When we were turned away from The Fish Pot for lack of a reservation on our drive around the island, we asked for suggestions of where to eat. They spouted all the top places, which 
also needed reservations.
“Where do Bajan’s grab a bite?”
The response was to drive about 5 minutes north in St. Elmo’s, and as soon as we saw a fresh fish stand on the right to look left for a supermarket and bar. At first we passed it, but turned around and parked right in front next to the construction outside, building a porch.
Off the beaten path with our stop is a gross understatement. Many folks I know would never have stepped foot into this dive, no less eat there.
Annette greeted us and described all the food in the buffet that she has cooked. We selected Conch Soup, Grilled Marlin with cou-cou (made from cornmeal and part of the national dish of Barbados) and salad, and Lamb Stew with Christmas Rice (with beans, peas, raisins and nuts).
The food was superb. And cheap, as a meal costs less than $7 a person the beer (Banks) only 50 cents. Worth seeking out on a drive around Barbados, that is if you can find it. 
We stayed in Barbados for 10 days and this was our favorite place to eat. The food was amazing, huge portions, and the people were very very friendly.
I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO EVERYONE AT ST ELMO FOR BEING SO FRIENDLY TO THE 4 AMERICAN GIRLS THAT STAYED IN ST LUCY FOR 2 WEEKS. THE FOOD WAS WONDERFULL AND TRUE TO HIS WORD WE DID GET OUR T-BONE STEAKS AND THEY WERE THE BEST I EVER HAD!! A SPECIAL THANKS TO JAMUAL WHO WAS SO POLITE AND SWEET TO MAKE SURE WE ENJOYED THE FOOD HE PREPARED.

YOUR FRIEND THE BLONDE WITH PINK GLASSES
