For their final day in the Bahamas on Saturday, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge traveled to the main island of Abaco and visited a Fish Fry – a predominantly Bahamian gastronomic place located on every island in the Bahamas. During the trip, William and Kate met vendors who prepared a taste of Bahamian cuisine, including their favorite local salad. “I’m a little bolder than William!” Kate said as she went up to try a piece of conch. The basil had a reaction to the taste after it bit skillfully. “It was wonderful,” Kate said. The Duchess of Cambridge even stepped back from the counter to make the same salad with concoction as Jade Adderley, a Fish Fry vendor in Dundas Town, Abaco, looked at it. “I’m not as fast as you!” Kate told him.
