Cape Breton lobster website directs you to lobster, fresh off the boat
A new website is highlighting where people in parts of Cape Breton can purchase fresh lobster right off the boat.
Lobster fishermen from Bay St. Lawrence to Gabarus — what's known as area 27 — have launched a website that shows users a map of all the ports where lobster is sold and what hours it is available.
Most lobster from area 27 is exported, says Veronika Brzeski, the project manager for the fishermen in the area.
She says part of the need for the website is that people want to know where to get fresh lobster.
"Every year, I hear the same quote. People are going around, tourists are going around asking, 'Where can we buy lobster?'" said Brzeski.
The website address is www.capebretonlobster.com.
