Bermuda Lobster Season Is Here: A Food Lover's Guide to Fall Flavours

Bermuda's spiny lobster isn't like the lobster you might know from New England. It has no big claws. Instead, the sweet, tender meat is in the tail. Because it's only available during the season, locals and visitors alike make the most of it while they can.

Where to try it:

• The Lobster Pot Restaurant & Boathouse Bar in the City of Hamilton, a local favourite for seafood
• Wahoo's Bistro & Patio in historic St. George's, where you can dine with harbour views

Pro tip: lobster is popular in season, so reserve your table in advance, especially on weekends.

Lobster is just the start. Don't leave the island without tasting these:

1. Bermuda fish chowder. A rich, hearty chowder traditionally finished at the table with a splash of black rum and sherry pepper sauce.
2. The fish sandwich. Fried fish piled high on raisin bread, often with coleslaw and hot sauce. It sounds unusual, but it's a true local classic.
3. The Dark 'n Stormy. Bermuda's iconic cocktail of dark rum and ginger beer, perfect at sunset.
4. The Rum Swizzle. A fruity, refreshing rum punch that's a staple of island life.
5. Fresh local fish. From wahoo to rockfish, Bermuda's catch of the day is always worth ordering.

The beauty of Bermuda is that every corner of the island has its own flavour. Here's a dream day of dining:

• Lunch in Hamilton: Start in the capital with a long, leisurely seafood lunch.
• Afternoon cocktails on the coast: Head out for a Rum Swizzle or a Dark 'n Stormy with an ocean view.
• Sunset dinner in St. George's: End the day with lobster in the island's historic UNESCO town.

There's just one problem: Hamilton and St. George's are at opposite ends of the island, and nobody wants to worry about driving after a few cocktails.
