Clyde’s Caribbean Opens at Time Out Market
Clyde’s Caribbean – a contemporary Trinidadian concept by Christopher Leacock (AKA Jillionaire, formerly of electronic dance music DJ trio Major Lazer) – has opened inside Time Out Market. Named after Leacock’s grandfather, Clyde Byer (the Caribbean island’s first black registrar general), the menu features dishes that explore Trinidad’s depth of flavors and its cultural influences from the Indian and African diaspora. Look for codfish fritters with a tamarind dipping sauce; jerk chicken and salmon with fragrant coconut rice and sweet plantains; curried crab and dumplings; and the bake and fish sandwich, a popular street-food item made with lightly fried mahi-mahi in fried dough bread with pickled slaw, tamarind, cilantro, and garlic sauce. To celebrate the opening, Clyde’s Caribbean and Time Out Market will host a three-day Trinidad Carnival-themed celebration from Friday through Sunday, featuring traditional Carnival costumes, brunch service, and live DJ performances. Friday, February 25, through Sunday, February 27, at Time Out Market, 1601 Drexel Ave., Miami Beach; 786-753-, 88; timeoutmarket.com.
