"A bit out of the way, but worth the effort if you’re after some excellent jerk cooking; pork, chicken, fish and seafood are served with festival, breadfruit, yam or sweet potato."

"Scotchie’s serves what is arguably the best jerk chicken on the island...just a collection of tin-roofed structures around a few palapa-shaded tables by the side of the road." Full review
