Fresh Fish

Is there a market or someplace in town to buy fresh seafood to cook while we're on the island? If so, what kind of seafood would be available?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Mostly fish, in the gas station they have the fishermen association.
Very good people there, ask for Elias... I can get their phone later if you wish...

There is also a small, but good mini market close to the gas staiton, they sell good meats.

Nice stay,

We had no luck getting fresh fish on either island. We went to this fisherman's co-op several times, due to the recent spate of weather (rain and high seas) no one was fishing according to the woman who worked there. We were very disappointed as this was something we were highly looking forward to (even though we live in Maine). She did have some in the freezer, but they were whole fish, my husband knows how to fillet, but hadn't brought his fillet knife with him (and if you do, obviously put that in checked baggage). We didn't have any luck at the local fisherman's place on Vieques either. :(

IF it was me I'll get the fish. In Culebra may be more dificult, maybe at any specific time or not the same day, but you get fish.
It is very strange not to get fish on Vieques, maybe our friend needed some type, size, time, ... something very so specific and difficult to obtain.

No, we were just looking for anything fresh. Because of the weather while we were there, we were being told repeatedly that it wasn't good for fishing.

rough weather (meaning high seas and wind) usually - and understandably - deters people and fishermen from going out on the water ...

It's a pity the conditions were that way when you visited. There definitely IS fresh fish. But even in good weather conditions you have to look for 'fresh', since a good portion of the locally caught fish will get frozen.

Buen Provecho

Enjoy Culebra!
