You can't go to Digby and not get a feed of scallops, and what better place than an actual seafood…read moremarket? When my wife and I showed up on a Saturday afternoon, I was in luck because the scallops and fish combo was one of the daily specials, clocking in at just $21! My other half, not being a big seafood person, opted for a cheeseburger. Having arrived well after the main lunch crowd, we had our food in quick order and ate indoors, taking a break in their AC. My plate of brown, deep-fried goodness wasn't exactly a poster child for the Canada Food Guide, but it sure was good! The scallops had a light dusting of breading before hitting the fryer, and they were a perfect doneness - not too soft, and not at all rubbery. Being minimally adorned as they were, the sweetness of the scallops took its rightful spot at centre stage. The fish portion of the plate was comprised of three small filets of haddock, with a light breading on the exterior. I do prefer a crisp, airy beer batter, but the quality of the fish stole the show, as it flaked easily in solid chunks, but wasn't mushy or shredding to tiny bits. It was one of those times where the fish was so good that I only used the tartar sauce for my fries. Said fries were the standard, from-frozen fries that I think of as "diner fries", but they were good and crisp on the outside, with fluffy interiors, so they were about as good as they can be. On the upside, the fries acted as a delivery mechanism for one of the best tartar sauces I've ever had! Heavy on the minced pickle chunks, the tartar sauce had a sweetness to it that reminded me of mustard pickles (in the best possible way). When a place does a simple thing like this so well, it really make all the others that just do packets of Kraft look even worse. Although far from being the star of the show, my wife's cheeseburger was a solid, diner-style burger. Carla's was just what I was looking for while in Digby - down home style seafood that's well-executed without pretension.

Everyone says their stuff is the best in the world but in this case it really is true. 20-30 foot tidal shifts in the Bay of Fundy every day leads to a rugged environment for shellfish to survive in. With that tidal shift comes hearty, delicious seafood, including the scallops. They taste different. Sweeter. Best in the World? Yes, yes they are. This is the legit place to get the freshest, highest quality seafood - and at the most reasonable price too.

This being Digby, we binged on all things scallops: Scallop Risotto, Scallop Trio Dinner, and Bay Breeze Summer Salad with Scallops and Shrimp.

I was with a large group, we brought wine with us and wine glasses were brought to the table immediately, along with ice water and warm rolls. I ordered the haddock, those around me went with scallops, mussels and seafood chowder and everything was fresh and delicious. My only suggestion is with the vegetable side, which appears to always be peas and carrots...I guess I would check in with the customer on that when ordering. I had no idea that peas and carrots were automatic, I don't eat cooked carrots, and they could have been saved for another customer. Dessert was a BIG hit with the group. Three ordered GIGANTIC slices of coconut cream pie and one, a most perfect slice of strawberry rhubarb with cold house made vanilla ice cream slowly melting on the top. Overall, a lovely night. A comfortable restaurant, where you can dress up if you wish, or not, with extremely fresh seafood prepared excellently.

We arrived before 6 without reservations - we were informed the kitchen closes at 7 pm. We were happy to be able to sit at the outdoor bar overlooking the water and marina.

I was sadly disappointed in the scallops however. They were rubbery and lacked flavor. We took home coconut crème pie which was outstanding!

Ordered the smaller size; it was plenty of food. Clams were fresh and a good serving size. (not just a plate of fries with a couple of clams!) Came with home fries, which are my preference. Sorry I didn't take a picture of the plate of food! I intended to, but when I unwrapped it, it looked so good I just dug in! I got the impression that they usually have regular fries as an option. He did tell me, when I ordered, that they only had home fries. I included a picture of the menu board with current pricing. Important since I believe it's cash only. Friendly service. Very quick. I don't eat deep fried food very often. So, when I do, I don't want a greasy mess and I want the food to be worth eating. And it's been awhile since I had a feed of clams that was that good, so I'll be going back.

By the time we found Lavena's I had had my fill of fried food. I was pleased to see the variety of options and fresh preparations available at Lavena's. We had the last of the rapure pie (an Acadian mix of potato and chicken), scallop and haddock chowder, and salted fish cake with green tomato chutney. Everything was delicious and NOT deep fried! The rapure pie was a new discovery for us and my husband found it hearty and comforting. The chowder was full of huge chunks of fish, potato and scallops with a nice light broth - green onions a simple but nice addition of flavour. The fish cake was good size, soft with a lot of fish. The lemon pie was light, lemony and not to sweet, a nice finish to the meal. I was hoping to come back for dinner after we explored Brier Island, but learned they close at 3pm (September), maybe they are open later during prime season. I'm hoping to return to the area and Lavena's one day!
