Or take a drive out to the farm between Lunenburg and Mahone Bay (I'd leave that trip for the summer, personally). The cutest little scallops that actually "breathe" and dance right in front of you remind me of Walt Disney's version of Alice in Wonderland when the Walrus invites the scallops to lunch. Okay we won't go there, but....seriously, these are the best ever and your guests will be wowed every time you serve them.

Dave gave us information about: the lifecycle of a lobster, how to determine the sex of a lobster, how there is one large cracking claw and a slightly smaller grabber claw, the general ages based on size, putting a lobster to sleep, how lobsters are caught in a trap, how to put a rubber band around the claws, ... yep a whole bunch of information on the "lobsta". 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.

After moving to the area, we were delighted to find a great market that's open 7 days a week. So…read moremuch selection here from local apples to potatoes and local preserves and frozen scallops or lobster. Absolutely everything you need and no reason to go to big box stores. There are constant 'flash' sales with random items on sale for a ridiculously low price. Follow their social media pages to find out how to get a deal. The only downside to this place is the amount of plastic wrap waste is used in the store. Literally every item is slapped in plastic so it's very discouraging. If they can get swat from thus significantly wasteful problem, this would be the best place in the neighbourhood.

Probably the busiest spot at the Halifax Stanfield International Airport is the Clearwater Seafood…read moreshop and no wonder. A fresh lobster is probably the most uniquely Maritime souvenir to take back home, and no one does it better than Clearwater. Lobsters are fresh and glorious looking and won't last long once you get them back home. And for the non-lobster lovers, there are other foodie gifts to take home. I do have to add that, while the price of the lobsters is competitive, there are additional costs to consider. After all, you can't expect the lobsters to sit in the seat next to you.

This is one of our favourite local spots, especially on a nice night if you can get a table on the large patio. This was not one of those nights, so we happily took a both inside. Service is always "local-friendly", casual and welcoming, but perhaps not precise and efficient. Unlike some other local places forced to hire inexperienced staff, many of the Rope Loft staff have been there awhile and know how to make your visit enjoyable. The menu is broad but Maritime focused. Lots of very local beers on tap as well. We've been there many times, food is always good, often really good, and occasionally excellent. Tonight I had a blackened Halibut which was spectacular, as good as a fine dining experience. A great local option, if you can get in!

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.
