Great spot for getting fresh live lobster. Very reasonable prices with lots of lobster available. I…read morecame here on a Sunday and got 8 lobsters for just over $10 a pound. Plus, I bought a few other items for enjoying my "lobster-with-friends-party". I also enjoyed walking around the area like the peaceful marsh or shopping. Definitely a good place to go and make half a day out of it.

Great place, fresh beautiful lobsters to take away and cook!…read moreThey also have a great selection of other shellfish available

Dave gave us information about: the lifecycle of a lobster, how to determine the sex of a lobster, how there is one large cracking claw and a slightly smaller grabber claw, the general ages based on size, putting a lobster to sleep, how lobsters are caught in a trap, how to put a rubber band around the claws, ... yep a whole bunch of information on the "lobsta". To top the information provided, Dave brought out various sizes ranging from a pound to bigger than 2.5 pounds. He said he has seen an eight pounder... As for eating, they used to cook up the lobsters on site but that was shut down by complaints from Halifax and local seafood restaurants. They do ship by FedEx worldwide.

One of the best fish and chips places in the HRM. Located in Dartmouth by the ferry terminal…read more There's seating and a patio with take out as well. All the seafood is fresh - you can also buy some if you want to make it yourself! But eat here, save yourself the hassle. Always get the fish and chips. Two piece if you are hungry - three if you are famished. Their coating is different from most places - more of a breading versus beer battered. Family run. Fantastic place

Ordered seafood chowder to go. Two bowls cost $20 each. They each came with a fluffy dinner roll…read more While the chowder was full of haddock, tiny scallops, potatoes, bits of lobster and maybe salmon?, the broth was a watery but still flavorful. A little costly in my opinion, yet the seafood was cooked to perfection.

Went twice during our visit in Halifax. Had to try lobster roll which only came on Saturdays…read more Lobster roll was much better than from restaurants (less mayo, more lobster meat and less expensive).

Absolutely adored this market on our trip to Nova Scotia…read more Locals highly recommended Evan's Seafood inside here for authentic fish 'n chips. So glad we happened to come during the market time. There were so many delicious vendors and local wares. I wish we had more time to visit and try it again but everything we tried here from fish to jalapeño cheddar breads to pastries were amazing. The view here was breathtaking and I'm sure a magical place to watch the seasons change. There were free activities while we were there including full size pumpkins for free for kids! This market had a wonderful community feel and it's a definite do not miss for locals and visitors alike!

This morning a few girlfriends and myself took a little jaunt over to the Dartmouth Farmers' Market…read moreto see what marketing is like on the dark side. I speak somewhat in jest, but honestly, for all the cute little stalls and funky shops to check out in the area, I'm amazed that more Haligonians don't venture across the pond. The unseasonably nice weather we've been having certainly made for a fun ferry ride, and once we arrived, the farmer's market is right in the ferry terminal. Not nearly the size of the brewery market, but lots of hand knit goods like toques and monster like teddy's (playing off of the 'Wild Things' release it would seem) as well as fresh produce, jewelry, baked goods, seafood, and hand carved sculptures. I highly recommend you check out the 'Dartmouth Farmers' Market.' I was impressed to see many of the older European stall proprietors haggling fiercely for the price of toques and other trinkets. Far less crowded than the Halifax market as well, so go check it out!

Our group had visited Peggy's cove and the lighthouse and anyplace to eat there was extremely busy…read more We started driving out of town and noticed Cafe l Acadie and were really glad we did. We like to try new foods and we don't always like them, but the adventure is in exploring new food cultures. The food here was really good! Some folks that tried the Rappie pie or bites weren't enthused about them but glad they tried. It's one of those acquired tastes I assume. I had the meat pie and really enjoyed it. Those that had fish and chips said they were really good.

What is Acadian food? Well, for us it was fish cakes, meat pie, and rappie bites. Most of the menu…read morewas Acadian, as identified by a French flag next to the item. If those don't appeal , there are a small number of standards like fish&chips, lobster roll, and poutine. My l'Acadie Fishcakes were made from salt fish (cod?) from Nova Scotia, expertly pan-fried. The portion was reasonable - though they were so good I could have eaten a third. They were served without a sauce (not needed), accompanied by house-made baked beans and marinated carrots. The sides were no afterthought either; the red beans were baked (not overbaked) in a flavorful sauce, and the carrots, thinly sliced, were sweet and tangy. The wife got the l'Acadie Meat Pie: a 1/4 portion of a round pie. The filling was the shredded meat, a blend of chicken, beef, and pork (!), seasoned with garlic and spices. This was inside what was described as a biscuit crust. Overall this was very good, not heavy like a meat pie can be, and not dry - but if you find it so there is the au jus gravy on the side. We didn't find it necessary. This pie was served with an excellent Caesar Salad. We split an order of Rappie Bites, which is a way to experience rappie pie in appetizer form. A filling made from grated potatoes and ground chicken, formed into golf-sized balls and deep fried. Interesting. I was expecting a firmer texture like a hush puppy which they resembled but the filling in these were soft and contained by the slightly crispy crust (of bread crumbs?) Unlike the bites which are always available, the pie is a specialty, available only on Sunday, and advance reservations are recommended to guarantee you can get it. I haven't had it in pie form and would maybe try it, but the meat pie was so good I might end up getting that again instead. I had a local cider to drink. Several local craft beers were available as well as wine. I don't remember if liquor was available. There were several desserts but we didn't try them. The only one specifically identified as Acadian was the Pouding Chômeur, described as a dumpling-like cake batter which caramelizes when baked, in a homemade maple sauce. Also ginger molasses cake, maple bread pudding, apple crisp, and strawberry shortcake - with the biscuits made in-house. As I am writing this they all sound so good I wish we had tried one - or more!

I remember the beginnings of this great little shop as a temporary fruit and vegetable stand on the…read moreside of Fall River Road. The fruit arrived every morning - you knew it was fresh because there was no place to store anything. Now it has found a home in a real building a couple of hundred metres from the traffic lights just off the highway - the lights weren't there when this place started. So much has changed in Fall River - but this little place still serves up the best local farm produce. It has the right feel to me with big farmers crates out front filled with melons, cabbage, apples, etc. It still feels like a farmers market as opposed to the multitude of former markets that have morphed into stores. On the real side (not the down side) is that it is so connected to the local produce that when melon season is over - its over - no more mellons - which I miss - but I am getting distracted. Fortunately The Vegetorium is now just entering the apple season so I have lots to look forward to from this little place by the side of the road.

Love this place ! Always has what I'm looking for ! And locally made gluten free sausages !read more
