The SeaRock Journal is where the waterfront slows down enough to tell its stories. It is part dining guide, part love letter to Grand Cayman - written for visitors planning their first island dinner and for Caymanians who simply like to read about the food they grew up with.
Here you will find honest guides to the best seafood in George Town, the heritage of conch and turtle, where to eat near the cruise port, how to read a Caribbean rum list, and the thinking behind the dishes Chef Thushara Siriwardana sends out at SeaRock. Every piece is written by the people who run the restaurant - so it is practical, specific and genuinely useful when you are deciding where to dine on Grand Cayman.
From his grandmother's kitchen in Sri Lanka to twenty years in Grand Cayman's finest kitchens - the story behind the cooking at SeaRock, and the conch chowder, wahoo fritters and fresh reef fish that built the chef's reputation on island.
