Values, Practices and Philosophy:

Based on humble beginnings and a focus on providing comfort, quality, and a sense of community, our Bahamian restaurant is on its way to becoming the best in the world! Providing quality and luxury in Grand Bahama takes persistence and ingenuity, and our Flying Fish brand is no stranger to change.

Though our product & service quality remains the same, we have simplified our preparations, significantly lowering our kitchen's workload. This simple modification has allowed us to lower prices and become more of a weekly visit - or multiple times a week visit, depending on your mood, of course! Don't worry; everything is still made from scratch every day. Nothing comes from a can, a packet, or a box.

Our rework doesn't just begin and end with our menu. We have completely refurbished the restaurant with a new casual and relaxed interior, a new roof, new windows, and a new AC unit that will withstand the hottest Bahamian summers. 

Our premium level of work is proudly represented in all Flying Fish sectors, from our custom-designed cutlery produced in England to our Austrian Riedel stemware to our educated staff. 

Sustainability Practices:

We make our own bottled water on-site with our reverse osmosis nanofiltration machine. It serves both sparkling and still water, and we bottle it in recyclable glass bottles. It saves us between 5-10 bags of garbage in plastic bottles per week. Disposable cups are not allowed.

Our on-site laundry room makes towel use more accessible rather than wasting paper towels.

Flying Fish only serves sustainable seafood, fresh, not frozen, only in season. We live on an island, and we are happy to support and preserve the ocean that sustains so many people here.

Our meats are all small, farm-raised, with no antibiotics or growth hormones. Humanely slaughtered. Never in factory processing plants like IBP. My beef is from Creekstone Farms, a fantastic product with exceptional flavor and texture. The pork belly is Berkshire; one of the greatest breeds in the pork world. The bacon for our BLT sandwich is cured and smoked in house using the same amazing pork. The burger that has become legendary is ground in-house using the same Creekstone Beef. Short ribs, Top sirloin and chuck are all ground by myself using no eggs, breadcrumbs or other fillers.

Wine:

Flying Fish has the most extensive wine list in Grand Bahama and keeps growing, with labels added every week. Rebecca is the only certified sommelier on Grand Bahama Island and the only female sommelier in the Bahamas.

Our wine list is 75% under the $60 price point for excellent wines carefully chosen for their quality and value.

We are our own importer with our sister company Sea Gate Wines. We are the largest importer of both Spanish and Austrian wines. Our house Sea Gate Gruner Veltliner, Roter Veltliner and Roter Muskateller our from our own label, made by a 5th generation Austrian winemaker in Wagram, just outside of Vienna.

Final Notes: 

Hopefully, you will help us spread our word. We need the help of our supporters to share this philosophy throughout the community and the world. Please take the time to share this with anyone you think might be interested. 

If you have any questions or concerns about the menu, please email me at chef@flyingfishbahamas.com, and I would be happy to walk you through the menu or answer any questions you may have.

Hope to see you all soon.

Respectfully,

Chef Tim Tibbitts
