In R.cgiy to: Is fresh seafood available in grocery stores? posted by Paul on April 08, 19100 at 09:31:27:
Surprisingly, the grocery stores don't offer much seafood and that which is available does not appear to be locally gotten.
The Marina Market at Red Hook on St. Thomas across the street from the ferry had huge shrimp at very high prices and I have also seen tuna steaks at the Tropicale Market on St. John. I have seen locals buying fresh fish in town by the BVI ferry dock and you could too. But the fish were "as caught" and you would have to clean and gut them yourself (ugh!). Also the types did not look familiar and I'm not sure how you would cook them.
We bring peeled frozen shrimp and stuffed crab meat with us to satisfy our seafood cravings. Also the Lime Inn Restaurant has an "All you can eat Shrimp Night" on either Tuesdays or Wednesdays.
Have a wonderful trip.
