When You’re Craving a Natural Taste of St. Lucia, It’s Fruitman to The Rescue!
He rides in with a flair fit for Hollywood.
His trusty steed (of sorts): a jalopy of a Boston Whaler seemingly best left in port. Random flags from all corners of the globe fly proudly above the vessel, a telltale sign heralding our hero’s arrival.
Look out on the sea… Is it a bird? Is it a whale? No, it’s…
Fruitman!
Unmistakable, uncommon, and truly one-of-a-kind, de Fruitman (his real name is Gregory) has been delivering natural island treats to beach-goers and boaters in the Rodney Bay area of northern St. Lucia for the past 20+ years.
I’ve yet to meet him on my all-too-infrequent trips to St. Lucia (gotta’ change that soon), but you can get a sense for the scene he makes in this great post over Yum Dim Sum.
