Lobster is fished from the North East & South East New Brunswick waters and is a valuable seafood export for Canada. Here in the Maritimes, the lobster has changed in its significance over the past century or so.
Initially, lobster was a staple for local people and lobsters were so under-appreciated that in lobster season they were used as fertilizer in the fields.
Lobster processing facilities and transportation possibilities opened up the enjoyment and appreciation for lobster at the table locally, across Canada and beyond Canada. Eventually, eating, enjoying and craving lobster became widespread. Now, each lobster season is much anticipated and celebrated. The industry has developed from a basic, local food to serious business, with exports and a lively tourist attraction for the fishing regions.
