📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Titiri are juvenile gobies that arrive in schools at Dominica's river mouths in the days after a full moon. Islanders scoop them up with nets and mix them into batter with onion, green onion, and chili to fry as accra. It's an island treat you can only eat in season.

🌆 Where it's eaten: At a river mouth in Dominica at dawn, people scoop up tiny translucent fish with nets, and accras fried in the home kitchen pile up on plates.
