Is there any place in SXM to purchase live fresh lobster, possibly right off the boat?

I know I've seen lobsters crawling around the "sinks" in the Marigot market. Whether they were caught that morning or not, I can't say. They sell seafood there on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

Yes there is a place, just as you;re in the circle at the south end of the airport there is a large building with a big red cross on it. My son purchased 4 3lb. lobsters last year. Don't know the name of the place. Will be buying more in a few weeks when we return. Good luck

PS....Forgot to mention, they were so big that I didn't have a pot large enough to cook them in, so my son had to use the BBQ grill. Onlookers offered to buy them!!!!

Better price at market. I thought the Lobster place by airport would have been less expansive, but it was not. Don't know what the price is per pound, but a lot more than what you would pay for a lobster in the northeast. Still something special about eating local lobster in the islands.

Cost last year for the 4 - 3Lb. lobsters was $150. 2 Years ago when eating at Skip Jack's my son orgered a 3 lb. lobster and it was $75.00. My granddaughter wanted a 1 lb. lobster and they wouldn't sell it to us. Said the 1 lb. ones were for the surf & turf. Will find out this year's prices soon enough...
