THE SMITH'S POINT
FISH FRY CELEBRATES
40 YEARS
T
he Smith’s Point Fish
Fry is said to be the
very first fish fry in the
entire Bahamas. It all
started approximately 40 years ago
when a fire destroyed a church in the
close-knit, beach front, community.
“It started about forty some-odd
years ago.” noted Terry. “My uncle,
Hiram Grant, and the rest of the
family got together and decided to
have a fish fry for the church. It
started over here, by the Snapper
Shoal, and after they raised enough
money for the church, the people
here in Smith’s Point decided to just
keep it going.”
