myTobago – your questions, review and comment about Tobago

Hi everyone ! Coming in May & was curious about the cost of fresh fish ? Also was the Castara Fishermans co-op ever finished ? All the best - Rick

On our last visit fish in Castara was $25 a pound.
Before cleaning. Lion fish $35. ( great tasting fish!) . Lobster can be same. I put lobster in the freezer first which seems a more humane(?) way to kill them before I clean them. Flying fish was €20, more fiddly to clean. A chap was selling 5lb of fresh shrimp for $100 . Shark can be a lot less.
Fish from the Seine betters ( worth getting involved!!) can be cheaper but catching and cooking your own Cavaly or greenback is a real treat.
No the , err, fishing facility has not been finished, there is an election due so there may be a flurry of activity in the new year along with a bit of road resurfacing etc ......

Thanks, Chris, but perhaps I should just mention that the prices Chris is quoting are in TTD - not USD.

Thanks Chris for the info . Steve I assumed TT's but thanks also . Amazing about the co-op building , I can't remember what year it started but it's been awhile .Coming in May [it's been awhile for me] can't wait !! All the best - Rick

Hi Rick

Sorry, didn't mean to be patronising or anything. I realised that an 'old-hand' like you would have know that, but I was more clarifying the point for the benefit of of new readers and/or those who are not so familiar with Tobago and who may have assumed that it was USD, making Tobago VERY expensive.

Cheers
Steve

No worries Steve no offence taken none meant . I would not like anyone to miss Tobago . It is a very special natural place that is disappearing in the caribbean . I would hate a misunderstanding too ! - Rick
