Most of the food available in the Torres Strait is seafood, but on Prince of Wales island feral deer can be hunted. If you have made friends with the islanders, you may be invited to join in feasts which include traditional foods such as turtle and dugong. Relish this opportunity. It is considered quite rude to refuse an invitation in Torres Strait Culture. But also be aware that turtles and dugongs are threatened species not endangered yet, just threatened and it is illegal to hunt these animals yourself if you are not an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander. General stores are found on all the inhabited Islands, and there are also several restaurants on Thursday island, mainly along Douglas Street. Try "Island Rooster" for nice roast chicken. Behind one of the pubs you can purchase superb "kilogram burgers".
