You don’t have to look far in the Caribbean to find ceviche, unsurprising in a region home to some of the best seafood on the planet.

Indeed, the Peruvian dish, which typically consists of fish cured in lime or lemon juice and then a range of other possible ingredients, has spread across the islands in one form of another, from conch salad in The Bahamas to aguachile on the Caribbean coast of Mexico.

But while it’s ubiquitous, one Caribbean eatery has taken its ceviche to the next level.

Agua.

This is Agua, one of the signature eateries at Grand Cayman’s Camana Bay development, a seafood-focused restaurant that serves up the best ceviche we’ve ever encountered in the Caribbean.

The offering is broad: there are six different types of the dish: clasico peruano, with a pepper and cilantro seasoning; “mixto peruano,” with a mix of shripm, octopus and aji amarillo sauce; thai style, with the catch of the day and flavors like coconut and lemongrass; “Cayman stye,” with tomato, orange seasoning, and scotch bonnet ; aguachile, the Mexican-style ceviche with avocado, wild shrimp and jalapeno; and nikkei, with tuna, yuzu, tamarind, soy and cilantro.

You can eat them individually or as a trio (or, for a splurge, do a sampling of all six), taking a seafood journey in the process.

Each expression is authentic and full of flavor, the juices and the spices marrying perfectly with the taste and consistency of ultra-fresh fish.

It’s all delivered with impeccable service in a bright, crisply designed restaurant in the heart of Camana Bay, in plain view of the water.

And if you like ceviche, this is the spot. And it’s the best in the Caribbean right now.

The Bahamas’ surging development pipeline continues to grow, with another major new project set for its tourism hub of Paradise Island.

The more than $250 million Hurricane Hole Marina project is the newest by Sterling Global Development, a mixed-use development that will include an expansion of the iconic marina, a pool, two restaurants, a bank, a gourmet market, office space all centered around a collection of residences.

The first residential component of the project will be Sterling Commons, a collection of eight two-bedroom units and four one-bedroom units.

They’re designed by architect Russel Fleisher, who said his vision for the units was inspired by luxury yacht design.

Every residence will have views of the Hurricane Hole Marina and Nassau Harbor.

The biggest perk? Owners will have the option to join the Ocean Club on Paradise Island, with access to the championship 18-hole golf course, clubhouse and the beach and tennis club.

The updated marina will include fitness facilities, an on-demand concierge, a fuel dock and the ability to accommodate yachts in excess of 200 feet.

It’s the latest regional development for Sterling, which also has projects underway in Nassau, Eleuthera and Abaco.

It joins several other high-profile real estate projects in Nassau, from the recently-completed One Ocean to the $250 million Margaritaville development at The Pointe downtown Nassau.

And it’s another big project for The Bahamas, which continues to sizzle as a destination.

For more, visit Sterling.
