Fish trap
Anyone eat at the fish trap lately? I'm intrigued by the new additions to the menu, and the fact that Aaron Willis is (purportedly) back. We ate there a few years ago, and it was just okay, but I'm willing to give it another shot.

We ate there right afte Aaron re-opened in June and it was very good. We had dinner there the first night and went back for appetizers on our last night.
I would not rank it up with Stone Terrace, but it was a very good meal and we will go back next year.
My very good friend, Sharon, is a server there. Tell her that Dominica sent you!

I agree with XIG and Anthony. We ate there July 2007 and it was good, but not great. We returned this past July and thought it was much improved. I don't recall what we ordered, except I know it was seafood and it was well prepared and the portions were decent. I do remember having a lime-n-coconut or maybe two.
Our waiter's name was Wade and when he introduced himself, the first thing bayer and I thought of was On-STJ's Wade the Shark. We thought it was a funny coincident, but didn't mention it to him. I wish I had said something, because we founnd out the next night that he's Wade the Shark's namesake. So, if anyone else gets Wade the waiter, you'll know.

Aaron is just back from vacation and second the opinion that whatever he does is good to great. At Fishtrap I either go low end with fish & chips or something or skip the menu and go to the specials list. The specials list almost always has something that appeals to me & its usually great. Lots of people do the menu but I don't do a lot of fish so when I go to Fishtrap I prefer to, well, have fish!

Fish Trap is improved. I've been in a couple of times and it's been good...not Stone Terrace, but "solid". They are doing the seafood market still, but they are doing it out of the restaurant now. One of my favorite people on island works at Fish Trap on Tuesday and Saturday, Boo... so if you go, tell her I say hi (and don't forget to tip here really big )

Fish Trap Recent
My wife and I ate there just last week. The food was good. Not great, but not bad. Service was as expected, but the Key Lime tart was awesome
The Fish Trap store, however, is not in operation due to the increased cost for electricity in the VI. Word is they will still sell fresh fish from the restaurant, but not the store.
