NASSAU, Bahamas -- It started over a decade ago with a dream in a backyard, but years later the Arawak Cay restaurant Gone Fishin' has successfully catapulted itself to the 88th BBQ restaurant in the world and the solidified BBQ ambassador of The Bahamas.
Gone Fishin' was the official winner of the Smokin Hot BBQ competition held at Green Parrot earlier this year - beating out scores of BBQ teams in The Bahamas.
Just last month, the Gone Fishin' team went to Lynchburg, Tennessee to compete in the Jack Daniels BBQ Invitational, where the cooks impressed judges with their Bahamian recipes.
Hamish Moxey, the chief cook of Gone Fishing, says his restaurant, which is located on the shores of Arawak Cay, has gotten rave reviews from locals and tourists alike.
"Gone Fishin' started as a backyard BBQ at home doing what we love to do and then we started getting serious with it after a while. A lot of people who come here from around the world love to BBQ and so I started to look at sauces and I started playing around with sauces and about 15 years later we developed the number one sauce in The Bahamas," he said.
"People are tired of the same-old. You can go anywhere in the world and have food in an air condition restaurant. But there are not a lot of places where you can put your foot in the sand. You can have a meal and go swimming all at the same location in a comfortable environment. This is the only place in New Providence where you can have lunch on the beach."
