I'll be in Grand Cayman for a week. Is there anything worth trying there? Any native items that I shouldn't miss?

I don't have high culinary expectations for the trip. We're traveling with a one year old, so that limits us as well.

Some friends our meeting us and have offered to watch the boy for night. I know that Eric Ripert has a restaurant in the Ritz-Carlton there. Worth it or not?

I will certain be sampling Seven Fathoms Rum. It's aged underwater! (Yeah, I'm skeptical as well.)

Tortuga Rum Cakes, check that place out. Nifty little company that specializes in Rum Cake. They also sell small eats there, like beef patty, not too good however...

Also for a pit stop, there's a place called Hell. Just an inverted terrain that looks like "Hell". http://en.wikipedia....l,_Grand_Cayman

P.S. Stopped at those two sites while on a cruise this past Christmas, both worth checking out imo. Also, there's a turtle/animal farm if your into that sorta thing.

I just arrived on Grand Cayman for about a four day's stay. I've heard I should try conch--how? where? anything else?
