Enjoy Nova Scotia Cuisine

Nova Scotia seafood lives up to its reputation with every delicious mouthful:

• Lobster - At a beach bonfire or a wharf-side bistro in white linen elegance – fresh-caught, world-renowned Nova Scotia lobster is delicious in any setting. 
• Digby scallops – These are the gold standard of scallop; plump, sweet, perfectly seared, served on their beautiful shells just hours after coming ashore.
• Mussels – Enjoyed steamed with wine, garlic and lemon, accompanied by a cold local beer on the deck of a pub overlooking the ocean.
