Atlantic
Lobster - also known as Northern and American lobster.
Worldwide, they are often referred as the "King of Seafood" and are
definitely the pride of Atlantic Canada. They are fished in the cold,
pristine North Atlantic waters off Canada and the U.S., in shallow
inshore areas and deeper offshore waters. Lobsters are handpicked,
packaged and transported directly to our carrier at the Halifax
International Airport. Delicately textured and succulently flavored,
Atlantic Lobster is truly a one of a kind taste experience.
Northern
Propeller Clam - harvested in deep, pristine waters off
the Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia. This clam is from the Family
Hiatellidae, which also includes the Genus Panope, commonly known as
the North Pacific geoduck. The propeller and the geoduck clams may
therefore be considered cousins. Both species display the extended
siphon, the propeller clam only to a much lesser degree.

Haddock
- both haddock and cod are members of the family Gadidae. Before the
advent of refrigeration, cod was preferred due to it's suitability for
salting. Presently, fresh and frozen haddock have now become the
consumer's number one choice, presenting a more delicate, slightly
sweeter flavour than cod. The meat provides excellent nutrition, is low
in fat and is an good source of sodium and potassium.

Monkfish
- The tail meat of the monkfish is delicious and is composed of firm,
white flesh that holds up extremely well during cooking. It has a mild
flavour; dense, sweet, and is very similar to lobster tail meat in both
flavour and texture. Like many fish, monkfish is an excellent low-fat,
low-cholesterol source of protein and B vitamins. Monkfish liver is
quite popular in Japanese cuisine, usually served as sashimi (Ankimo).

Sea
Scallops - The soft fleshy texture and delicately mild
sweet flavor of scallops is enjoyed by even those who are not
particularly fond of fish or other shellfish. They are usually shucked
at sea so that only the the delicious, sweet white morsels of shellfish
muscle (meats) are brought ashore. Their size ranges between 20-30
meats per pound and they are easily grilled, broiled or used in
recipes. They are available fresh and frozen.The season for fresh sea
scallops runs from October to March.

Oysters
- With flavors ranging from mild to salty, these plump, mineral-rich
bivalves are the prize of epicures, who tend to enjoy them raw or
barely cooked. They can be steamed, baked or grilled. Oysters are not
only delicious, they're also among the most nutritionally well-balanced
foods, containing protein, carbohydrates and lipids. The National Heart
and Lung Institute suggests oysters as an ideal food for
low-cholesterol diets.

Soft-Shell
Clams (Steamers) - Soft-shell clams (Mya arenaria), also
known as steamer clams, gapers and squirt clams, are filter feeders,
residing in the substrate of bays and estuaries throughout Nova Scotia.
Their shells are white or dark blue in colour, depending on the type of
substrate they inhabit. White-shelled clams are associated with coarse
sand with less organic material, while darker shells are found in fine
silt with higher organic material. This anomaly does not affect the
quality or taste of the clams. Individual clams can grow to a size of
100 mm., the average, approximately 65 - 70 mm. The minimum legal size
limit in Nova Scotia is 38 mm.
