My time in Tobago continued with one of the most fun and unique experiences I’ve ever had while traveling. Come with me as I enjoy Tobago seafood after hunting lionfish in the Caribbean Sea!
My friend Chef Jason Peru and I started our day in Pigeon Point on the Caribbean side of the island. We headed out from Pigeon Point Heritage Park and would head out on a boat and go spearfishing underwater!

There’s a stand on the beach where the vendor sells beautiful conch shells of all different sizes. I bought three of them for my daughters and my niece for 120 TTD.
From there, we met up with our friends David and Dave. I couldn’t wait to get out on the boat and get in the water. I hadn’t gone spearfishing since I was a teenager!
They taught me how to load and use the speargun before we hopped on our boat, The Frontier 1. The sun was intense even though it was the morning. Always wear sunscreen!
Then, they served us some pigtail and cow heel soup. The cow heels are gelatinous and super tasty. It also contained large chunks of pumpkin and was almost like a gumbo. I loved it!
After eating, I put on my snorkel mask and hopped into the water and catching a lionfish! We got two lionfish as well as a third fish and then enjoyed some breadfruit chips back on the boat.
Then, we headed over to No Man’s Land, a peninsula that’s uninhabited. We could see people windsurfing. They also hold jazz music and fashion events there!
No Man’s Land is beautiful. It’s an empty island with a hut where they were barbecuing some chicken and corn, and also had some sweets including coconut fudge, peanut fudge, nut brittle, preserved red mango, tamarind balls, and more!
We bought some tamarind balls, peanut fudge, and nut brittle. Each cost 10 TTD, or roughly $1.50 USD per item. The peanut fudge was like a dense bar of peanut butter, while the tamarind balls were tart and very sugary!
The drumstick was coated in a sweet barbecue sauce. The meat fell right off the bone! Then, I watched our friend Dave clean and butcher the lionfish. He easily removed the scales using the back of a knife. He had to be careful because of the poisonous spines!
Lionfish are invasive in the waters around Tobago, so it’s allowed and encouraged to hunt them. He filleted one lionfish and left the other whole so we could grill it whole. We’d eat the filets raw with some lime!
It was just like sashimi! It was fresh but a little tough. I liked it a lot! Then, Jason began slicing a breadfruit and put some garlic and thyme inside the slits before placing it on the fire to roast.
He dipped the fish into the sea to salt it and then placed it on the grill. Then, they cut filets from the squirrel fish we’d caught. Jason and I ate everything on a large leaf!
We left just as more tourists were visiting. Jason, Candice and I had to dive back into the water! What an adventure!

About Me:
My name is David Hoffmann. Since starting David’s Been Here in 2008, I have traveled to over 1,300 destinations in 88 countries to experience and document unique cultures on my UA-cam channel, travel blog, and social media.
I highlight culture and historical sites, but my passion is food! I love to experience and showcase the different flavors each destination has to offer, from casual street food to gourmet restaurant dining.
Where have you been?
P.S. Thank you for watching my videos and subscribing!
This man travelled to over 80 countries and he throughly enjoys every destination. But he seems most relaxed in Tobago. It's that island vibes man. This episode was epic. 🇹🇹🔥💯
Tobago will have that effect on you.
Beautiful Tobago.
@@alieninthecaribbean honestly Tobago is literally the best place for peace
Yassssssss my island 🥰
🌸 I must admit my favourites are sister island Trinidad & Tobago 🇹🇹
I love them 💖✨
Not to be biased but I was smiling the whole time, looking at this production. I have never seen Mr. David do a dance while eating in any other vid. I am so very happy he got to enjoy this amazing experience in T&T!
David, this really showcases the diversity and uniqueness of our twin island Republic. Both islands are very different, but also very similar. Our nation can teach the world a lot. Thanks for this epic series
A wonderful clip of Tobago island life, food, and friendly people. The only American who sports a TTFA shirt with pride. You are a true trini now
As a Trinidadian who has been commenting under many traveling UA-cam foodies to come try our amazing food and finally I can see it makes me really happy and so proud to see others enjoy our culture and greatness 🇹🇹💖😊

The cow heel soup looks bombbb

Tobago is so beautiful 😍😍Thank you for this amazing content ❤❤
Another awesome experience. and you caught a lionfish....wow. the roasted breadfruit.preserves. pineapple real island happiness,friendly people everything beautiful. Your kids would love those shells. Thankyou David and as always stay safe on all your travels.
I really think David turned islander . So happy for him enjoying his stay here. Also in Trindad we camp at beaches with our ring stoves or coal pot and make a cook. Tobago is more of a tourist island but Trinidad has many breath taking places as well . I hope you come back and see more of the gems Trinidad offers as well like how you had an authentic Tobago experience, you needed a better Trinidad one.
Tamarind balls w plenty pepper, is my favorite since I was a child!
Hi Dave 👋 ..the best man to take y'all out David!! keep doing what u do gr8 videos 🇹🇹🇹🇹👍😉
David enjoys everything. Love it.
Great video. Thank Goodness David went to Tobago and got to eat creole foods that he was not exposed to in Trinidad. In trinidad we cook most of the same things every day. Except the Lion Fish
I agree with your Simone! But it appears that the cowheel and pigtail soup and the sweets just appear in Tobago (only)! No mention of the African connection and the Afro-Caribbean innovations and creations.
This was another great episode David, glad you had fun in beautiful no man's land .
This guy is a pro with lion fish. He is very causal with the poisonous stingers.
tnks guys
Tobago...Paradise island..so beautiful👌👌
Excellent video. Looks like so much fun
Chef Jason did a great job arranging your schedule, it seems so fulfilling. The only thing I think you hadn’t experienced yet was a hike to one of our famous waterfalls, it’s an amazing experience as well. Great videos. Keep up the good work.
I saw a stort video of them on a hike two months ago, done know if we will see it in a up coming video
@@Triniboyforchrist Good to know, thanks👍
Love your trini videos!! All those sweet treats are definitely all over the caribbean...grew up on those in Belize 🇧🇿 😋
David so glad you came to beautiful Trinidad & Tobago. You're doing amazing!! Congratulations on 1 million subscribers!!
I just mute when Jason talks, no one in Trinidad talks with the forceful accent he has going on there. Thank god for captions lol
David i'm enjoying all of your wonderful videos
Irie, irie man! Lionfish didn't stand a chance against David's beginner's luck. That pineapple infused barbecue fish feast looked amazing. Island life 🏖

Great video! I enjoyed this video massively - naturally beautiful and a parting from all these East Indian cuisines which I love but they are all the same.
Coming there soon
My Beautiful Twin Island. May GOD Bless it.
All the Islands are beautiful
Like to see you enjoying the island life nice
🌸 my mom would make tamarind balls for me as well as coconut balls & coconut brittle 🥥🇹🇹
I ate red mango spicy packets like daily when I was younger lol. This video brings back such beautiful memories of our trips to Tobago
Lovely footage and exploration of our twin island. Though I must make mention that we have nutcake here not peanut brittle. Call it by the names of the island so it remains unique to us. Even though it may be the same someplace else.
I thought I was the only one. Why doesn't Jason say the local names for the foods? It's cow heel, not cow foot. I never heard of nut brittle in Trinidad. I have always known it to be nut cake. Relax and just be local.
@@patriciapeltier790 the cardamom he said was in the sugar cake at the lookout made me cuss. (hiding my face) but yea i did.
@@aizesb2229 I think some foreigners will now believe that sugar cake is an East Indian Sweet!
@@lizabetx483 imagine that. Steups
Greetings from India.
Eating soup on a small boat. Lol... yall crazy
The Lionfish is so Beautiful
Never actually had Lionfish, as we always thought they were poisonous, (in 🇰🇳). I guess now that they are such an invasive species, throughout the Caribbean, it is a good that we can actually cook and eat them. Just to mention one other thing, and that is, did you try breadfruit milkshake in T&T? Great Videos!!!
They are poisonous but the poison is only in the spine.
I just mentioned this to my brother and he said the same! Some part of this fish is poison
The spines are poisonous but the flesh is actually safer to eat than fugu (puffer-fish). Light, flaky, delicate flesh and very delicious. Hunt them as much as you want and eat as many as you like. They are invasive and breed rapidly and completely disrupt reef eco-systems. We aren't even making a DENT in their numbers. So put them on your menu! In fact we should be doing more Bake & Lionfish than Bake & Shark because sharks are threatened right now.
Love this series. You both come across as loved up man bros. Sorry over food. Keep it up.
Lovely.
Before you know it your 1 million subs will multiply multiple times over
Next time you come to 🇹🇹 hit me up I'm a local chef in San Fernando awesome video!!!!
Nice video
I would love to know how you stay so trim whilst constantly eating.
David u need to try some oil down and breadfruit punch...
Tamarind balls is not specific to Tobago or Trinidad (where i grew up and had it) . I have friends from India, Belize and Mexico. They have Tamarind balls in their respective countries.
The Tamarind tree is native to Africa and was transferred to India and Mexico where it has been adopted into the cuisine for hundreds of years. Tamarind Balls are an Afro-Creole legacy sweet which are made throughout the Caribbean and Latin America/Central America by people of African descent.
Correct!
🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹💪🏿
No known predator to the lionfish. They produce year round. A mature female can release 2 million eggs annually.
Great video, cow heal soup, lionfish, roast breadfruit chips, barbecue chicken, pineapple salsa, coconut water, tamarind balls, nut brickette, peanut fudge.
Piegon Point, lagoon, No Man's Land, Nylon Pool.
Put St. Vincent and the grenadines on your visiting list.
