Lobster Season is ON!

[crewsweeper]

For those of you stopping in Grand Turk over the next month or so, local Caribbean lobster is in season. Don't know if Jimmy Buffets or other beach spots (don't think Jacks Shack fools with it though)cook it up, Local Village did but they're closed. But if you head downtown you might find it at Barbies, Sandbar, or Bohio Dive Resort (it's on their dinner menu) may have it for lunch. Ask around.

Did you say Local Village is closed? Please advise.

Yes. I think Arthur lost his lease. Supposedly there's a new place going in there. ITMT, Crew Bar between Buffetburg and old Local Village is suppose to be a nice substitute.

Will try Sandbar and be there right a noon :) to get out 2pm embarcation.

We will probably try Sandbar and get there right at noon, to make sure we can make it back in time for the 2pm departure. Thanks!

Is Grand Turk lobster crawfish?

I'm from Boston and am used to hardshell cold water lobsters. I wonder what a Caribbean warm water lobster is like.

No that's langostino or squat lobsters.

 

Caribbean lobsters are spiny lobsters (no claws), which have most of their meat in their tails. But the tail meat is similar in flavor to clawed lobsters.
