📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Cutter is what Barbadians call a sandwich: a round, salty 'salt bread' roll filled with fried fish, ham, cheese, and so on. A fish cutter holds fried flying fish or mahi-mahi with lettuce, tomato, and Bajan pepper sauce, a staple at seaside rum shops.

🌆 Where it's eaten: At a small shop near a Barbados beach, fried fish is tucked into a round roll, doused with yellow pepper sauce, and handed over.
