La Fête du Crabe!
This year the religious holiday Pentecost fell on Sunday, May 27. As usual, many of the restaurants prepared traditional local dishes, with an emphasis on crab. For example, La Route de Boucaniers, on the harbor in Gustavia, offered such local treats as pâté de crabe (3) for 6€, crabe farci for 7€, matété de crabe for 12€, pâté de lambi for 6€, boudin (2) for 2€, colombo de coq for 13€ and dombrés de crabe, lambi or queue de porc (pork tails) for 16€. Easter and many of the other religious holidays, such as Ascension and Pentecost, are great opportunities to sample some of these delicious local dishes.
