Shediac, New Brunswick.  Just say the name Shediac and anyone who has been here will ask you:  ‘Did you go and see the big lobster there?’.

It’s pretty hard to miss – it’s HUGE, people are taking pictures of it, kids are climbing on it, it’s in the center of downtown beside the Tourist Information centre.  You can’t miss it.

  Lobster restaurants, lobster trucks, lobster stores, lobster shirts, lobster knick-knacks.  Yup, they sell everything “lobster” here.

We drove down to the pier and watched the lobster boats come in, we watched the yachts go out on a beautiful evening, people were out fishing for mackerel off the pier, or having a dinner in one of the pubs there.  Very exciting place and if you are in the area you should go to Shediac and hang out – it’s lots of fun and you won’t go home hungry!
