🇩🇲More Dominica Videos: • Trying DOMINICA STREET...
As my adventures in Dominica slowly wound to a close, I had two exotic local delicacies for my final dinner on the island: manicou and agouti! Manicou is made from opossum, while agouti is made from a rodent similar to guinea pigs. Join me on this surprising food adventure in Dominica!
BELL HALL BEACH SPOT: At this incredible beachside restaurant, the cooks prepared a phenomenal Dominican feast of manicou, agouti, conch chowder, coconut curry tuna, coconut curry vegetables, sea cockroach, salad, and grilled octopus. Everything was excellent and fresh. Overall, it was one of my favorite meals of the trip!
BAR DRINKS: There was no way I wasn’t going to enjoy a few drinks on my final night in Dominica, so I headed t he bar and tried a potent ginger shot, a strong medicinal shot, and some marijuana punch, which I chased with a nice ginger beer.

About Me:
My name is David Hoffmann. Since starting David’s Been Here in 2008, I have traveled to over 1,300 destinations in 95 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.
Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Hi David,
A few weeks ago, I stumbled upon your videos of Dominica, and I can't get enough!! :) You covered a lot of ground and I have included a few spots for me to visit the next time I go back. (I'm a Dominican living abroad). I love your energy and I am thrilled that you featured street food in your series. In every video, the warmth and hospitality of my fellow Dominicans and the stunning scenery really warmed my heart.
Yes, I have eaten smoked agouti, but as a teenager. I loved it then, but I'm not sure that I'd eat it now. What a feast from the folks at Bell Hall Beach Spot! The sea queen is new to me. I was salivating at the sight of all these beautiful dishes, so the restaurant is definitely on my list for next time.
As a Dominican I too can’t get enough of his genuine energy toward my home n culture……we love it❤ fun fact Dominica is originally called Waitikubuli….what means “tall is her body” in our when translated back from our indigenous kalinago language🇩🇲
Manners and Respect to you David for this wonderful experience of my home land. You're welcome back any time bro
Thanks David for visiting our wonderful Dominica and showcasing our beautiful Islands it's people and delicious food🥰
This series have been so amazing. Thanks for visiting my home!
Blessings from Trinidad and Tobago Caribbean ❤️💛💚 one love respect
Her presentation of the food looks great! Love the colours with the grill octopus!
All that good foods on the table ...outdoors...with natural surroundings..awesome ...the restaurant ...nice place for visitors to dine ...and the chef ..very nice lady. Manicou...agouti... maybe would try...always a first time...And the chef very welcoming...like most of the people there. This was another nice one ...Thanks David and Nate ...safe travels.
I will be visiting this restaurant the next time I am in Dominica. Beautiful presentation and lovely atmosphere.
Food looks amazing David. I just adore and appreciate you for always being so respectful and kind with your travels. May God continue to keep you safe🤎
absolutely absolutely amazing thanks for visiting my island
I could've swear you ate agouti on your trip to Trinidad, maybe it wasn't hunting season. I'm enjoying all the videos so far and I even learned something new, never heard of sea cockroach.
Great job my dude! You make me want to come back to Dominican for holiday. Much love from Trinidad 🇹🇹
This bell House Beach Spot Episode David …for me personally this one ☝🏿 stands out Bigtime and I would try a possum 😊…the variety of sea food dishes they have look absolutely delicious
I am from a Dominica and grew up eating these dishes. They are a delicacy and this video brought back so many great memories. Thank you for featuring Belle Hall Beach Spot!! The world needs to try these dishes.
This video was amazing 👍 thank David for visiting 🇩🇲dominica you was one of first thanks🙏 again and come back soon
I am a Dominican, have been eating these delicious foods all my life they are very delicious love them, thanks for visiting glad u enjoy every bit of our delicious exotic foods
Dominica food looks spectacular, great video David! 🔥
Thank you David so far this one is my favorite. With cous throwing down with the culinary cuisine
Epic spread love it! What a hardworking chef ❤
You'll and up going where ever you want, any way and we will like it because we live vicariously through your reports ,their enjoyable .It's great to see what indigenous people of the country your in eat,drink and be merry .You bring the party,it's good to see,right ,right
David, this was a wild fare! I love how you just love what you do. Thank you for visiting our lovely Dominica and showing her beauty to the world.
I’m enjoying watching you enjoy our different cuisines
This good looks amazing! I need to go try their food out. Thanks David for showing me some great spots to eat on my beautiful island. I know those shots put you straight to sleep lol
David you are the man. No possum or Guinea pig type meat for me but I’d eat the gravy with rice. No octopus. Would try the lobster and other seafoods. But everything did look delicious. How were you after those 3 different shots? 😂 🥃🥃🥃. I’d be tore up from the floor up. Great Vlog as usual. Love your humble, polite, transparent manner. Have a great week 🤗
GM David. Well, well, well, what have we got here? The ultimate exotic surf and turf: wild meat and seafood found in the Caribbean. What a feast!!! Definitely not for me except for the lobster and curried fish. First of all, you should have started and ended with the ginger shot which is very good for digestion and any stomach problems. One thing of note is that in the Caribbean/West Indies, we wash and clean everything before cooking it and I am not surprised that the kitchen was so clean as well. Did you see the moon and the stars after drinking that marijuana shot? LoL. With your adventurous and enthusiastic nature, I am not surprised that you were happy to dig into all this dishes. "Nobody does it better... nobody does it half as good as you, baby you're the best". "The Spy who Loved me". Carly Simon. So good. See you in the next one . BTW, I was looking for the thumbnail of you with the Belizean crab legs. Can you re-post it because I can't find it. Tks.😋🤗🙏🕊️💕🇹🇹🇨🇦
I love this spot! My girl Titin do have some delicious meals
Thank you for informing me of all the good spots. Awesome content.
That's a six star service man thumbs up 🙏👍👍👍
Oh dear, I was born in Dominica and I've never eaten manicou or agouti! David you and your friend are so brave! As for the sea cockroach, the word cockroach 🪳 would definitely put me off from trying it out!
My mom is Dominican and never grew up eating these dishes either ...
Lol as a person born in Dominica i never eat manicou or agouti either and never will idc
Thks for showing dominica cuisine to the world
David you are eating good I see. I quess she cooks well. Nothing but love for you both.
🥰🥰🥰
Thanks for this travel experience!
This is where I sell my flag🇩🇲 because I’m not eating manicou and agouti, pa la🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣, but thanks for sharing as always
Lmaooo I swear it looks good it can almost pass for stew chicken boii u don’t eat at everyone’s kitchen for this reason 😂😂😂🇩🇲🤣
Lol! I'm Haitian, but grew up in the US - I'm a bit of a dare devil tho & I'd try it! Plus, my profession is in the culinary world, you have to be open to new things & exploring outside your box! Pa pwoblem - I'll taste for the both of us! 😁 🤣😌
Great videos David. Appreciate you visiting the island. Hope you visit again soon...carnival or world creole music festival
Honestly my property is in the mountains and their is full of these I don't partake in these.
I both tried them once the agouti is nicer. The other only tried the tail Dominican eat all kind of things even iguana.

AWESOMENESS
i enjoy ur adventures so much, watching this specific episode im always walking fast away from those possums in the park but i would so seriously eat the possum. it looks so tasty..
Yum
I had the octopus in a coconut curry a month ago at Belle Hall Spot and it was sooo tasty!
BellHall Beach Spot 🥰🤩
Yes I would try manicou, I have had it a lot growing up.. My mom stews it and I have eaten it with green banana. Agouti I have never tried
Manicou and gouti seasonal.. 😂 LOL... They're always out at night in the countryside... getting hit by passing vehicles...
David but you ate bush meat in Ghana & yet you won't eat a Possum in Louisiana.
You're chicken lol
Glad you're brave this time around.
Nuff respect
Bless up 🙏
Watching from the land downunder Sydney NSW
The sea cockroach,we call Slipper Lobster here in the Virgin Islands 🇻🇮
I love your contente
Funny thing, I saw one right next to my step and pretended I didnt see the eyes or hear the noise it was making. I ran my ass up the step next to it and went inside my home. 😂
I’m jealous 😢
Nope. I've never had and I'm not sure I'll ever try the opossum. I've had agouti though and it's great.
This guy has one of the biggest stomach to be consuming all those dishes all at once
You are so brave.
