Thats all well and good but if you import them you still have to put them in a pen to keep them alive!!!....given the business levels and subsequent food demands at these big slick sterile restaurants these days, there is little chance of them only using locally sourced bugs....they won't get enough product....they have to import..... The little guys are a different story

Really miss that place. Good food and good people.
New Born was incredible . . . remember the tanks that had salt water brought in by pipe to keep the lobsters fresh? I remember the fisherman/brothers -- David & Franckie, working with lovely SBH-family parents running the place. I think that one of the brothers continues to be a fisherman, & I think the other one became a taxi driver. It was a classic St. Barths family business.

thats the St Barts I fell in love with and kept coming back to......not the homogenized, sterilized, pasteurized and corporate St Barts which sadly gets more deeply rooted

Now, now, we're not supposed to be judgemental. Those are the things some people like on their French vacation.

A little research reveals that two species of Sériole are officially banned on SBH and SXM from sale due to ciguatera. Presumedly, this Amberjack is not local.

Manu tells us he gets them locally from people who go about 2 hours out from the island. Where do the lobsters come from that they sell from time to time at the fish stand near the hill up toward the turn off to Pte. Milou?

The resurrection of this thread allows me to better understand Kevin's post, which was lost on me when he made it.
About a month later, I took this shot.
