Susan originally for the Vieques Tennis Club but equally
suitable to Vieques Tennis Camp.
Mark Martin, Ric Gifford and Mary Capra organized the
event sponsored by Duffy’s, Hacienda Tamarindo, Weddings in Vieques and the Inn on the Blue Horizon along
with the Vieques Tennis Club.
Members of the club will continue to host sessions
for interested players on Saturday mornings from 9 to
11. All Vieques kids, ages 10 to 16, are invited to take
part; all they need is a desire to learn the game and a
pair of sneakers.
A JUGAR
por: Mary Capra
El 17 de noviembre durante el medio día, se
celebró en el Inn on the Blue Horizon, un campamento de tenis para niños viequenses en honor a la
memoria de Susan Wilson, quien amó a Vieques y al
tenis y estaba muy interesada en alentar a los jóvenes
de la isla para que lograran grandes cosas. A los nueve
novatos se les habló del espíritu dinámico de Susan
Wilson y su lema para jugar cada partido como si fuera
“por todo el dinero del mundo”. Los jóvenes estuvieron
atentos, entusiastas y demostraron cierta aptitud.
Como una grata coincidencia, todos los participantes recibieron una camiseta con un logo diseñado
por Susan originalmente a ser utilizado por el Club de
Tenis de Vieques, pero igualmente adecuado para el
Campamento de Tenis de Vieques.
Mark Martin, Ric Gifford y Mary Capra organizaron el
evento, que fue auspiciado por Duffy’s, Hacienda Tamarino, Weddings in Vieques y el Inn on the Blue Horizon,
junto con el Club de Tenis de Vieques.
Miembros del club continuarán llevando a cabo
sesiones para los interesados los sábados en la
mañana de 9 a 11. Todos los niños de Vieques entre
las edades de 10 a 16 están invitados a formar parte;
todo lo que necesitan es deseo de aprender el juego
y un par de tenis.

La Chiva Bridge / Kiani Lagoon
Boardwalk
On November 17th a half-day tennis camp for
viequense kids was held at the Inn on the Blue
Horizon to honor the memory of Susan Wilson, who
loved Vieques and tennis and was very interested
in encouraging island youth to achieve great things.
The nine novices were informed of Susan’s dynamic
spirit and her motto to play as if every game were
“for all the money in the world.” The kids were attentive, enthusiastic and showed some promise.
As a nice coincidence, all of the participants
received a tee shirt sporting a logo designed by

La Chiva Bridge - is open to the public. Kiani
Lagoon Boardwalk - The YCC program enrollees, with
TICATOVE volunteers and FWS staff participated in
the repair of this boardwalk. Thanks to their effort
and dedication, the area is open to the public. This
boardwalk was partially destroyed by Storm Jeanne.

LIBERACION DE BEBE DE TORTUGA
MARINA / El trabajo en equipo entre
personal de agencias gubernamentales y no
gubernamentales dirigidos a la conservación,
nos permite la bendición de darles una segunda
oportunidad de vida a tortugas marinas bebés
(neonatos) que quedan rezagados en los nidos
(ver video en la página de facebook: Vieques
National Wildlife Refuge).
BABY SEA TURTLE RELEASE
Teamwork between govermental and non
govermental agencies dedicated to conservation,
give a second chance of life to baby sea turtles
(hatchlings) that were left behing in nests (see
video at the facebook page: Vieques National
Wildlife Refuge).
Vieques tiene varias organizaciones que trabajan
afanosamente para beneficio de nuestra comunidad, tales como Alcanzando el Éxito, El Fideicomiso
de Conservación e Historia de Vieques, la Sociedad
Protectora de Animales de Vieques, entre otras.
Ahora, con la creación del Club Rotario de Vieques,
contamos con una organización internacional de
servicio comunitario de gran alcance y soporte
mundial. El nuevo club se une a los 33 ya existentes
en Puerto Rico y a más de 33,000 a nivel mundial todos donando de su tiempo y talento para servir y
fortalecer a sus comunidades y al mundo.
El Club Rotario de Fajardo ha prestado ayuda en
Vieques ayudando al club de Vieques a establecer
sus credenciales con el Distrito 7000 (Puerto Rico).
Los miembros fundadores en Vieques decidieron
centrar sus esfuerzos en apoyar a las iniciativas
comunitarias existentes, especialmente los que se
dedican a ayudar a la juventud de Vieques en su bienestar y desarrollo. Uno de los primeros proyectos
ha sido con la Liga Atlética Policiaca, una iniciativa
sustentada por la Policía, en la cual 70 niños participan en un programa deportivo luego del horario de
clases. En apoyo al Programa y al Agente Benjamín,
los rotarios donaron botellas reusables, hielo y
Gatorade. Cada uno de los atletas tiene su nombre
escrito en una botella, que además de calmar su
sed, les enseña la responsabilidad personal y el
reciclaje, para reducir la acumulación de basura en
la hermosa Isla Nena.
En conjunto con los rotarios internacionales, el
Club ha logrado conseguir, transportar y donar una
nueva mesa de operaciones al hospital de Vieques.
Gracias a este donativo, el modelo actual de 30 años
de edad, fue reemplazado por un equipo moderno
sin costo extra. Es aquí donde el alcance global de
los rotarios internacionales entra en acción; proyectos similares se han llevado a cabo en San Juan y
Haití, mediante la ayuda de capítulos de Puerto Rico.
Originalmente fundado en Chicago en 1905, los
Rotarios Internacionales han crecido hasta llegar
a ser una organización mundial muy eficaz. La
Fundación es auspiciada por Fideicomisos y rotarios
de todo el mundo y administra un gran fondo que
se utiliza para ayudar con proyectos a nivel mundial
que persiguen los objetivos del Club. La Fundación
recientemente financió una de las iniciativas más
importantes de salud en la historia - la erradicación
de la enfermedad del polio. Rotarios de California
están trabajando con rotarios de Puerto Rico en 12
proyectos, la entrega de diccionarios para escuelas,
la creación de una unidad móvil de reciclaje y
ayudando a equipar al Club de Niños y Niñas. Los
THE VIEQUES ROTARY CLUB
Vieques has several hardworking organizations
to benefit our community, Reach for Success, The
Vieques Historical Trust, Vieques Humane Society
and many others. Now, with the establishment of
Club Rotario de Vieques, we have an International
community service organization with global reach
and global support. The newly formed club joins 33
existing clubs in Puerto Rico and more than 33,000
worldwide - all volunteering time and talents to serve
and strengthen their communities and the world.
The Fajardo Rotary Club has provided assistance
in Vieques helping the Vieques Club establish its
credentials with District 7000 (Puerto Rico) and Rotary International. The founding members in Vieques
quickly decided to focus efforts on support for existing community initiatives, especially those focused
on helping the new generation - the youth of Vieques
- in their health and development. One of the first
projects has been with the Police Athletic league,
a Police funded initiative for 70 children involved
in an after-school sports program. Working with
Agent Benjamin, Rotary members donated refillable
drinking bottles (and supporting ice and Gatorade).
Each of the athletes has their name written on a
bottle and, other than quenching thirst, the project
highlights personal responsibility and recycling, to
reduce trash creation on the beautiful Isla Neña!
Working with Rotary International, the Club has
also managed to locate, transport, and donate a
new operating table to the hospital here in Vieques.
By deeding the table to the Municipality the existing 30 year old model was replaced by a modern
functioning piece of equipment at no extra cost. This
is where the global reach of the Rotary International
organization helped; similar projects have been
undertaken in San Juan and Haiti by local Puerto
Rican chapters.
Originally founded in 1905 in Chicago, Rotary
International has since grown to be a very effective
worldwide organization. The Foundation is funded
by Trusts and Rotary members all over the world
and administers a large fund that is used to assist
projects worldwide that pursue the Goals of Rotary.
The Foundation recently financed the single,
biggest, private health initiative in history – the
eradication of Polio disease. In Puerto Rico, Rotarians from California are working with local Rotarians
on 12 projects, delivering dictionaries to schools,
setting up a mobile recycling unit, and equipping a
Boys and Girls Club. In New Zealand members take
visiting members to plant a native tree – creating a
small forest for future generations.
Currently the Club is trying to assist the Judo
Club, La Ecological Parque La Ceiba, Juntos and the
Municipal band to help and support these worthwhile community initiatives.
Club Rotario de Vieques meets weekly on
Tuesdays at 7pm in Esperanza. Please check the
website www.rotaryvieques.com for the meeting
location. Visiting, interested, contributing and new
active members are very welcome. While active
members pay monthly dues to support the Club’s
activities (all club work is on a voluntary basis), the
Vieques club is also seeking associate members to
contribute regularly.

Puerto Rico’s version of eggnog but is
made with coconut milk and coconut
cream. And, of course, rum!
Es la versión en Puerto Rico del
ponche de huevo, pero se le añade
leche y crema de coco. Y, por
supuesto, ron.
INGREDIENTES
2 cups of coconut milk (1 dry large
coconut or 2 medium ones grated
and 1 ½ cup of hot water
1 ½ cup of white rum
1 cup of condensed milk
2 cans of evaporated milk
¼ teaspoon of ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Preparation
Grate the coconut, add 1 ½ cup of
hot water, and squeeze to obtain 1
cup of milk.
Pour the milk in the electric blender,
add sugar and ground cinnamon.
Beat on high speed for 1 minute.
Add the rum and beat for 2 more
minutes on high speed. In doing so,
coconut cream remains homogenous and does not solidify in the
fridge.
You do not need to take it out of
the refrigerator in advance at the
serving time. You just need to shake
the bottle.
Pour in a bottle and keep in the
refrigerator.
If you prefer it with more rum, add
2 cups instead of 1 ½. If you use
coconut milk from a can, use less
milk.
INGREDIENTES
2 tazas de leche de coco espesa,
(necesita 1 coco seco bien grande ó 2
medianos rallados y 1 1/2 taza de agua
caliente para obtenerla)
1 1/2 taza de ron blanco
1 taza de leche condensada
2 latas de leche evaporada
1/4 cucharadita de canela en polvo
1 cd. de extracto de vainilla

leche.
Eche la leche en la licuadora eléctrica,
añada el azúcar y la canela en polvo.
Bata a velocidad alta por 1 minuto.
Agregue el ron y bata por 2 minutos
más a velocidad alta.
Al hacerlo así, la crema de coco se
mantiene homogénea y no se solidifica
en la nevera. No hay que sacarlo de la
nevera con anticipación al momento
de servirlo. Sólo tiene que menear la
botella.
Embotelle y guarde en la nevera.
Si le gusta más fuerte en ron, échele
2 tazas en lugar de 1 1/2. Si usa leche
de coco enlatada, use menos leche
condensada

Experimento Verde
The Great Green
Experiment 2013
bypor: Mark Martin
2012 was a greener year for V ieques .
I
t was awesome to see more recycling, fantastic to hear they are composting in
some schools, and uplifting to see people using reusable bags and absolutely
superfunky to see cool people bring their own cup to the bars. (Plastic cup using
humans are simply not as cool)
The seed of the Great Green Experiment was planted in the Vieques Conservation
& Historical Trust by some hip girls like Emily, Brittany, Abby, Alicia and Melissa and
two weird guys named Mark and Dan. In partnership with Vieques Events we bring
you simple, straightforward ways to make eco friendly choices to protect and sustain
our island and our natural magic. The seed has grown from an idea to an ongoing
campaign and powerful shift in awareness throughout the island to greener behavior.
What an amazing island experience for all of us to participate in this green experiement and watch how it naturally grows into a way of life for the kids who are exposed
to these ideas at an early age. The key elements are: people, balance, positive
choices and a little bit of comedy.
In 2012 we concentrated on helping people make green choices to save the
environment around them and the money in their pocket. In 2013 The Great Green
Experiment will grow even bigger and stronger as we nurture it throughout the year.
Our goal is to make Vieques a cool, green tourism destination, one with a unique
culture and our unique ecotourism experiment. Keep it real and really green. The residents, and by that we mean, the humans, birds, turtles, whales and all the other local
Viequense creatures, will benefit from the economic development if the right choices
are made for the island. Keep reading our ‘top tens’ and we’ll plant some ideas in your
head. But for now and in the spirit of the happy holidays we present to you our top ten
to end the year.

ra impresionante ver más reciclaje, fantástico escuchar que están haciendo

La semilla del Gran Experimento Verde fue plantada en el Fideicomiso de Conservación e Historia de Vieques por algunas chicas modernas como Emily, Brittany, Abby,
Alicia y Melissa y dos chicos raros llamados Mark y Dan. En unión al Vieques Events,
le traemos maneras simples y sencillas de llevar a cabo opciones eco amigables para
proteger y mantener la magia natural de nuestra isla. La semilla ha pasado de ser de
una idea a una campaña permanente y un poderoso cambio en la conciencia de toda
la isla por un comportamiento más verde. Que maravillosa experiencia para todos
nosotros el poder participar en este experiemento verde y ver cómo crece de forma
natural en un estilo de vida para los niños relacionados con estas ideas a temprana
edad. Los elementos claves son: personas, balance, opciones positivas y una chispa
de buen humor.
En el año 2012 nos concentramos en ayudar a las personas a tomar decisiones
verdes para salvar el medio ambiente que les rodea y el dinero en su bolsillo. En el
2013, El Gran Experimento Verde crecerá más grande y más fuerte a medida que
lo fomentemos durante todo el año. Nuestra meta es hacer a Vieques un destino
turístico verde y agradable, con una cultura y un experimento ecoturístico exclusivos.
Mantenerla autentica y realmente verde. Los residentes, y con ésto queremos decir,
los seres humanos, aves, tortugas, ballenas y y todas las otras criaturas residentes
de Vieques, se beneficiarán del desarrollo económico si toman las decisiones correctas para la isla. Sigua leyendo nuestro listado a continuacion y le vamos a sembrar
algunas ideas en su cabeza. Por el momento, y con el espíritu de las navidades, les
presentamos el listado de las primeras diez para culminar el año.

Helping the
Humane Society
Volunteering at the Humane Society is a most
rewarding way to spend some of your time. It
can also be challenging to fit the commitment
of time into your schedule. And, to be honest, while it can seem romantic to help feed
and clean the shelter animals, after a session
or two surrounded by mountains of dog poop,
it can become tedious. This is why our kennel
staff are absolutely the most remarkable
people, but that is a story for next time.
So, what can you do that will help the shelter tremendously and enable you to pick your
time to volunteer? You can be a short term
foster parent and/or an animal transporter.
Most of the shelter adoptions are to
stateside locations, whether to individual
homes or partner rescue groups. This means
that the animals (mostly dogs) need a way
to get there. The first step in the process is
to move the dogs out of the shelter for about
two weeks or so prior to their flight. This
gives them time to become used to being
away from the shelter and to socialize. The
dogs can also be kept flea and tick free much
easier if they are not surrounded by seventy
dogs and a couple of horses. Perhaps the
most important aspect of this job is observing the dog in your home. You may be able to
pick up on a behavioral issue or health issue
that was not apparent while the animal was
in the shelter.
The second step is to get them to San Juan
International. This entails picking the dogs
and kennels up at the shelter, loading them
onto the ferry, loading them onto the publico,
loading them into the cargo warehouse or airline check in, completing all the documents
necessary. This is a job only for the calm,
cool and collected. On just about every trip
something goes a bit awry. The ferry is late
or a dog chews his water cup and you need
two. You must have the ability to think on
your feet and solve any problem that comes
up. If you don’t, you end up coming home
with an animal that didn’t get its chance at a
forever home. The bonus for the transporters
is that on many occasions there is enough
time for a quick stop at Costco before heading back to the ferry.
The old adage of many hands makes light
work is true here. The more foster parents
and transporters we have, the more animals
we can move. Please contact Humane
Society President Janie Chadwick at 787309-3691 for more information. Thanks for
helping.
perros que llegan al corazón

PERROS DE TERAPIA
DE VIEQUES
Felicitamos a los equipos de perro/dueño de
Vieques quienes recientemente fueron evaluados
y certificados por “Therapy Dogs Incorporated”
(organización reconocida a nivel mundial). Ellos
son: Gladys Alemán/ScallyWag, Cristobalina
Velásquez/Anon, Nancy Gilbert/Ruby, y River
Karmen/Canela.
Los perros de terapias los podemos encontrar
de todos los tamaños y razas. La característica
más importante de un perro de terapia es su temperamento. Un buen perro de terapia debe ser amigable,
paciente, confiable, gentil y de buen comportamiento,
además de que debe disfrutar del contacto humano.
Un perro de terapia es entrenado para proveer afecto
y consuelo y puede ser invitado legalmente a visitar
hospitales, asilos de ancianos, escuelas, hospicios y otras
instituciones donde sus servicios sean necesitados.
La historia de los perros de terapia data de la Segunda
Guerra Mundial, donde el cabo William Wynne adoptó a un
cachorro abandonado en el campo de batalla en la isla de
Nueva Guinea. Smokey, este sabio y agradecido cachorro
comenzó a prestar sus servicios cuando el cabo Wynne
fue hospitalizado por fiebre selvática. Smokey inmediatamente fue un éxito entre los demás soldados heridos. El
Dr. Mayo (de la famosa clinica Mayo) fue el comandante
que permitió que Smokey hiciera rondas y que durmiera
con el cabo Wynne en su cama de hopital. El trabajo de
Smokey como perro de terapia continuó por 12 años,
durante y luego de la Segunda Guerra Mundial.
Los efectos terapéuticos que los animales tienen en
las personas actualmente son completamente reconocidos y documentados. Los perros de terapia pueden
aliviar la tensión, bajar la presión arterial y elevar el
espíritu. En años recientes, los perros de terapia han
sido utilizados para ayudar a los niños con problemas
del habla y desórdenes emocionales.
Los Perros de Terapia de Vieques y sus dueños están
listos para ofrecer sus servicios voluntarios. Si le interesa
saber más sobre este valioso programa, necesita que
le hagamos una visita o piensa que tiene un perro que
puede convertirse en uno de terapia y quiere unirse a
nosotros, llame a River al 787 556 9030 o escríbanos a
[email protected].

VIEQUES THERAPY DOGS
Congratulations to the dog/human teams on Vieques
who have recently been evaluated and certified by
Therapy Dogs Incorporated (an internationally recognized
organization). They are as follows: Gladys Aleman and
ScallyWag, Cristobolina Velasquez and Anon, Nancy
Gilbert and Ruby, River Karmen and Canela
Therapy dogs come in all sizes and breeds. The
most important characteristic of a therapy dog is her
temperament. A good therapy dog must be friendly,
patient, confident, gentle and well behaved and must
enjoy human contact.
A therapy dog is trained to provide affection and
comfort and upon invitation may legally visit hospitals,
nursing homes, schools, hospices and other institutions
where their services are desired.
The history of therapy dogs dates back to WW II where
Corporal William Wynne came into possession of a
young pup abandoned on the battlefield on the island of
New Guinea. Smokey, this wise and grateful pup, began
therapy service when Corporal Wynne was hospitalized for
jungle fever. Smokey immediately became a hit with the
other wounded soldiers. Dr. Charles Mayo (of the famed
Mayo Clinic) was the commanding officer who allowed
Smokey to go on rounds and also permitted her to sleep
with Wynne in his hospital bed. Smokey’s work as a therapy
dog continued for 12 years during and after WW11.
The therapeutic effects that animals have on people
is now fully recognized and documented. Therapy dogs
can relieve stress, lower blood pressure and raise spirits. In recent years therapy dogs have been enlisted to
help children overcome speech and emotional disorders.
Vieques Therapy Dogs and their human companions are now ready to volunteer their services. If you
are interested in finding out more about this valuable
program, want to request a visit from us or think you
may have a potential therapy dog and would like to join,
please call River at 787 556 9030 or email [email protected]

Alcanzando el Exito /// reach for success
medida que se acerca el fin del año 2012,
Alcanzando el Éxito está agradecido y lleno de
esperanza por muchas cosas:
En agosto, el W auspició un evento llamado “Taste
of the Island” el cual es un evento reconocido internacionalmente. Chefs y patrocinadores locales e internacionales se superaron unos a los otros en la creación
de extraordinarios platos y bebidas, mientras que las
festividades y la subasta silente ofrecieron diversión
y gratos recuerdos para todos. Lo recaudado fue
destinado al fondo de becas de Alcanzando el Éxito, el
cual ha ayudado a 70 estudiantes a continuar con su
educación post secundaria a través de Puerto Rico.
Luego de ver un video en la televisión acerca
de Alcanzando el Éxito, Walmart/Colgate Palmolive
contactaron a RFS e invitaron a 43 estudiantes participar de un taller ofrecido en el Hotel W. Dentistas
de Caguas hablaron a los estudiantes acerca de sus
profesiones, y le practicaron exámenes bucales.
Cada estudiante recibió una tarjeta de regalo de
Walmart, así como disfrutaron de un excelente
desayuno y almuerzo, y le otorgaron un donativo a
RFS de $10,000.
El Departamento de la Familia en Vieques,
también ofreció una serie de quince diferentes
talleres relacionados al liderato, con temas como
responsabilidad, valores, autoestima, no violencia,
“bullying”(lo abuso escolar) y comunicación. Luego
de ser completados, treinta y cinco miembros de
RFS viajaron al Centro de Convenciones de San Juan
para recibir su certificado de mérito, donde también
disfrutaron de un excelente almuerzo.
Barry Nelson, veterano voluntario de RFS y
Sicólogo Educativo retirado de Vermont continuará
trabajando con los estudiantes durante este año,
enfocándose en el tema de la responsabilidad.
Temas tales como llegar a tiempo, técnicas de
entrevistas y conciencia social serán cubiertos en
talleres que serán ofrecidos por Jorge Palomares,
Director de Recursos Humanos del Hotel W. Hablar
inglés es otro requisito para estudiantes que desean
cursar estudios universitarios. Nancy Gilbert será
uno de los voluntarios que ha ofrecido sus servicios
voluntarios a RFS.
A medida que RFS continúa aumentando su
membresía, se necesitan más voluntarios y donativos. Favor de apoyar a este grupo dedicado de
estudiantes y voluntarios que sabe que el futuro de
Vieques depende de ellos.
Gracias a todos los que de una forma u otra han
apoyado y han creído en RFS. Realmente ha hecho
una gran diferencia. Para más información o hacer
un donativo, favor de visitar el sitio web Reachforsucces.org, o comunicarse con Carmen Portela al
787-243-1352. Les deseamos unas felices pascuas
y un año nuevo lleno de paz.
el
Exito
A
s 2012 draws to a close, Reach for Success is
both grateful and hopeful for many things:
In August, the W hosted a now internationally known event called Taste of the Island. Chefs
and sponsors from far and near outdid each other in
creating fantastic food and drinks, while the festivities and silent auction offered fun and memories
for all. Proceeds were given to the scholarship fund
of Reach for Success, which has enabled a total of
70 students to continue their education in schools
throughout Puerto Rico.
After seeing a video about Reach for Success on
television, Walmart/Colgate Palmolive contacted RFS
and invited 43 students to attend a workshop which
was given at the W Hotel. Dentists from the Caguas
talked to the students about their careers, and
checked their teeth. Each student received a Walmart
gift card, as well as breakfast and lunch, and RFS was
awarded a $10,000 grant.
The Departmento de la Famila in Vieques, also
offered a series of fifteen different workshops
related to leadership including subjects such as
responsibility, values, self-esteem, non-violence,
bullying and communication. Upon completion, thirty
five members of RFS went to San Juan to receive
Certificate Awards in the Convention Center, where
they were served lunch.
Barry Nelson, a veteran volunteer of RFS and a
retired Educational Psychologist from Vermont will
be continuing his work with students this year focusing on the theme of responsibility. Being on time,
interviewing techniques and social awareness will be
covered in workshops offered by Jorge Palomares,
Director of Human Resources for the W Hotel.
Competence in English is another requirement for
students who are pursing higher education or future
career paths. Nancy Gilbert will be one of several
volunteers who had offered her services to Reach for
Success.
As Reach for Success continues to gain new
members, so does the need for more volunteers and
donations grow. Please consider supporting this vital
group of dedicated students and volunteers who recognize that the future of Vieques depends on them.
Thanks to all of you who have shown your support
and confidence in RFS. It has really made a difference! For more information or to make a contribution, please visit the web site at Reachforsucces.org,
or contact Carmen Portela at 787-243-1352 .
Best Wishes for a Healthy and Happy Holiday
Season and a Peaceful New Year.

Ayudando a la
Sociead Protectora
de Animales
Hacer labor voluntaria en la Sociedad Protectora de
Animales es una de las formas más gratificantes de
emplear algo de su tiempo. También puede ser un
reto tratar de ajustar el tiempo comprometido a su
itinerario. Y, para ser honestos, si bien puede parecer
romántico el ayudar a alimentar y limpiar a los
animales del refugio, después de una o dos sesiones
rodeado de montañas de caca de perro, puede llegar a
ser tedioso. Por ello, nuestro personal de la Sociead es
uno de los más notables, pero eso es una historia que
dejaremos para la próxima vez.
Así, ¿qué puedes hacer para ayudar al refugio y
te permita escoger el tiempo que desees para ser
voluntario? Puede ser a corto plazo padre/madre de
crianza y/o un(a) transportador(a) de animales.
La mayoría de las adopciones del refugio son a
lugares en Estados Unidos, ya sea para hogares individuales o grupos de socios de rescate. Esto significa
que los animales (en su mayoría perros) necesitan
llegar al lugar. El primer paso en el proceso es sacar a
los perros del refugio dos semanas antes de su viaje.
Esto les da tiempo suficiente para acostumbrarse a
estar lejos del refugio y poder socializar. Los perros
también pueden mantenerse libre de pulgas y garrapatas mucho más fácil si no están rodeados por
setenta perros y un par de caballos. Tal vez el aspecto
más importante de este trabajo es poder observar
al perro en su casa. De esta forma, podemos ser
capaces de detectar un problema de comportamiento
o de salud que no era evidente mientras el animal
estaba en el refugio.
El segundo paso es llevarlos al Aeropuerto Internacional de San Juan. Esto implica recoger los perros y
perreras en el refugio, cargarlos en el ferry, cargarlos
en el carro público, llevarlos al almacén de carga o
verificarlo en el mostrador de la aerolínea, además
de completar todos los documentos necesarios.
Esto es un trabajo que requiere personas pacientes
y calmadas. En casi todos los viajes pueden ocurrir
algunos inconvenientes. Por ejemplo, el ferry se
retrasa o el perro mordió su embase de agua y son
necesarios dos embases. Se debe tener la habilidad
de pensar rápidamente y resolver cualquier problema
que se presente. Si la persona no tiene la habilidad,
termina regresando a casa con un animal que no tuvo
la oportunidad de tener un hogar permanente. El bono
para los que transportan a los animales es que en
muchas ocasiones tienen suficiente tiempo para ir a
Costco antes de regresar en el ferry.
El viejo dicho de que muchas manos hacen el
trabajo ligero es muy cierto en este caso. Mientras
más padres adoptivos y transportadores tenemos,
más cantidad de animales podemos mover. Favor de
contactar al Presidente de la Sociedad Protectora de
Animales, Janie Chadwich al 787-309-3691 para más
información. Gracias por su ayuda.

Historia en su cocina –
Un Cuento Salado
By Bruce & John
History In Your KitchenA Salty Tale
¿Qué diría si le dijéramos que a los puertorriqueños les gusta comer comida de
vikingos? ¿Y si le dijéramos que el pescado
en los libros de receta de muchas cocinas
viequenses es un ingrediente que une a Isabel Segunda
con Terranova y con las antiguas cortes de Lisboa,
Madrid y Roma? Y más aún, ¿si tuviéramos que decirle
que un alimento humilde y con frecuencia pasado por
alto, descansando tranquilamente en la carnicería de
la tienda de Morales, no sólo ha desempeñado un papel
protagónico en la suerte de las grandes naciones, sino
que también en uno de los capítulos más oscuros de
la humanidad? ¿Hemos captado su atención? Nos lo
imaginábamos.
Damas y caballeros, le presentamos al bacalao.
¿Bacalao? ¿En serio? ¿Estamos hablando de ese
pedazo feo y amarillento de pescado salado, ese que
es duro como un ladrillo? De echo, sí. Quédese con
nosotros y le diremos la verdad de todo ésto.
El bacalao, para los que no lo saben, es simplemente
un pescado que ha sido preservado mediante el proceso de salarlo y secarlo. Este pescado era tradicionalmente el pescado de preferencia, pero cualquier
pescado blanco sin grasa sirve. De echo, debido a que
este pescado fue sobre pescado durante el siglo 20,
no hay muchos de ellos actualmente y el bacalao que
compramos en la tienda es ahora más accesible (por lo
tanto más barato) que el abadejo.
Aparentemente, los vikingos fueron los primeros
europeos, hace 1200 años atrás, que utilizaron las
maravillosas propiedades del pescado seco, el cual
curaban exponiéndolo al sol y al viento. Los temibles
h
32
marineros dependían de su notable capacidad para
que permaneciera conservado por largos períodos de
tiempo, en su calidad de gran alimento; en su estado
de deshidratación almacena alrededor del 80% de su
contenido de proteínas, y eso era exactamente lo que
necesitaban esos hombres mientras navegaban en alta
mar por varios meses.
600 años atrás los marineros españoles y portugueses pescaban en grandes cantidades en los bancos de
peces de Nueva Inglaterra y las costas de Canadá. No
llevaban carga cuando dejaban sus puertos, por lo cual
sus barcos necesitaban algo para poder usarlo como
lastre. También necesitaban una forma de preservar
su pesca durante el largo viaje a casa. Un barco lleno
de sal era la ingeniosa solución. Una vez llegaban a
su hogar, el pescado preservado en sal era duradero
y económico, lo cual se expandió por las naciones
mediterráneas de Europa, haciendo ricos a muchos
comerciantes. La palabra bacalao (o Bacalhau en portugués, o Baccalà en italiano) se convirtió para siempre
en parte de nuestro idioma.
La sorprendente longevidad y economía del bacalao,
por desgracia nos recuerda que desempeñó un papel en
uno de los esfuerzos más vergonzosos de la humanidad, la esclavitud y el transporte forzoso de millones
de africanos a las colonias de las Américas y el Caribe.
Naturalmente, pudo haber sido usado (en porciones
limitadas) para mantener a los esclavos vivos en las
miserables condiciones en que eran transportados al
nuevo mundo. Al mismo tiempo, era transportado de
Europa para ser vendido y una vez llegaba a su destino,
era comprado por los dueños de la plantación, quienes
les proveerían a sus esclavos obreros una ración
semanal.
Es difícil determinar con precisión cuándo el bacalao
llegó a Puerto Rico. Uno de los platos favoritos de la isla
es el Bacalao Guisado – compuesto principalmente de
ingredientes traídos a la isla desde España, sugiriendo
que el pescado salado puede haber sido introducido
por los españoles cuando se instalaron en la isla. Sin
embargo, el otro plato favorito, los bacalaítos fritos
o buñuelos de bacalao, tiene una fuerte influencia
africana. La primera clave es el uso de la fritura, forma
de cocinar que llegó al Caribe a través de los esclavos
africanos, pero otra clave lo es la combinación del pescado directamente dentro de la mezcla. Esta técnica
de añadir una pequeña cantidad de tan valiosa proteína
al abundante masa fue utilizada por los esclavos para
estirar sus raciones.
Por supuesto, el tratar de determinar sus orígenes
en Puerto Rico se convierte pronto en una discusión tan
irrelevante como la de “la gallina o el huevo”. Es obvio
que el bacalao es tan versátil y delicioso que no importa
cuándo o de dónde vino, ha encontrado su lugar en
cada esquina de la vibrante cocina de Puerto Rico.
What would you say if we told you that
Puerto Ricans like to eat Viking food? And
what if we were to suggest to you that lurking in the recipe books of most Viequense
kitchens is an ingredient that links Isabel Segunda to
far away Newfoundland and to the ancient royal courts
of Lisbon, Madrid, and Rome? And furthermore, what if
we were to say that a humble & often overlooked food
h
Bruce and John have been vacationing annually in Vieques for close to 20 years. While feeding
their island addiction they have also learned to
enjoyably feed themselves using anything and
everything offered by the island’s multiple food
purveyors. They write about Vieques (in season)
at their blog Bobo Feed (bobofeed.blogspot.ca)
Bacalao Guisado a la Isla Niña de Bruce y John
Todos los ingredientes, incluyendo el vino, son
fáciles de conseguir en los supermercados de
Vieques. Cada receta sirve de 2-4 personas, dependiendo de su apetito. Si necesita alimentar a más
personas, haga los ajustes necesarios.
Preparación Básica del Bacalao:
Sumerja el bacalao en bastante agua por lo
menos por 18 horas, cambiando el agua tres
veces al día. Mantenga el bacalao cubierto en la
nevera, durante el proceso de remojarlo. Escurra
y manténgalo desalado hasta que este listo para
cocinarlo.
En una olla lo suficientemente grande para
poder colocar el pescado, cubra el pescado con
leche y hiérvalo a fuego lento por 5 minutos (puede
ser agua). Si el bacalao no tiene el mismo espesor,
corte los extremos finos y los añade a la mitad del
tiempo. Verifique si está cocido a través del punto
más grueso, separándolo para ver si la carne expuesta está cocida y no fibrosa. Si está listo, remueva
y enfríe para luego usarlo. (Es mejor cocer en vez
de sobre-cocer el pescado porque se pone duro).
resting quietly in the cold room at your Morales store
has not only played a starring role in the fortunes of
great nations, but also in one of the darkest chapters of
humankind? Do we have your attention? Thought so!
Ladies and Gentlemen, may we present...bacalao!
Bacalao, for the uninitiated, is simply fish that has
been preserved by salting and drying. Cod was traditionally the fish of choice, but any non-oily white fish is
suitable. In fact, because cod was so heavily overfished
in the 20th century there isn’t a lot of it left and the
bacalao on our store shelves now is more likely to be a
plentiful (therefore cheaper) fish called pollock.
Vikings were apparently the first Europeans, as far
back as 1200 years ago, to have utilized the amazing
nutritional properties of dried fish which they cured by
exposing it to sun and wind. The fearsome mariners
relied on its remarkable ability to remain preserved for
very long periods of time, and on its super food status;
in its dehydrated state it packs an incredible near-80%
protein content, and that’s exactly what those brawny
oarsmen needed while roaming the high seas for
months at a time.
600 years later Spanish and Portuguese sailors were
heavily fishing the cod banks off the New England and
Atlantic Canada coasts. They carried no cargo as they
left their home ports, so their ships required something
to act as ballast. They also needed a way to preserve
their catch for the long journey home. A ship filled with
salt was the ingenious solution. Once back home, the
salt-preserved cod was so long lasting and inexpensive
that it swept through Europe’s Mediterranean nations,
leaving many a rich merchant in its wake. The word bacalao (or Bacalhau in Portuguese, or Baccalà in Italian)
became forever embedded in our languages.
Bacalao’s amazing longevity and economy would
unfortunately also ensure that it played a role in one of
mankind’s most shameful endeavours, the enslavement and forcible transport of millions of Africans to
colonies in the Americas and the Caribbean. Naturally
it would have been used (in very limited portions) to
keep the human cargo alive on the miserable crossings
to the new world. At the same time it was also shipped
from Europe as a saleable commodity and once landed
would be purchased by plantation owners who would
provide a weekly ration to their slave labor.
It’s difficult to determine accurately when bacalao
would have taken hold here in Puerto Rico. One of the
island’s favourite bacalao dishes- Bacalao Guisado or
Stewed Bacalao- is composed mainly of ingredients
that were likely brought to the island from Spain, suggesting salt cod may have first made inroads at the
time of original Spanish settlement. However another
island favourite, Bacalaitos Fritos or salt cod fritters,
has strong signs of African influence. The first clue is in
the use of deep frying, a means of cooking that actually
came to the Caribbean via African slaves, but another
hint is in the mixing of the fish directly into the batter.
This technique of adding a small quantity of valuable
protein to an abundant starch was used by slaves to
stretch their rations.
Of course, trying to determine its Puerto Rican
origins soon becomes an irrelevant “chicken or egg”
discussion. It’s obvious that bacalao is so versatile
and so delicious that no matter when or where it came
from it has managed to find its way into every corner of
Puerto Rico’s vibrant cuisine!
Bruce & John’s Bacalao Guisado a la Isla Niña
All ingredients including the wine are easily
available at supermarkets on Vieques. Each recipe
serves 2- 4, depending on your appetite. If you
need to feed more, scale up accordingly!
Basic Preparation of Bacalao:
Soak the bacalao in ample water for at least
18 hours, changing the water three times per
day. Keep the bacalao covered, in the fridge,
throughout the soaking process. Drain and hold
the desalinated fish till you’re ready to cook it.
In a saucepan large enough to hold the cod in
a single layer, cover the fish with milk and poach
very gently for about 5 minutes (water is OK,
too). If the bacalao is of uneven thickness trim
off the thin ends and add them about half way
through the poaching process. Test for done-ness
by flaking the fish at the thickest point- it should
separate easily and the exposed flesh should
look slightly under cooked and not stringy. If
ready, remove and cool for use later. (It’s better to
undercook rather than overcook the fish or it will
become tough!)
Ingredients for El Guiso:
6- 8 oz poached salt cod (see above), broken
into small chunks
1/2 medium onion
1 cubanelle (mild) pepper
1 medium carrot
1 clove of garlic, minced
1 small can pimentos (two whole sweet red
peppers in brine)
1 28 oz can of stewed tomatoes
4- 6 green olives, drained, pitted and halved
1 1/2 Tbsp capers, drained
1 tsp ground cumin (or to taste)
olive oil
chopped cilantro or recao for garnish
Preparation:
1. Chop the onion, carrot and pepper coarsely
into 1/2” dice.
2. Over medium heat, warm about 2 Tbsp of
olive oil in a wide sauté pan. Make a coarse sofrito
by adding the onion, carrot, and pepper, reducing
the heat to medium low, and cooking gently till
the carrots have softened but are not completely
cooked through.
3. Cut the pimentos into 1/2” chunks and add
to the sofrito.
4. Add tomatoes, cumin and garlic and stir
to incorporate, then simmer gently for about 10
minutes.
5. Gently fold in the cod, olives, and capers and
gently heat the stew for another 6- 8 minutes,
till the fish has warmed through but has not
overcooked.
6. Serve immediately. We serve bacalao
guisado with cooked rice, and we like to enjoy a
nice Spanish Tempranillo with it.
Ingredientes para El Guisado:
6- 8 oz filetes de bacalao hervidos (ver arriba),
cortados en pequeños trozos
1/2 cebolla mediana
1 pimiento
1 zanahoria mediana
1 diente de ajo, machacado
1 lata pequeña de pimientos morrones
1 lata (28 oz) de tomates guisados
4- 6 aceitunas verdes, escurridas, sin pepita y
cortadas a la mitad
1 1/2 cucharada de alcaparradas escurridas
1 cucharada de comino molido (o a gusto)
Aceite de oliva
Cilantro o recao machacado
Preparación:
1. Corte la cebolla, zanahoria y pimiento en
trozos de ½”.
2. A fuego mediano, caliente 2 cucharadas de
aceite de oliva en una sartén grande. Haga un sofrito añadiendo la cebolla, zanahoria, y pimiento, baje
el fuego de mediano a lento, y cocine hasta que las
zanahorias estén tiernas, pero no sobre cocidas.
3. Corte los pimientos morrones en trozos de ½”
y añádalos al sofrito.
4. Añada los tomates, el comino, ajo y mezcle
para incorporarlos, luego cocine a fuego lento por
10 minutos.
5. Añada el bacalao, las aceitunas y alcaparras
y cocine a fuego lento por otros 6-8 minutos, hasta
que el pescado esté caliente, pero no sobre cocido.
6. Sirva inmediatamente. Servimos el bacalao
guisado con arroz cocido, y nos gusta disfrutarlo
con un buen Tempranillo español.

Día de Reyes
Three Kings Day
El Día de Reyes se celebra el 6 de enero, día en
que los tres reyes magos llegaron para ver a
Jesús por primera vez. El 5 de enero, los niños
llenan una cajita con pasto para los caballos de
los Reyes. Para mostrar su gratitud, los reyes
dejan regalos a los niños en la cajita. Si tienes
suerte, podrías ver a los Tres Reyes Magos
montando sus caballos en Vieques durante el
día de Reyes.
We celebrate Three Kings day on January 6th,
the day the three kings arrived to see Jesús for
the first time. On January 5th, children fill a
box with grass for the kings’ horses. In order
to show their appreciation, the kings leave the
children gifts in the box. If you are lucky, you
might see the three kings riding their horses
around Vieques on Three Kings Day!

Pescadores de Vieques

Si José, el bromista,
tío de Guelymar, llega
de pescar con menos de
60lbs. de carrucho, dice
que el día estuvo flojo,
según dice Guelymar.

Durante la época de Navidad, es costumbre
llevar música a las casas de las amistades.
Se cantan canciones típicas de Navidad con la
música de cuatro, maracas, güiro, palitos. Las
amistades casi siempre obsequian, en señal de
aprecio a los músicos, con comida y bebidas.
During the Christmas season, it is common to
bring music to the houses of your friends,
singing local Christmas songs, paired with the
music of the “cuatro,“ maracas, gourd, and
sticks. The friends often provide food and
drinks to give thanks to the musicians.
......................................................................
Georgie, quien es también uno de los capitanes
del ferry, antes fue pescador. Una vez eres pescador, siempre serás pescador, ya que ésto es lo
que hace en sus días libres.
Georgie, who is also one of our ferry boat captains was a fisherman first. Once a fisherman,
always a fisherman because this is what he
does on his days off.
Nochebuena/ Christmas Eve
La Nochebuena es la víspera de la Navidad (24
de diciembre). En Puerto Rico, se celebra la
gran fiesta navideña el 24 de diciembre. Familiares y amigos se reúnen para celebrar y compartir comidas tradicionales tales como lechón
asado y pasteles. Durante el Día de Navidad, la
gente descansa de la Nochebuena.
“Nochebuena” or Christmas Eve is when the
big holiday celebration takes place in Puerto
Rico on December 24th. Family and friends
come together for a party and traditional
foods, such as roast pork and pasteles. On
Christmas Day, people rest from Nochebuena.

Tomas Mulero cleans and fillets the fish with experienced precision
and speed. He also performs so many other necessary jobs to keep
the market humming along. The day that I was there he went running off to buy a sandwich for the owner;s son who was crying that
he was hungry... yelling over his shoulder “Mayo or butter??” Seems
like he’s part of the family.
Tomás Mulero limpia y filetea el pescado con experta precisión y
velocidad. También realiza otras labores necesarias en la pescadería.
El día que estuve ahí, el corrió a comprar un “sandwich” al hijo de los
dueños que estaba llorando porque tenía hambre...gritando sobre sus
hombros ¿mayonesa o mantequilla? Parece ser que él es parte de la
familia.
C
omienzan su día a las 5am. La batalla del calor, el sol deslumbrante, los tiburones, las barracudas y la presión del mar en sus
cuerpos, ocurre a medida que buscan su pesca en el fondo del
mar. Trabajan cada día que el clima se lo permite para traer las
delicias del mar y venderlas a los comercios, restaurantes y residentes. Su
día comienza mucho antes de que la pescadería esté abierta, pero cuando
sus puertas abren a las 9:30, la actividad es constante y la energía fluye hasta
que cierran a las 2 o 3. Eric Torres y Guelymar Pérez se hicieron cargo de
la pescadería hace tres años, luego de comenzar su negocio fuera de su casa
con un congelador y 1,000 libras de carrucho para vender. En ocasiones,
no pueden satisfacer la demanda de pescado fresco de la isla. Siempre
que queda algo al final de la semana, se vende al restaurante El Mako en
Naguabo, PR, para que no quede nada que haya estado congelado por más
de una semana. Me presenté en la Pescadaría a las 10 y de 13 a 15 pescadores que pescan diariamente para su sustento iban y venían. Los turistas
y los locales hacían sus órdenes de pescado, langosta y carrucho. Mientras
Eric rebana un pez capitan congelado en la sierra, Tomas está fileteando
un mero de 2lbs. para una joven pareja y su hijo de 2 años de Michigan.
Guellymar está haciendo el recuento de los drones de la langosta traídos por
Georgie, uno de los capitanes de ferry, que es también uno de los mejores
pescadores de langosta en la isla. Hoy trajo 98lbs. Un día normal para
Georgie, dice Guelymar. Hay alguien que practica pesca deportiva desde el
muelle, tratando de pescar los 5 o 6 sábalos que hacen su aparición diaria
en el desayuno, a medida que Tomás les arroja los restos de un pez que está
fileteando. Se trata de capturar y liberar, pero el sábalo pesa alrededor de
12 y mide 3-4 pies de largo y libró una tremenda batalla. Sergio “Papo”
y José, tío de Guelymar, colocan en el muelle cubos de carrucho y hacen
bromas sobre el tiburón de grandes dientes. Hacen constantes bromas y
estoy sorprendida por el buen humor de todo el mundo después de un día
muy difícil de trabajo y el grave efecto que tiene en sus cuerpos el bucear a
veces hasta 70 - 90 pies de profundidad. Sólo puedo pensar que es el sol, el
mar, el aire puro y el verdadero trabajo lo que beneficia a Vieques de tantas
maneras y que mantiene a estos pescadores con una sonrisa constante en sus
rostros quemados por el sol. Gracias chicos. Manténgase en sintonía para la
segunda parte de este artículo en la edición de enero del Vieques Events.

hey start their day at 5 am. They battle the heat, the glaring sun,
sharks, barracuda and the pressure of the sea on their bodies as
they hunt for their catch on the sea floor. They work everday
weather permits to bring the provisions of the sea to land to
sell to the market, restaurants and locals. Their day starts long before the
pescadaria or fish market is even open but when their doors open at 9:30,
the activity is constant and the energy flowing until they close at 2 or 3.
Eric Torres and Guelymar Perez took over at the market three years ago
after starting their business out of their house with one freezer and 1,000
lbs of conch to sell. Now they sometimes can’t keep their freezers full
enough to meet the demand for fresh fish on the island. Whenever there is
something left at the end of the week they sell to the restaurant El Mako
in Naguabo, PR so that nothing is ever frozen for more than one week. I
showed up at the Pescadaria at 10 am and 13-15 fisherman who fish daily
for their livelihood were coming and going. Tourists and locals show up to
put in thier orders for fish, lobster and conch. As Eric is slicing a frozen hog
fish or “capitan” on the slicer, Tomas is filleting a 2 lb grouper for a young
couple and their 2 year old child visiting from Michigan. Guelymar is tallying up the drums of lobster brought in by Georgie, one of our ferry boat
captains who is also one of the best lobster fishermen on the island. Today
he has brought in 98lbs. An average day for Georgie, Guelymar says. There
is someone sport fishing from the pier for the 5 or six tarpen who make a
daily appearance for breakfast as Tomas tosses them the remains of a fish he
is filleting. It is catch and release but the tarpon weighs about 12lbs, is 3-4
ft long and puts up a tremendous fight. Sergio “Papo” and Jose, Guelymar’s
uncles pull up to the pier with buckets of conch and joking around about
“the shark with big teeth”. They have brought in about 80 lbs of conch
today and used 3 tanks of oxygen. Jose, the captain of the boat, cleans the
conch and keeps track of Papo while he dives for the conch. Despite the
laborous day of work, the toll on their bodies, the constant dangers and
risks, there is constant joking and I’m amazed at the good nature of everyone. I can only think that is the sun, the rythm of the sea, fresh air and true
work that benefits Vieques in so many ways that keeps these fishermen with
constant smiles on their sunburned faces. Thanks guys! Stay tuned for part
two in January’s issue of Vieques Events.

LAS LANGOSTAS DEL ATLANTICO SE
DIFERENCIAN DE LAS LANGOSTAS
DEL CARIBE
By Scott D. Appell
The Green Man®
Lo b st e r C l aw s & L aw s :
Atlantic Lobsters contrasted
with Caribbean Spiny Lobsters
A
l crecer en Nueva York, comíamos langostas del Atlántico
frecuentemente: las amábamos y aprendimos a sacarle
cada pedacito de carne de sus impenetrables caparazones. Sin embargo, es raro encontrar rabos de langostas del Caribe
(siempre congelados y muy caros) en pescaderías gourmet o en el
menú de restaurantes caros. Nunca parecían ser tan buenas como
sus homólogas del norte - y ¿porqué solamente se comía el rabo?
Por supuesto, aquí en Vieques puedo encontrar langostas frescas
(conocidas por sus deliciosos grandes rabos) en cualquier momento,
a través de los pescadores locales, los cuales son verdaderamente
maravillosos. ¿Tengo alguna preferencia? No la tengo, porque los
considero dos mariscos totalmente diferentes (y de hecho lo son)
pero muchas personas piensan lo contrario, pero ese debate siempre
estará presente.
Aunque ambas especies son artrópodos marinos (animales con
patas articuladas), que es lo único que tienen en común, no están
estrechamente relacionados en lo absoluto. La langosta del Atlántico
o Maine es originaria de las frías aguas del Océano Atlántico hasta
Carolina del Sur y utiliza sus poderosas tenazas como su principal
medio de defensa contra los depredadores. La langosta espinosa del
Caribe solo se encuentra en las aguas cálidas del sur de los Estados
Unidos, a través del Caribe hasta Brasil y utiliza sus formidables
espinas para protegerse.
Por cierto, las langostas se tornan de color rojo cuando se cocinan porque se libera un pigmento que hay en su cuerpo llamado
“astaxanthin”. Cuando salga a comer fuera, siempre pida llevarse los
caparazones de langosta consumidos por usted y su acompañante
para que con éstos pueda hacer en su casa un caldo.

G
rowing up in New York City we ate Atlantic lobsters quite
frequently: we loved them and learned how to wheedle every bit of edible morsel from their impenetrable carapaces.
However, rarely you could encounter Caribbean spiny lobster tails
– always frozen and exceedingly expensive – in gourmet seafood
markets or on the menu in high-end eateries. They never seemed to
be as good as their northern counterparts - and why was there only
the tail to eat? Of course here on Vieques I can get fresh Caribbean
spiny lobsters –known for their large delectable tails - at any time
from our resourceful local fishermen, and they are truly wonderful,
too. Do I have a preference? I do not because I consider them two
entirely different seafoods – and indeed, they are - but many people
do take sides and that debate will forever wage on!
Although both species are marine arthropods (animals with
jointed legs) that is the only thing they have in common, they are
not closely related at all. The Atlantic or Maine lobster is native to
the cold waters of the Atlantic Ocean as far south as S. Carolina and
use their powerful claws as their primary means of defense against
predators. The spiny Caribbean lobster is only found in the warm
waters of the southern United States through the Caribbean to
Brazil and uses their formidable spines to protect them.
Incidentally, lobsters turn red when prepared because a proteinbound pigment in their bodies called astaxanthin is released with
the exposure to the heat of cooking. When dining out, always ask
to take your, and your dinner companion’s, lobster shells home to
make stock.
