fresh caught fish

Is there a local spot, preferable french side that i can buy fish as it comes off the boat?

there is a market in Marigot. I bleive the fish market is open on Tues and Thurs but i may be wrong. The fish is fresh caught and usually cleaned on the boat as it is being brought to the market

Wednesday & Saturday

thanks for the correction. I thought i had that wrong.

Thank you. Big Help.

We have gone down to the dock by Captain Oliver's and bought fresh fish from the boats coming in there for a very good price when we stayed on the French side. They used to come in about 5:00 P.M. on Tuesday, Friday and Sunday evenings.It was only about 30 minutes from the boat to the table straight off the grill! You can't get anything fresher than that!

Make sure you get there early, early.....they are in the permanent booths with red roofs....facing the water.....kate <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/canada.gif" alt="" />

The fishing boat does not come into Oyster Pond anymore, unless they have started again recently. I know that they didn't when we last visited the island last February.

I was in Marigot this morning at 9. Fresh fish and lobsters were available.

Have never purchased spiny lobster fresh in Marigot. Any ideas on avg. p/pound price?

every day you can get fresh fish at Marigot market if you go early enough

Asked one of the vendors last Sat morning. The price was $12/lb

what kind of fish, pretty broad answer. Pot fish, Mahi, Snapper, or Tuna, all prices vary widely

I think he was responding to a question as to the price of lobster.

if so, that's a pretty good price

That boat has been gone for years now.

Really? What happened to that boat?

Not paying taxes from what I heard. The boat was seized and sold out of St. Martin.

Barbara - how early is "early enough"?

Thanks.
