On our third trip to St. John we had to make it to Fish Trap again. We weren't impressed this time. The food was OK and the service was good...it didn't blow us away as in times past. more

Chef Aaron Willis works wonders with fish and sauces! He is willing to share recipes and tips on food preparation. He also makes an amazing coconut cake with warm caramel rum sauce! We ate here twice, were remembered and welcomed back on our second trip there. The staff was all friendly and efficient. There is a fish market in front... more

We visited The Fish Trap for dinner a few days ago. Our expectations were high because we'd read so many positive reviews about the place and gotten recommendations from locals. We got to the restaurant before 6:00, so it was nearly empty. We were seated at the front edge of the main deck, overlooking a vacant lot with trash, well... more

We went to St John and ventured around the island and stumbled upon the Fish Trap while walking around in Cruz Bay. The quiet area around restaurant is cool and shady. Great place to grab a drink at happy hour too. The bartender was great (Paulie I believe). Bushwackers on special are a steal. We even had the pleasure of... more

My husband and I enjoyed a delicious dinner at The Fish Trap on our recent visit to St. John. We have been coming to St. John for the past 10 years and The Fish Trap was always our one of our favorite restaurants.

Great seafood, especially the specials, with wide variety--from lobster to scallops to wahoo to snapper. Good variety of sauces and flavors to complement the fish, as well. Pretty quiet on the night we were there,but I think it was off-season. Outdoor/patio seating with sounds of beach bar music drifting over to match the sounds of the frogs chirping in a... more

We hit The Fish Trap on one of those days where you are hungry but your not sure exactly what you want. We had been wandering town, shopping and siteseeing and decided we needed something to drink and maybe just an appetizer. We sat down to look at the menu and I was very happy to see shrimp cocktail on... more

Frommers guide book said that this was the best sea food on the island--definitely not! My daughters fries were burnt and the fish looked old. My meal was nondescript and unappetizing. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. more
