Hi everyone,
First of all thanks for all the valuable information I've found in this forum about Culebra, the best so far. I'm going to Culebra in a couple of weeks for the first time. I would love to be able to cook delicious dinners while I am there in my kitchen, and I not sure how easy is to buy fish, meat or other products. Is there a place to buy fresh fish?. Do you recommend also to get some other basic products in San Juan before I take the ferry to Culebra?, I 've heard the supermarket at Culebra doesn't have too many options....thanks, Helen.

You'll find in Culebra most of your groceries, however, very personal, and fresh items, you should bring.
Very good meats can be found, at MILKAS, and other places.
Fish... frozen, unless you talk at the fishermen's place and wait for fresh fish from THE BOAT.
My advise, never buy big fish, better look for 2,3,4, ponders.
Ciguatera is a bad thing to get.
And ALL, ALL fishes in the caribbean, are known to have that poison.
The poison, is mostly found in fishes whose weight is over 10 pounds.
ANY KIND OF FISH.

For what its worth.....we were told many of the fruits and vegetables come over on Tuesdays. We found the grocery stores to be lacking in this regard and from what I was saw, it is not easy to find these things on the island. Other than that, the grocery stores were basically a step up (albeit a small one) from a 7-11. Plan on eating out at night and grabbing a sandwhich for lunch. We cooked our breakfasts in the kitchen at Tamarindo.
