The World's Strangest Street Food
Maracas Bay, Trinidad
If swimming in tropical waters gives you shark anxiety, exorcise it with one of these deep-fried sandwiches. Chunks of fatty black-tip shark meat stuffed into a pocket of fry bread, then topped with a sauce of tamarind or "shadow benny"—otherwise known as Mexican coriander—are yummy in a greasy beach-food kind of way. (Plus, when's the next time you'll get the chance to bite one of them?) Accidentally getting a little sand in your sandwich, and washing everything down with a cold Carib beer, is near mandatory.
Where to find it: Open-air vendors sell the dish all up and down the beach at Maracas Bay, but connoisseurs swear by only one: Richard's Bake n' Shark. It's the one with the red-and-white awnings and the long, long line.
