We will be taking off for our 2nd Curacao trip soon. Obviously, we had a great time the 1st time or we would not be going back. We will be staying in Westpunt.
Our first trip we were not able to find a good fish market. Tried the fishermen at the fishing dock; and they were mostly not interested in selling except to the locals. They also had a pretty strange assortment of fish, mostly Baracuda from what I could see. We went to the floating market in Williamstad one day and got some Grouper. It was fair, but the boat people haven't figured out the marvels of keeping fish fresh with ice. I suppose it would actually take quite a bit of ice to keep fish fresh all the way from the mainland. The main effect of that was the fish was not so good.
We love fresh seafood, being from the desert we try to eat our fill of it when on island vacations since we don't get anyting too fresh at home. We asked a couple of people at the dive shop about where to get fresh lobster etc. and they didn't really have any advice.
So, do any of you out there have any helpful clues? Sunshine, I bet you know some places; but it is possible they are just commercial I suppose.
Your input, as always, is greatly appreciated.
