Charlottetown & lobster
Charlottetown sits in Atlantic Canada, where lobster has been hauled for over 150 years. Once dismissed as 'poor man's food,' Maritime lobster became a delicacy after the canneries of the 1800s — today it's the region's prize catch.
🦞 Lobster lore
Lobsters taste with their legs and chew with stomachs that contain a set of grinding teeth called the gastric mill.
