We have gone down to the dock by Captain Oliver's and bought fresh fish from the boats coming in there for a very good price when we stayed on the French side. They used to come in about 5:00 P.M. on Tuesday, Friday and Sunday evenings.It was only about 30 minutes from the boat to the table straight off the grill! You can't get anything fresher than that!

The fishing boat does not come into Oyster Pond anymore, unless they have started again recently. I know that they didn't when we last visited the island last February.

what kind of fish, pretty broad answer. Pot fish, Mahi, Snapper, or Tuna, all prices vary widely

I think he was responding to a question as to the price of lobster.

Not paying taxes from what I heard. The boat was seized and sold out of St. Martin.
