The Bermudian - Winter 2015

osa’s Relishes Win!

any a jaw dropped when
Rosa’s—a Tex Mex
restaurant—landed in
the top five finalists out
of the 40 restaurants
entered in the Bermuda Tourism Authority’s
Best Bermuda Fish Sandwich Competition.
To begin with, they didn’t even have a fish
sandwich on their menu!

However, not to be dissuaded by that simple fact, Rosa’s owner, Pamela Quarterly, entered the competition with faith that the restaurant manager Lindsay Durham’s family recipe was something special.

Described as fresh, local Bermuda fish piled high with tartar sauce, sweet and spicy coleslaw, cheese, red onions, lettuce and tomato on raisin or whole wheat bread with a

M

side of regular of sweet potato fries for $19, the winning fish sandwich was chosen by a panel of judges on August 19th. After more than 1,200 votes were collected in the ten-day long competition, and with four others in the final round of judging—including Mama Angie’s, Seaside Grill, Tribe Road Kitchen and Woody’s Restaurant—Rosa’s reigned supreme.

The judges included senior culinary arts lecturer at Bermuda College, Teneika Eve, the king of fishcakes himself, Dale Butler, and The Bermudian’s own publisher and editor, Tina Stevenson, who all participated in a blind taste-testing in front of a crowd at Harbour Nights.

“Winning Bermuda’s first Best Fish
Sandwich Competition was an amazing

experience,” said Quarterly. “Team Rosa’s, led by our own Lindsay Simmons Durham, and her family’s fish coating recipe did an outstanding job. Everyone in our organisation came together in a spirit of cooperation and unity to put out the best fish sandwich possible and we were thrilled our customers and the judges agreed. A job indeed well done for our dedicated team!”

With the winning fish sandwich now permanently added to the menu, we’re betting Rosa’s is the only place in Bermuda where you can get a fish sandwich and Rasta tacos with iguana eggs and churros! And don’t forget a margarita or mojito to wash it all down with.

The restaurant is open from 11:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. daily.

Together we can all make a GREEN Difference.
