peas and rice that anchors every Bahamian plate.

The Fish Fry setting is the greatest asset for families — the open-air strip at Arawak Cay is a genuine local gathering spot where the atmosphere is created by the people eating, cooking, and socializing around you rather than by interior design. Kids feed off that energy. The location is accessible from downtown Nassau (about a 5-minute drive or 20-minute walk along the waterfront), making it easy to combine with a morning at the Straw Market or a visit to the nearby sea wall.

Weekend evenings draw the biggest crowds, which creates great atmosphere but also longer waits. Arriving by 5:30 PM beats the rush while keeping the full Fish Fry energy. The conch salad made fresh — with diced onion, pepper, tomato, and fresh citrus — is a must-order.
