This hard-shelled crustacean dwells in swamps around both Trinidad & Tobago. Blue crabs bear 8 regular legs and 2 claws or gundys (local name). Crabs typically walk sideways but in Tobago they also race sideways.

A jockey ties a string to the crab’s gundy and uses a pole to coax it towards the finish line. Blue crabs are also a component of Tobago’s popular “Crab and Dumpling”, a dish of crab stewed with curry and coconut milk and served with flat flour dumplings.

The coconut is a versatile fruit enjoyed in Trinidad & Tobago. A vendor staple, the top is chopped off, and the “water” inside enjoyed straight from the shell. Splitting it, you can use piece of the shell to scoop the sweet gelatin-like jelly inside. The hardened jelly of older nuts is used to make sweet treats such as ice cream and sugar cake, or pureed to create coconut milk – a staple for oil down, curries and calalloo. Even the last bit, the husk and the shell, can be used in agriculture as potting material.

Trinidad & Tobago supports one of the largest leatherback nesting populations worldwide with an estimated 6,000 visiting its shores annually.

Leatherbacks, like all sea turtles, start out as eggs buried in sandy nests. The hatchlings face many predators as they scamper seaward. It is estimated that only one in a thousand leatherback turtles survive to adulthood.
