Panchi's Seafood has been a local dining destination for decades and has been serving the community as the traditional hangout spot on late night Friday into Saturday mornings.
Long ago, Panchi used to serve his fresh seafood starting at 12am Saturday midnight until the early morning. But as of 2022, he has now been serving from early Saturday mornings at 7:00AM until food sells out ... and it typically DOES!
Panchi's Seafood is located in Gallows Bay, Christiansted, St. Croix.
Although there's no actual street address number, directions are as follows:
Drive East Heading out of Christiansted town, MAKE THE FIRST LEFT after you pass La Bahia Bar (formerly a gas station). This road hugs the coastline into Gallows Bay and after the 2nd speed bump, you will see cars parked up along the road and a crowd of people socializing.
Panchi's typically has a staple menu consisting of:
* potfish, snapper (stewed or fried) and he sometimes has "old wife" and kingfish too.
* conch : fritters or balls
* conch watah (a broth of conch)
* banana fritters
* kallaloo (seafood stew with greens)
* johnnycake
* benyae
* saltfish fritters
And fresh juices.
He also carries beer & other alcoholic beverages.
Panchi's is a cultural tradition for many and it's a gathering space to talk and catch-up with others.
PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS A CASH ONLY PLACE
I CANNOT recommend coming here enough AND I qualify it as A MUST when on island.
Also note that there is no restroom nearby except down the street at the stores or café and there's limited bench seating.
