My time in Crown Point, Tobago continued with a trip to have some authentic curry crab and dumplings. It’s quintessentially Tobago, so it’s a must-have!

My friends Jason and Candice and I headed over to Miss Trim’s to try it out.

In the back, they had some crab, stewed fish, stewed pork, and a cornmeal and coconut milk dish called coo-coo. Everything looked and smelled amazing.

Then, they showed me how they make curried crabs. They added thyme, ginger, garlic, chadon beni, hot peppers, coconut milk, curry powder, and more to the crab.

She built the curry and then poured the coconut milk into the pot of crabs. She then boils it for 45 minutes. Then, she made the dumplings!

I tried some of the stewed pork. It was so delicious! I loved the fattiness and it was so sweet!

Then, I helped roll out the dumplings. Then, after they’re rolled, they cut them in half. But I couldn’t wait to have the crab. It smelled so good!

I watched her boil the dumplings. I liked the half-moon shape. They almost looked like empanadas.

We drove down to the beach to eat. The sun was way more intense in Tobago even though it’s just a 20-minute flight from Trinidad. Nearby was a food court area with 7 different vendors, and some outdoor seating.

We ordered some curried conch, stewed chicken, stewed pork, stewed fish, bhaji, and callaloo. It was a nice mix of Indian and Creole dishes.

We started with the coo-coo, which is similar to polenta. It contains celery, pumpkin, okra, chives, garlic, and carrots. You dip it into the callaloo, which is a vegetable dish similar to palak paneer.

The curry kingfish was crispy and coated in curry. Everything was so good. I also liked the roasted breadfruit, which was like a plantain.

There was also some amazing yucca. I loved the curry conch, which also contained sweet potatoes. It was the best conch of all time! It was so soft and tender!

The stewed pork was so tender, it fell right off the bone. The gravy was unreal. It had a nice sweetness to it. I also really loved the stewed chicken. It reminded me of chicken dishes I’d had in Jamaica!

Finally, we jumped on the curry crab, which I bit right into to break the shell. I loved the spices and the coconut flavor. The dumplings were thin but dense and full of that amazing curry flavor.

Then, we headed to the nearby market to support the locals. There were vendors selling handmade crafts, including necklaces, bracelets, and earrings made from shells, seeds, and coral. It’s unique to Trinidad and Tobago!

I spent 160 TTD, or less than $30 USD on some necklaces and bracelets for my daughters. There was also a large calabash with different designs carved into them. I bought one for my assistant!

Then, we headed down to the beach!
