For the last post, the food!
Haddock and Chips, as well as a Lobster Roll, in Fredericton, NB:
The best (and cheapest) Lobster Roll we had on the trip! In Alma, NB:
Blackened Haddock Tacos, with Mango Salsa and a dessert of Strawberry-Rhubarb Cheesecake, made entirely by hand, from a French Pastry Chef that worked at this restaurant, in Saint John, NB:
Haddock and Chips, along with a Seafood Chowder, in Halifax, NS. These fries were the best French Fries I have *ever* had in my life:
We went to an Irish Pub one night and had non-seafood lol. My wife had a Turkey Pie and Caesar Salad, while I had an incredble Hamburger and Fries. These were the 2nd-best fries I've ever had in my life and this was the best meal we had on the whole trip, in Dartmouth, NS:
"The Burger That Ate Cape Breton," is a Brioche bun, with Tartar Sauce, Lettuce, a piece of Fish and Chip Haddock, Tomato, Sautéed Shrimp and Guacamole (all homemade at the restaurant). The complexity of the flavours and textures was insane and this was the 2nd-best meal of the trip (best seafood meal), while the fries were the 3rd-best I've had in my life lol, on the Cabot Trail, NS:
The 4th-best meal of the trip, the absolute greatest Club Sandwich I've ever had, with a side Caesar Salad. My wife had wings and said they were incredible as well. After a LONG day of over 10+ hours of driving, this was relished beyond words, in St. John's, NFLD:
Moose Burger! Moose is commonly-eaten in NFLD, though it it tricky to find in a restaurant. Luckily, we did find it and strangely (but in a good way), the burger was cooked medium-rare, which is rare to see in this day and age. I asked for a salad and they gave me fries <_<, so they sent a salad out lol. Just so full of flavour, it was so delicious, in St. John's, NFLD:
Was a lovely trip for food and seafood, too, if anyone is interested in going to Eastern Canada. We also had crab cakes, pan-fried Haddock and Mashed Potatoes (my wife's favourite meals on the trip), Seafood Pasta, Lobster Club Sandwiches (oh yes lol) and more. The fries were so good, due to PEI and NB supplying the entire region with potatoes, so the potato quality was among the best I've ever had in my life (if not THE best).
Awesome trip and my 2006 Subaru Outback survived like an absolute champ, through super-rough terrain (at times), many 8+ hour days of driving and a wheel bearing that started to go, when we were in NS.
I much prefer Eastern Canada to Western Canada and would have no issues heading back, especially since we weren't able to go PEI (they opened up to Non-Eastern Canadians, 2 days after we arrived back in Ontario). Well worth it!
