Canarbo's

We found a great importer of meat, seafood and gourmet cheese and sausage. It's called Canarbo's.  It is located in a what looks like a self storage complex. They supply high end goods for every restaurant on the island.

Canarbo's offers catalog sales from the reception area that looks like a doctors office.  To get the good stuff that is in consumer size,  you have to ask to go to the back room to shop.

A person in a winter parka is a very, very unusual site in Bonaire. Most of the back room of Canarbo's is a freezer kept at -18C. You tell them what you want and they get it from the freezer. The woman and her sons work the back room, and she wears a parka.

Canarbo's was started by the Venezuelan Ambassador to Canada.  His appointment allowed him to make connections around the world. Thus he was able to create import supply chains. As a result we can purchase high end meat and seafood on Bonaire.

We purchased a tenderloin from Brazil, 16-20 shrimp from India, and two lobster tails from who knows where.

Canarbo's meats are delicious. I assume they are corn feed and pumped up with hormones, just like we like them! The red meat that you get on Bonaire is not American style and tastes very funky to us. Brazilian meat is really good. 

Our freezer is full and we will eat well for weeks to come.
