About St Croix's Restaurants and
Food... Succulent clawless Caribbean lobster, with a tail rich
in pure white meat. Fresh caught mahi mahi (which is a fish locally
called Dolphin, but is not the porpoise!), served island style with
pungent local spices. Today's catch of yellowfin tuna, broiled,
baked, or perhaps with the chef's special Caribbean herb and spice
mixture. Conch chowder for starters, key lime pie and Cruzan coffee
for closers. And of course, aged Black Angus steaks for those who
can travel but cannot go without! Dining on St. Croix is a magical
whirl of gourmet chefs, local delicacies, open air seaside
restaurants, moonlit nights, and no jackets required.
Paradise
found! Although you can't eat atmosphere, you can drink it in! Some
of the island's nicest restaurants are in historic courtyards,
overlooking marinas, on the beach, in the finest resorts, and tucked
away in places that say "call for directions." From beach bars to
those establishments featured on national television, every meal is
a highlight of your vacation. For local delights, stop at the food
vans selling Roti, sort of a West Indian burrito, and Salt fish
Pate, deep fried and great with a cold beer! Be sure to sample the
West Indian Pig Roasts and buffets offered at the resorts! Major
credit cards are accepted, and reservations are preferred. A word to
the wise: ties and jackets are definitely not in fashion for the
gentlemen; ladies, it's either casual or casual elegance.
Did
you know... Each April, St Croix restaurateurs host one of the
most unique and exciting entertainment and culinary events in all of
the Caribbean. The event, "A
Taste of St Croix", came
about as a way to showcase the diverse and wonderful eateries of
this spectacular island. For such a small place, St Croix boasts
some of the region's finest culinary talent. With over 40 chefs
competing for top honors in seven food categories, the event is a
gastronomical blast.
