SAVOURY GROCERIES

Savoury groceries are the bottom of the locker: the things that keep for weeks without refrigeration and let you put a meal together even when the fresh food has run out or the sea state makes long cooking impractical. Pasta, rice, flour and semolina, canned vegetables, fish and ready meals, spices, sauces, condiments and oils, plus aperitif snacks.

This is the part of a provisioning list worth over-ordering slightly: a delayed stopover or a change in the weather, and the reserve earns its place straight away. Tins and dry staples stay light to stow for the number of meals they represent.

Build your list online and have it delivered straight to the pontoon, at Marina du Marin or wherever you are berthed in Martinique.
