Best Seafood Finds in NS

I have had considerable trouble with pictures from NS. I had them printed but do not seem to be able to access them on the computer. I didn't like the camera much - bought it new for the trips. I took it back to Henry's and they were very accommodating. I like my new one much better and have pictures of the last adventure.

Anyway, to my mind my best lobster was at the Lobster Pound at Hall's Harbour. The best clams (actually whole and not strips) at a little place called Mom's Diner at Caning and by best scallops were not at Digby but from there prepared at Acton's in Wolfville.

I've discovered I really am not that enamoured with the ocean. I think Lake Huron has spoiled me. The scenery was often quite beautiful or rugged. The biting insects drove me crazy. Glad we went and having a home base on the mainland and Cape Breton was a good idea for us. Fort Loisburg was probably the highlight. We had a wonderful guide (Iris) who had loads of wonderful stories to tell. The reconstruction is very impressive and we got a real feel for life in the booming port. Stop for breakfast at Judy's Lil Diner and tell her you'll take cookies to her husband at the forge. She sent us with a treat for him.

Oh, and it is true - NS are exceptioanlly friendly.
