I would like to know what type of meat is available in local supermarkets and a price range for the meat. Also the availability of fresh seafood--shrimp, scallops, lobster and whatever white fish is available on the vi. We will be spending time on St.Thomas as well as St.John. Also the avisability of bringing frozen meat on the flight.
Bonnie, if you look back a bit, this subject has already been discussed in detail. have a GREAT vacation!
Click Search and type "Taking frozen meat to STJ" to find the thread on meat prices, freshness, taking frozen down with you, etc. We discussed it less than a month ago.
