It’s Lobster Season!
Winter may be synonymous with hearty soups and stews, but here on the East Coast, we’re also excited for the return of lobster season! In fact, winter may even be the best time to enjoy lobster, as its meat is generally sweeter and firmer due to the colder sea conditions. In the Moncton-Dieppe area, many local seafood restaurants offer freshly caught lobster on their winter menus, so be sure to add at least one to your itinerary!
- Le Moque-Tortue (402 Main Street, Shediac)
- Catch 22 Lobster Bar (589 Main Street, Moncton)
- Lenny’s Take Out (30 Wyse Street)
