Gasaway Service Station & Mini Mart in Christiansted is preparing a three-day Creole & Market Day event running from Friday, October 30, through Sunday, November 1. The celebration grows from a two-day format held in 2025.

The weekend staples include tititwi acra, roasted johnny cakes, stuffed plantain, saltfish balls, salmon balls, white pudding, roasted and stuffed breadfruit, cassava bread, and saltfish with smoked herring. Roasted dasheen, ferchin (cow skin), saltfish cakes, homemade bread, butter flap, and ducana with saltfish round out the core offerings. Crab backs and ferchin will be in short supply.
Friday's Creole menu brings smoked turkey callaloo, crab callaloo, saltfish sanchoch with mashed breadfruit, smoked pork in papaya sauce, fried pot fish, pelau, chicken soup, and conch water.
