They were also over cooked. I've bought pre cooked lobbies from other locations before when in a time crunch like I was this time and never had this issue. They were ruined. When paying top dollar for lobbies from a fisherman's market, you think they'd know how to cook them.

To top the information provided, Dave brought out various sizes ranging from a pound to bigger than 2.5 pounds. He said he has seen an eight pounder... As for eating, they used to cook up the lobsters on site but that was shut down by complaints from Halifax and local seafood restaurants. They do ship by FedEx worldwide.

Sister Sarah and I drove to Fisherman's Cove…read more Fisherman's Cove is both frozen in time and constantly evolving. Nestled in a centuries old fishing community, they're home to a unique collection of gift shops, museums and art galleries, delicious restaurants, coffee and bake shops, ice-cream canteens and fish n' chip shacks. Because it's off-season, a lot of the shops were closed but it was fun to walk around ... I love being by the water. In addition to the shops, it also functions as a fishing wharf. I never knew this place existed until today. I imagine it's an awesome place in the summer with all the shops open.

TL;DR/The Short Version: Popular Farmers' Market. Too…read morecrowded for me. A good variety of vendors, but I prefer the Halifax Brewery Market, personally. The Long Version: When my husband and I were in Halifax recently, we did 2 Markets back-to-back, this one and the Halifax Brewery Market and I personally liked the Halifax Brewery Market better, as it had more interesting foods and vendors and wasn't as crowded. My impression is that this Halifax Seaport Farmers' Market is more for tourists and the Halifax Brewery Market is more for locals, but I could be wrong. I got a Pancit Bihon for my husband and I to share at Pinoy's Best Halifax. It was $7 for a small serving. It tasted good and had this Liptons Chicken Soup smell that I loved, lol. Weird, I know. I just didn't like that they microwaved it in a plastic container. I would have preferred it if it was kept in metal warming trays and served into a cardboard container. My husband got a 4L jug of Maple syrup from Ripley's Maple ($58) for his sister. She was coming to Halifax too but not when the Halifax Seaport Farmers' Market would be open so she asked him to get it for her. He gave it to her in Halifax and she was driving home, so we cannot attest to whether the jug would survive a flight in checked baggage, it would be at your own risk, lol. I'm glad we checked out this market. If we were in the area again on future visits to Halifax I would drop by, but I wouldn't specifically plan to go to it like we did this time. (179)

The fry order was generous and perfectly seasoned. The order came with an obligatory tub of slaw and tartar, both pretty good. They also sell fresh and frozen seafood and baked items. Great to have this venue in the neighbourhood.

It's so nice to have a spot that serves as a baby-grocery store, offering great local produce and delightful items, like cheeses from Nova Scotia and grains from New Brunswick. They also sell goods like maple syrup, frozen local and organic berries, as well as a variety of meats. You can even stop by for lunch, as they have sammies and salads, as well as coffee, tea and sweets. I love biking over in the summer and stocking up on apples. One of my favorite things to buy is their raw milk cheese from Quebec - it's a real treat, and although it only comes in small blocks it really goes the distance with its rich and flavorful taste. I support this business' mandate of offering local and mainly organic food year round, while fostering a very nice community space. You should swing by and pick up some yummy consumables today!

In a cross section done in the recent Coast 'Green Halifax' guide you can see that buying basic items such as: Speerville Mills oatmeal, apples, eggs, butternut squash and chicken-- can be found cheaper at Local Source Market, or at least on par with the Halifax Farmer's Market. Some of the things that I found particularly of note: *The Coast Green Halifax Guide *Boates Cider *Meadowbrook maple sausage *Terroir pear honey and sun gold tomato ketchup *Dragons Breathe cheeses. Lots of great choices at Local Source! Be sure to check the bulletin board for community announcements.

The woman I spoke to was helpful in relaying their focus, and provided a charismatic energy to my visit. I discovered that prices are marked up only slightly, as the organization is non-profit and the co-op is just looking to pay rent every month. With such genuine intentions, its a spot to support. Besides its wide range of grains, the co-op offers pasta, dried fruit, nuts, jams and honey, chocolate, and frozen foods from treats to bread and waffles. There are even organic cleaning supplies towards the back! Its an abundant little spot with a strong backing of locals. And this goes without saying, but all of The Grainery's supply is of the local and organically made origin. While I can't do grains so much, I'll be back for the Raw Chocolate and other treats. Its a collective of people making the extra effort to provide the community with goods. A worthy trip-- food coming from a good place with the intentions to match.
