Lobster Fishing Area 34 in Southwest Nova Scotia covers 8,500 square miles (21,000 km2), an area the size of New Jersey. It has the largest catches of Canada’s 41 lobster fishing areas, accounting for 40 percent of the country’s catch and 23 percent of North American landings. Local fishermen pride themselves on harvesting cold-water lobsters with a hard shell. As luck has it, Trout Point Lodge lies in the centre of it all, just inland from Yarmouth, Shelburne, and Digby.
There is simply nowhere else in the world to enjoy better lobster! The chefs at Trout Point will make the most of this local delicacy in their daily cooking. While many people boil lobster, local fishermen in Southwest Nova Scotia steam their lobster (often in seawater) to maintain its delicate texture and delectable flavours! |
