Our story
It started with two brothers
Before there was a kitchen, there were two brothers and a daiquiri recipe.
Identical twins Buddy and Danny McCardy grew up in a proud Eleuthera family and came to Nassau to work in the hotels. On the side, they started making frozen daiquiris the way the family liked them: fresh fruit, ice, and their own syrup mix.
The daiquiris earned a name of their own downtown at the Old Straw Market. Then the customers started asking for food, and the brothers listened. The stand became a restaurant, and the restaurant found its home on the water at Arawak Cay.
More than thirty years on, the same family still runs the room at the Fish Fry. The people who cook your conch and pour your daiquiri carry the name that's on the door. That's the part we're proudest to keep.
Some of the faces you'll see when you walk in.
The fresh-up tradition
Every year, you freshen up. Buddy and Danny started that, and we've never stopped.
Then
Now
The old dining room, and the room you'll sit in today.
So when you see fresh paint and a new bar, that's the tradition, not a trend. We keep the place cared for year after year, so it feels new every time you walk in. Lately, it's been the daiquiri bar's turn. Same fire-grill, same conch, same faces. Just freshened up, the way Buddy and Danny always meant it to be.
Our corner of Arawak Cay
We're right on the Fish Fry at Arawak Cay, where Nassau comes to eat on the water.
The Fish Fry is the island's row of waterfront kitchens, and Twin Brothers has cooked here for years. We're an easy 25-minute walk from the cruise ships at Prince George Wharf, minutes from downtown Nassau, and right by the beach. Come off the boat, spend the afternoon on the sand, and finish at our table on the water.

Arawak Cay is our home, but it's not the only place you'll find us. The family runs smaller Twin Brothers spots across the islands, where locals grab conch salad, conch fritters, daiquiris, drinks and a few other small bites on the way home. Same name, same kitchen, same people.
