At this time of year, when many in the world are having visions of chestnut-stuffed turkeys and sugar-plum pies, the typical Nova Scotian’s table will also include lobster. This favourite indulgence can be enjoyed year-round, but is so often connected to family celebrations, such as Thanksgiving or Christmas, or simply a family member returning home, wanting to recapture a taste of his or her childhood memories. Smushed between slices of Wonder Bread or glazed in butter a sauce on the end of a silver fork, there is always a sense of celebration when Nova Scotians enjoy this gastronomic delight, harvested from the frigid ocean depths that surround this moody North Atlantic peninsula.
