Bake N Shark, also called Bake ‘N’ Shark is a popular traditional fast food of Trinidadian cuisine. This classic pocket sandwich can be easily found in street stalls and beach shacks throughout the island region.

What makes it more appealing is the variety of side dips and dishes it goes with from mango chutney to sliced cucumbers. Bake refers to the several types of bread used in the sandwich, grilled or fried.
