Lobster is a Prince Edward Island staple and just one reason why this province is known as Canada's Food Island. The rich land produces bountiful fruits, vegetables, meat and dairy products. Its waters teem with fish, lobster, oysters, and other shellfish. One lobster season runs from May to June in the north and east coast; the other runs from mid-August to mid-October on the south side of PEI. See Island Recipes.
