-
Can you deliver alcoholic beverages?Yes, we can! The legal drinking age in the US Virgin Islands is 18. You will be asked to verify your age when you order. We’ll take it from there. By the way, if you haven’t tasted our local craft brews, vodka and rum, you’re in for a treat! We also carry a great selection of fine wines and champagne.
-
What does market price mean?Some of our most delicious foods are priced at the time we purchase them. Fresh-caught fish and lobsters are good examples. Your total purchase might vary slightly in these instances.
-
What’s the difference between local Caribbean lobster and Maine lobster?If you haven’t had Caribbean “spiny” lobster, you are in for a taste sensation! Not to take anything away from Maine lobster, also known as American lobster, because they’re delicious, but we have a soft spot for the spiny kind. Unlike Maine lobster, our local lobster is tail meat only. That’s right, no claw meat. This makes the catch that much more precious. The texture and flavor, however, are similar to Maine lobster but our island recipes bring a whole lot more than garlic butter to your lobster party. In our meal kits and in the local restaurants on St Thomas and St John, you’ll find mouth-watering combinations involving curry, mango, peppers, onions and countless varieties of sauces and spices for steaming, poaching, grilling and of course, eating our yummy Caribbean lobsters. Currently, lobsters need to be reserved a week in advance. At the moment, they are fresh frozen Caribbean tails.
-
How do I know my groceries are fresh?We check each item for an expiration or pull date to make sure that you are only receiving the best possible quality item. We also source local and high-demand products directly from island growers, butchers, bakers, fishermen and chefs to ensure you get the products you want when you arrive.
