Lobster in the Rough

Hall's Harbour Lobster Pound is also home to the "Lobster in the Rough" dining experience. During the warm weather, locals and visitors alike flock to this tiny fishing village to select and have prepared in the on site cook shack, a sample of the world renowned Bay of Fundy lobster.

The experience is heightened by devouring this delicacy while seated in our waterfront dining room the prime stage for observing the Fundy Tides the highest tides in the world. At low tide the wharf is high and dry and the fishing boats wait patiently on the harbour bottom until the tide rises as much as an inch a minute to the 40 foot high tide mark on the wharf.

Truly a phenomenon to witness! The scene is set with some lobster traps, fishing boats, the scents of pine and sea wrack with a gang of hungry seagulls hanging around. Is there a better way to eat lobster?


History

The buildings which are presently known as the Halls Harbour Lobster Pound, date to the 1820's. They have served in former years as a school house, church, meeting hall, a general store, way station, customs office, blacksmith's shop, etching studio and shipyard from which the Ella Moore Tarquentine was launched as well as three 60-70 ft. schooners. The smaller buildings were used as fish sheds, summer camps and an ice house.

The Halls Harbour Lobster Pound now serves as one of the largest lobster holding facilities in Canada with a capacity of up to 65,000 pounds. It features state of the art technology including refrigerated water, a new trickle tray and a "floating pools" holding system.
From this facility, lobsters are packed and shipped wholesale to points from Europe to Asia. Our business is expanding with new products, services and markets all over the world.
