Do any of you know where to buy fresh fish because we plan on cooking in a few nights. Then afterwards, perhaps a stroll down to Gus's beach bar (especially if they have live music). <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/circle.gif" alt="" />

There was also a discussion about thisrecently naming and showing pictures ofvthecfresh fish department of one of the major supermarkets - perhaps Carrefour? I didn't realize the The Baie Rouge places were open at night! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> Respectfully, pat "Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them."

Are all the old Grand Marche stores now Carrefours ((so?) or is it only the one in Kole Bay? <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> Respectfully, pat "Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them."

Hope it's not just snapper which is not on my favorite list, but if they have grouper then <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/dine.gif" alt="" />

Kind of ironic for me because as a scuba instructor I have spent a great part of my life diving with them and had no idea they were even edible..let alone so tasty.
