LOBSTER-TOPPED FISH CAKES IN BARRINGTON
When in Nova Scotia, you can never have too much lobster and there is no better place to enjoy this delicious crustacean than the Lobster Capital of Canada—Barrington. Head to Captain Kat’s Lobster Shack and pull up a chair. Now get ready for good old-fashioned Maritime hospitality and some of the tastiest lobster around. While their lobster roll is award-winning, go for the lobster-topped fishcakes. Two mon- strous fishcakes are made with plenty of seasonings smothered in their homemade creamed lobster. It will certainly keep you fuelled for your culinary adventures.
SHRIMP PO’ BOY IN SHELBURNE
Home to the world’s third largest natural harbour, it comes as no sur- prise to find plenty of sea-based eats in Shelburne. If your stomach’s rumbling, stop in at The Emerald Light. You cannot miss the contem- porary deep green exterior as it pops out amongst the other buildings on Water Street. Find light and hearty eats as well as an extensive bev- erage list. Do not miss the Shrimp Po’ Boy on a pretzel bun with leafy greens, succulent shrimp, hearty strips of bacon and a homemade mayo drizzle. It pairs perfectly with their house-made cucumber lemonade.
LUNENBURGER IN LUNENBURG
What do you get when you top six ounces of freshly ground local beef, smoky mozzarella cheese, juicy bacon strips, crisp arugula, garlic aioli with scrumptious lobster in a savoury tarragon butter sauce on an artisan bun topped with... yes, a bacon-wrapped scallop? Say hello to The Lunenburger. The masterpiece is only available at the Grand Banker Bar & Grill! At this Maritime pub, you will need two hands to contain the monster as you sink your teeth into this beast of a sand- wich. It will be messy but worth every last finger-licking bite. DS
