Saltfish and dumplings — the only dish that coul

Saltfish and dumplings — the only dish that could derail my intentions at the famous rotisserie, La Reine Chicken Shack.⁠
⁠
For context, La Reine Chicken Shack is one of those joints where errrybody living on, or passing through, St. Croix eats. It's been written up in travel magazines, frequented by politicians and plays host to an annual coquito festival (@cruzanfoodie has more deets!). So, imagine bypassing their rotisserie chicken for the day's special of cured fish and white flour dumplings.⁠
⁠
It's because there's something special about this "poor man's food" or, more accurately, slave food stocked as the least expensive protein on plantations. Saltfish was a cheap provender for expendable people, who would ultimately transform these scraps into a flavorful, delicious meal.⁠
⁠
"Pick up saltfish," as it called because the cod is pulled apart, takes at least a day to prep (and tastes even better when the spices settle in!).⁠

Sour oranges 🍊 — they don’t get much more orange than this; as a matter of fact, I thought they were overgrown limes as a kid. They’re in season now, and every time I’ve bought or been gifted a few, it's come with a reminder that they make the best lemonade. [Pro tip: don’t ever tell a West Indian otherwise.]⁠
⁠
The fruit is native to Southeast Asia and was brought to the Caribbean by Europeans, most likely with the Spanish. The tree is naturalized now, and deeply entrenched in our culinary traditions. Squeeze it in the water when you’re cleaning fish and… chef’s kiss.⁠

Turtle hatchings are always pretty special, but the fact that this one happened out of season made the moment extra specially so. ✨⁠⁠
⁠⁠
On the southwestern tip of St. Croix is Sandy Point National Wildlife Refuge, the US's largest nesting beach for the (endangered) leatherback turtle. I spotted this little beauty trying to make her way into the sea when we were heading back to town after a long walk. She was clearly exhausted; leatherbacks like to nest on sandy beaches, and this section of the beach was particularly steep.⁠ I’m happy to report that she made it safely to the ocean. Here's hoping that she returns in 16 years. 🤞🏾⁠⁠

When I left the Islands for university, I had no intention of ever coming back. But, we humans, we are funny creatures. The farther I move away, the stronger I feel the pull of home. ⁠
