Live large on lobsters on Prince Edward Island
Dine on the freshest lobster in the world on Prince Edward Island.
Lobster has been shorthand for culinary luxury worldwide for the best part of 150 years – ever since well-to-do Bostonians and New Yorkers developed a taste for the meat (before that it was considered a peasant’s meal).
But have you ever wondered what life is like for the people who catch the crustaceans?
Delicious lobster from the waters of Prince Edward Island.
On a Prince Edward Island lobster tour aboard owner-operator Captain Mark Jenkins’ vessel Top Notch, you’ll experience a day in the life of a fourth-generation lobster fisherman – before dropping anchor in one of the most scenic coves for a fresh lobster meal.
Get going:
Top Notch Tours (markscharters.com) run three times a day during PEI’s lobster season of July and August. Travel there with the PEI Landscapes of the Canadian Maritimes tour (insightvacations.com).
Lobsters are pulled in on a fishing trawler.
Location: Tours leave from Charlottetown, where you’ll find Top Notch Tours at No. 2 Prince Street, on the waterfront.
