Lobster Season

To all Seafood Lovers!

As the days get longer and the temperature begins to rise, the Eastern Shore of Nova Scotia prepares for one of its most anticipated events of the year: lobster season.

From mid-April to early June, fishermen set out into the Atlantic waters, braving the early morning chill and the turbulent waves in search of the elusive crustacean that has come to define this region. The Eastern Shore is home to some of the most fertile lobster grounds in the world, and the catch here is highly prized for its sweet, succulent meat and bright red shell.

This is a time of hard work and long hours. The boats are loaded up with traps, bait, and the latest technology to help locate the lobster beds, and the fishermen work tirelessly to haul in their catches. It's a dangerous job, but one that is deeply rooted in the culture and history of this region.

Whether you're dining in a local seafood restaurant, cracking open a lobster on a picnic table by the ocean, or enjoying a lobster feast with friends and family, there's no denying the unique and unforgettable taste of this world-renowned delicacy.

As the season winds down and the last of the lobster traps are pulled from the water, there's a sense of satisfaction and pride that comes from a job well done. For the fishermen and their families, it's a time to rest and recharge, knowing that they've played an important role in bringing this iconic seafood to tables around the world.

So whether you're a seasoned lobster lover or a first-time visitor to the Eastern Shore, make sure to mark your calendar for lobster season. It's an experience that you won't soon forget.
