When it comes to great dining, it’s quality ingredients that make all the difference. And it’s no secret that Prince Edward Island is a world-class destination for fresh seafood. The clean, cold, North-Atlantic water produces arguably the world’s best lobster, sustainably harvested off the island’s famous red-sand shoreline. PEI celebrates a rich history of lobster fishing, with many 3rd and 4th generation fishers practicing family traditions dating back over 150 years.
Lobster PEI fisheries are proud to offer sustainable, responsibly caught lobster that has been Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certified since 2014. Avoiding overfishing and prioritizing ocean health is an important step in bringing high-quality lobster to Canadian dinner tables. MSC Ambassador Chef, Charlotte Langley, praises Prince Edward Island fishers as “stewards of the sea,” reliable for providing lobster that follows her food philosophy of traceability, sustainability, and ethicality.
With travel restrictions and safety measures in place, Canadians are turning to their own backyard and reflecting on how much there is to appreciate in the country we call home.
