My Man's Man

The best conch fritters in the BVI can be found at Corsairs.  When we told them that they all laughed and said "you know why we have the best conch fritters?  Because there’s conch in them!"  But it was more than that – they were spicy and full of conch.  I had to take a picture of Bill and Barbara’s plate because Frank and I had already polished ours off by the time I realized I wanted a picture of them!

Corsairs is located in Great Harbor, Jost Van Dyke and it’s run by Vinny – the same Vinny from Rocky Mountain Harley-Davidson.  Vinny spends November to July in the BVI and July to November in Colorado – what a life!  I asked him what it took to open a business in the BVI and he said if I applied now, my great-grandchildren might get the permit!

Everybody raved about their meal – not just the conch fritters.  Our six year old loved the place – Vinny gave him a gun to shoot pirates with and he used it to target lizards with. 

So if you are in the BVI, don’t miss Corsairs!

When we are in San Francisco Frank and I always have one dinner in our hotel room.  We go down to Fisherman’s Wharf, buy a lot of crab, some bread, clam chowder and a bottle of wine.  Then we go back to our hotel room, order some melted butter and wine glasses and have a feast.

A couple of tips:

• If you order the melted butter from room service, check the quantity and the price.  One year we got a pound of melted butter for $17!
• Make sure to order a cork screw when you order the wine glasses!

Enjoy!
