Everyone wants to eat great when on vacation.

And in the Caribbean, you can't go wrong with local flavors.

Marigot Bay Resort By Capella details five great dishes you have to try on your next visit to Saint Lucia.

Freshness is the name of the game, as well as seafood.

For starters, saltfish is a mush in Saint Lucia. It's the national dish that typically "consists of kippered herring or dried and salted cod that has been cured with dry salt, soaked overnight, and preserved," per the Marigot Bay Resort blogger.

Two other seafood based meals to try are Accra, which is fried salted cod mixed with spices, and pepper pots, which is a stew that includes herbs and produce from Saint Lucia and either fish or meat.

For a unique, fresh flavor, you'll want to try breadfruit. No, it's not just fruit on top of bread. It's a savory fruit with a tropical flavor that you can boil or stuff and dip in different sauces.

And last but not least, try some callaloo fruit on your next visit to Saint Lucia. Chefs take the leaves of callaloo plant that is found all around the islands of the Caribbean, and they add in "okra, coconut milk, onions, potatoes and garlic" as well as some type of seafood or seasoned meat.
