Food, Produce, Eating In or Dining Out ...

The Secret Ingredient...

Fresh air, clean seas and long sunny days are the secret ingredient in making island produce so delicious.

Mouth-watering local lobsters and crabs abound, together with fresh fish, local lamb, beef and vegetables, eggs, bread and butter, beer and wine, ice cream, jam and fudge, all make for perfect picnics and brilliant barbecues, you can even catch your own prawn cocktail in Summer!!

Eat Fresh, stay local

The Local Produce Market on St Mary's provides the best opportunity for all the Islands' producers to come together to sell their goods and while you're buying your fresh fish,vegetables, butter, fudge, loaves and cakes, hot pasties and real ales, you'll get to meet the people who've grown, made or prepared them.

The market is held throughout the summer season, usually on the first Thursday of the month, and on selected days in the off-season. Of course, when its not a market day, there is still plenty of opportunity to buy fresh produce local shops, farm stalls and fishermen.
