Sea-to-Table Lobster Adventure, East Coast Outfitters
This adventure begins with a 2-hour guided sea kayak paddle through secluded bays and inlets, where you will view the fishing village of Lower Prospect from the water. Climb aboard a working lobster boat and hear tales from a local fisherman as he shows you what a typical day on the water is like. From there, you return to the East Coast Outfitters dock where you will enjoy smoked oysters and an authentic lobster dinner prepared by a local chef as the sun goes down.
Hall’s Harbour Lobster Pound
Where better to enjoy an old-fashioned lobster dinner than wharfside at a working lobster pound? Here you can self-select a lobster and have it prepared in the on-site cook shack. Savour your lobster in the waterfront dining room or on the patio while you witness the Bay of Fundy rising and falling up to 12 metres (40 feet) twice per day. The spectacle of colourful fishing vessels resting on the ocean floor at low tide is an unmissable photo opportunity!
Capt. Kat’s Lobster Shack’s Lobster rolls
There are tons of delicious lobster rolls available all across the province, but Captain Kat’s gets special attention because it took first place in the Lobster Roll Challenge, beating out nine other competitors, during the inaugural South Shore Lobster Crawl in February 2018.
Visit the Capt. Kat’s in Barrington Passage, the Lobster Capital of Canada, to get your fill of lobster rolls, lobster fondue, creamed lobster, stuffed lobster tail, lobster linguine… and more!
Les Beaux Vendredis Seafood Suppers
Loosely translated to “Nice Fridays,” Les Beaux Vendredis Seafood Suppers is certainly a nice way to spend a Friday evening. Gather around the picnic table at the Belliveau Cove Wharf overlooking St. Mary’s Bay/Baie Ste-Marie for a delicious meal of lobster, snow crab and clams. Live local music is featured during this informal meal, and you’ll meet plenty of locals mingling and sharing stories of the area.
Shore Club Lobster Suppers
Having served over a million lobster suppers since its inception in 1936, the Shore Club in Hubbards is a Nova Scotian institution and a favourite of locals and visitors alike. The relaxed atmosphere, delectable lobster and live music all come together to create a memorable evening. This place is popular, so make a reservation in advance to avoid disappointment at the door!
