We spent the afternoon at a sleepy little fishing village on the northeastern edge of St. Kitts. On the way through the village we saw lobster traps being constructed and I would have taken pictures but that seemed intrusive at the time. While beach combing I observed a local fisherman with a dozen conch that he was extracting from their shells. Very interesting. He did not want his picture taken.
On the way to this village we passed a large number of lobster buoys just off shore on the Caribbean side. When the restaurants say "fresh lobster", indeed it is fresh, as are the conch fritters.

A reef protects the shoreline to make this a natural safe harbor for the local fishing fleet.

With Kyle and Amy heading northward along the beach a boat of local fisherman head out to place a lobster trap.
Hi Ben - looks like a nice day! Yum, fresh lobster (sounds better than goats head soup...)
ReplyDeleteBob, I found a place on the island that sells Philly Cheese Steak sandwiches. Sadly, this was at Domino's Pizza and probably they won't have that genuine Philly neighbourhood taste. Ben
DeleteBen - hrmph, sorry - I didn't get any notification of your reply. I was checking for some new blogs, let's get on that :-p LOL, you found the Philly Cheesesteak. Well now you have to buy a nice pair of prescription goggles for snorkeling and then have a cheesesteak. I'd love to join you on that expedition!
