Feel free to move this topic to a more appropriate board, but I will be in Kingston for the first time next month and I wanted to find out if there are any recommended spots for delicious (and preferably cheap) food. I was told Hellshire Beach and Port Royal are good locations for fresh cooked fish, but I haven’t gotten any specific recs. Any leads are appreciated 
Bumping my thread, since I leave next week. Look for budget-minded food recs in Kingston. Thanks!
Well, looks like I’ll just do a food report when I return
