Looking for Lobster!!!

Hi all, my DW and I are going on the Maasdam- Montreal to Boston on July 8th. She loves her lobster and so if there are any suggestions of what towns and places serve up the best please let me know! We are going to be at Quebec City, Prince Edward Island, Sydney, Halifax, and Bar Harbor.

PEI for sure. Try https://peilobstersuppers.com if you can get there.

for Bar Harbor - Stewman's Lobster Pound (downtown BH location); about a 5 minute walk from the tender dock.

Neptune Oyster in Boston. Some of the best lobster rolls in town.

In New England it is pronounced Lobsta

Oh and best mussels anywhere come from PEI.

New Glasgow lobster suppers may not have the freshest of lobster.

On the way to Peggy's Cove outside Halifax check out Ryer's Lobster which cooks it for you and gives you want you need to enjoy it on the spot: https://www.tripadvisor.ca/Restaurant_Review-g635951-d2252615-Reviews-Ryer_Lobsters-Indian_Harbour_Halifax_Region_Nova_Scotia.html

You should be able to get fresh lobster in Sydney: https://www.tripadvisor.ca/Restaurant_Review-g181763-d765153-Reviews-The_Lobster_Pound_And_Moore-North_Sydney_Cape_Breton_Island_Nova_Scotia.html

Fresh Lobster is seasonal... is it available July/August?

Fresh lobster is not seasonal, but the price depends on how many are hardy enough to go out and fish. What is somewhat seasonal is the difference between soft shell and hard shell lobsters, with about a $3/lb price difference.

And, yes, July and August are prime fishing season, but prices will be generally higher due to tourist demand.

Here is where our guide stopped between Halifax and Peggy's Cove

cheng is right, you can get fresh lobster in New England and Canada all year round. Some areas have "seasons" where they can only fish for lobster in certain months, but they will still have fresh lobsters on hand the rest of the year that they get from other areas where lobster fishing is still going on.

Just had a great lobster roll sandwich yesterday, lobster is truly a beautiful thing.

duplicate!

The best lobster is fresh caught and not sitting in a pound. Here is a chart showing lobster seasons around Nova Scotia. You will see that up to July 20, Sydney would be a good place to get lobster. http://www.tastelobster.ca/images/fishing_regions.pdf

For Halifax, if you are not going to Ryer's on the Peggy's Cove Road then a good place downtown is the Bluenose II restaurant: https://www.tripadvisor.ca/Restaurant_Review-g154976-d702172-Reviews-Bluenose_2_Restaurant-Halifax_Halifax_Region_Nova_Scotia.html

I loved the West Street Cafe in Bar Harbor. Lobster dinner with all the fixings was $14.95.

Ditto West St Cafe. The Lobster lunch is delicious and includes clam chowder and blueberry pie. Get there early because the line starts to build past 11:30. Also have had great lobster rolls at Stewmans. They have an outside deck for dining which is great as long as the weather is good.
