Cook One of Sandals® Saint Vincent's Newest Signature Dishes.

Like what you see? Good — you've got taste.
Our culinary crew at Sandals doesn't just cook meals — they serve up the soul of the islands on every plate. And today, they're handing over the secrets to one of their freshest hits from Saint Vincent and The Grenadines.

The overwater rooms at Sandals Saint Vincent bring you closer to the Caribbean spirit—lounge above soft white sand, dip into the bluest waters, and savor bottomless drinks with all your cravings covered. We've got the cookin' handled.

Meet Scrimshaw — a new kind of Caribbean dining experience where local flavors meet world-class technique. It's where you'll find dishes that celebrate what's fresh, what's local, and what's next. Like our Scallop and Bok Choy — silky, tender, citrus-bright, and full of umami. It's a dish that says “Vicentian Vibes Only” and brings the sea straight to your table.

Now, it's your turn to bring that same energy home. The Caribbean's a lot closer than you think, just start cooking.
