With its rolling hills, fertile land and clear, clean surrounding seas there is much to choose from and all of it packs a flavour punch. Most farms sell garden produce such as milk and eggs, whilst there are a number of grocers, fishmongers, butchers and farmers markets around the island specialising in local fare. Alternatively stop at a country pub, quayside café or fine restaurant to enjoy the rich pickings.
The island has a host of its own local products and ingredients to show off, from local bread, flour, full-flavoured cheeses and luscious lamb to 60 flavours of creamy, rich Manx ice cream. The same people who make the ice cream, Davisons, are also responsible for producing delicious local chocolates. Another local favourite is bonnag, a type of crumbly, fruity cake not dissimilar to a scone.
Perhaps the island’s most famous food though is the Manx kipper, which has been a tradition since the late 1800s; herrings are caught locally in the Irish Sea, then cut, salted and smoked with oak chips to give them a unique flavour. Smoked salmon is a speciality here as well. Look out too for Manx Queenies, queen scallops served with a white or cheese sauce. Crab and lobster are commercially fished. Cod, ling and mackerel are often fished for the table and freshwater trout and salmon can be taken from the local rivers and lakes.
Specialities
• Queen scallops.
• Spuds and Herrin (boiled potatoes and herring).
• Manx kippers (smoked herring).
• Bonnag (a flat loaf of bread).
• Davison's ice cream, made in Peel.
• Chips, cheese and gravy somewhat like Quebec's poutine.
Things to know
Pubs usually open Mon-Thurs 1000-2300, Fri-Sat 1000-2400. On Sunday, pubs open 1200-2300. These times can vary according to individual pubs, as 24-hour licensing is now permitted. Special opening hours apply to the Easter and Christmas/New Year periods.
Tipping
In hotels, a service charge of 10 to 12% is usual, which may be added to the bill. 10 to 15% is usual for restaurants; if this has already been added to the bill, a further tip is not required.
Drinking age
18.
Regional drinks
The island’s brewery, Okells is the sole authorized Manx brewery; the ales and lagers they produce are served in pubs all around the island. The Isle of Man also benefits from a law saying that beer can have no ingredient other than water, yeast, hops and malt, meaning that the finished product is typically very tasty. Manx Ale is indigenous to the island; matured in oak casks, it’s imbued with a distinctive flavour and aroma.
• Real Manx Ale.
• Manx whiskey, gin and vodka.
• Kella whiskey.

Main Lemon grass fettuccini with seared shrimp and scallops
Serves: 8
Preparation time: 1 hour
Cooking time:40 minutes
2 red peppers 2 (10 oz) cans condensed chicken broth
4 inch (10 cm) piece fresh unpeeled ginger, thinly sliced, about 1 cup (250 mL)
6 to 8 stalks lemongrass, about 2 bunches
2 cups container whipping or table cream
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 cup cold water
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (optional)
1 tablespoon salt
1 pound bay or sea scallops
1 pound frozen or defrosted, raw shelled medium-size shrimp
2 pounds fettuccine
1 tablespoon ( 15 ml) each of butter and vegetable oil
1. Preheat oven to 450F (230C). Slice peppers in half and remove seeds.
Place cut-side down on a baking sheet lined with foil. Roast, uncovered, until peppers are partially charred, from 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven, pull up edges of foil, wrap around hot peppers and seal. Set aside to cool.
2. Meanwhile, pour broth into a wide saucepan. Add ginger. Thinly slice root ends from lemongrass and discard. Remove any dried outer leaves. Pound stalks to flatten slightly. Slice into 1/2-inch (1-cm) pieces. Add to broth. Place over high heat. When boiling, reduce heat to medium or medium-high so broth gently boils. Boil, uncovered, until reduced to 1 cup (250 ml). This should take at least 20 minutes. Broth will taste very strong. Saving broth, strain and discard ginger and lemongrass.
3. Return broth to saucepan set over medium-high heat. Add cream. In a small dish using a fork, stir cornstarch with water to form a smooth paste. Whisk into hot cream broth and whisk almost constantly until thickened, from 3 to 4 minutes. Taste and stir in lemon juice, if you like. Cover and remove from heat. If making ahead, refrigerate in a sealed jar for up to 2 days.
4. About 15 minutes before serving, bring a large pot of water and salt to a boil. If using sea scallops, slice in half. Rinse frozen shrimp with cold water to remove clinging ice crystals. Then drain and pat dry. Prepare roasted peppers by draining juice accumulated in foil into a small bowl. Peel off charred skins and discard. Slice peppers into bite-size strips and add to juice. Set aside.
5. When water is boiling rapidly, add pasta and cook, uncovered and stirring occasionally, until al dente, from 8 to 10 minutes. Meanwhile, heat oil and butter in a wide frying pan set over medium- high heat. Add seafood and stir-fry until scallops are lightly browned and shrimp are bright pink, about 4 minutes. Stir in peppers and juice. Drain pasta well. In a large bowl, stir pasta with cream sauce until coated. Place in pasta bowls and spoon seafood mixture over top.

Side Dish Tomato water
Tomato Water tastes like concentrated summer garden in a sip.
So, what is Tomato Water is the flavorful, fragrant liquid that releases from ripe tomatoes when they're cut. So, the stuff that ends up all over your cutting board when you're slicing tomatoes. Which is such a waste really, because it has SO much flavor.
Use it to make cocktails, flavorful sparkling water, dressings, pasta and more.
Serves: 4
1 teaspoon sea salt
Serves: 4
Preparation time:10 minutes
4 large fresh tomatoes or 5-7 medium1 teaspoon sea salt
Set a fine-mesh strainer over a large bowl, and line the strainer with cheesecloth.
Add the tomato water ingredients to a blender or food processor, and pulse until pulpy or finely chopped. (You may need to cut the tomatoes or in large chunks to get it next to the blade. If you do, make sure to pour any extra juice in with them!)
Pour the mixture into the prepared strainer, and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or up to a day.
Tip: for clear tomato water, don’t press or stir the pulp.
Keep in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
A favorite application for Tomato Water is, by far, the Farmers Market cocktail. It's like a wine-based Bloody Mary, and it might be my favorite libation ever.
Mix 5 ounces California Pinot Noir,Gamay, Cinsault, Grenache, Counoise
with 3 ounces tomato water. Add
Dash of sea salt, and Ice. Garnish with: tomato + basil + fresh mozzarella on toothpick
*make a “Spicy Farmers Market” by adding 3 slices of fresh jalapeno or serrano pepper.

You can double this recipe if you have a bowl + strainer big enough. You can add fresh herbs or peppers or even an onion. It's your tomato goodness, after all. Once you try it, I'm pretty sure you'll be making it again.
You can also use the water to make a more traditional Bloody Mary with vodka, use it in vinaigrette + salad dressing for knockout flavor, or use it in place of vegetable stock.
You can make Tomato Sorbet. You can even drink it by itself, which is what I often do. Sometimes with a little ice and a squeeze of lemon or a splash of club soda. Sometimes straight - no chaser.

Side Dish Porcini mushroom gratin
Serves: 6
Preparation time:30 minutes
Cooking time:30 minutes
200 g dried porcini mushrooms500 g fresh mushrooms (you can use a variety like button, cremini, or portobello)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
200 ml heavy cream
200 ml milk
50g grated Parmesan cheese
50g grated Gruyere cheese
2 tablespoons butter
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh thyme leaves for garnish (optional)
500g (1 lb) potatoes, thinly sliced (optional, for a potato layer)
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Start by rehydrating the dried porcini mushrooms. Place them in a bowl and cover with hot water. Let them soak for about 20 minutes or until they are soft. Drain and chop them coarsely.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté until they become translucent.
Add the fresh mushrooms and rehydrated porcini mushrooms to the skillet. Cook them until they release their moisture and start to brown. This should take about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
In a separate saucepan, heat the heavy cream and milk over low heat. Once it's warm, add half of the grated Parmesan and half of the grated Gruyere cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth. Season with a bit of salt and pepper.
If you want to add a layer of potatoes, arrange the thinly sliced potatoes in a greased baking dish first. Then layer the mushroom mixture on top.
Pour the cheese sauce over the mushrooms and potatoes (if using).
Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan and Gruyere cheese on top of the gratin.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the gratin is bubbling.

Add the fresh mushrooms and rehydrated porcini mushrooms to the skillet. Cook them until they release their moisture and start to brown. This should take about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
In a separate saucepan, heat the heavy cream and milk over low heat. Once it's warm, add half of the grated Parmesan and half of the grated Gruyere cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth. Season with a bit of salt and pepper.
If you want to add a layer of potatoes, arrange the thinly sliced potatoes in a greased baking dish first. Then layer the mushroom mixture on top.
Pour the cheese sauce over the mushrooms and potatoes (if using).
Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan and Gruyere cheese on top of the gratin.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the gratin is bubbling.
Garnish with fresh thyme leaves if desired and serve your delicious gratin aux porcini hot.
