Don't Be Chicken

Our first dinner in Martinique was at La Sirene, the restaurant at our hotel. The two staple foods in Martinique are chicken and fish and this dinner was all about the chicken! It was an organized prix fixe men or some local dishes. This meal seemed more French-inspired to me than the rest of the food we ate after that in Martinique. We started with a little paté dish topped with cornichons and a black olive. The petit plat (appetizer to us) was a chicken dish. It was served cold almost like a chicken salad it was light and refreshing.The main dish was a cooked chicken dish with a very yummy sauce. I’m trying to recall the exact flavours but all I know is it was delicious! It was accompanied by some local vegetables, fried plantain Overall it was too much food for any one person but it was very comforting food and it put us all to bed afterwards.
