🇨🇦 Halifax Lobster Crawl: The Ultimate Seafood Showdown! 🦞🌊

If you're planning a romantic getaway or foodie adventure to Halifax, this lobster taste-test guide from my July 2024 trip will help you navigate the best (and worst) crustacean feasts. With temperatures hovering around 20°C (perfect sweater weather!), we embarked on a 3-day lobster marathon across the city and coastline. Here's the delicious breakdown: 🍽️ Day 1: Waterfront Fine Dining vs. Coastal Charm 1️⃣ Salty's Restaurant (Downtown Halifax) 📍 Historic Waterfront | 💰 *~$50+ CAD per person* Lobster Experience: Classic steamed lobster with drawn butter - good but not mind-blowing Vibe Check: Upscale nautical decor with postcard-perfect harbor views (ideal for date night!) Rating: 7/10 - You're paying for the scenery 🌆 2️⃣ Shaw's Landing (Peggy's Cove) 📍 10min from the famous lighthouse | 💰 *~$30-35 CAD* Lobster Revelation: Whole steamed lobster tasted fresher and sweeter than Salty's Bonus: Their lobster roll (buttery, minimal filler) and lobster club sandwich were chef's kiss Pro Tip: Eat outside on their deck with lighthouse views - 9/10 🏝️ 🚗 Day 2: The Good & The Gross 3️⃣ Lunenburg Lobster Shack (Disaster Alert!) 📍 Quaint Fishing Town | 💰 $22 CAD The Crime: Served a cold, rubbery lobster burger with fishy aftertaste Verdict: 2/10 - Tasted like "leftovers from yesterday's catch" 🤢 4️⃣ Lighthouse Restaurant (Peggy's Cove) 📍 Right beside the iconic lighthouse | 💰 ~$28 CAD Redemption: Simple steamed lobster with corn/butter - juicy, sweet, affordable Fun Fact: Their chowder uses lobster broth made from shells - 8.5/10 🗼 🎯 Day 3: History & Gunpowder 5️⃣ Halifax Citadel National Historic Site 📍 Downtown | 💰 $12 CAD entry Unexpected Thrill: Caught the noon cannon firing - louder than a rock concert! 💥 Bonus: Panoramic city views from the fort walls 🏆 Final Rankings: 1️⃣ Shaw's Landing (Peggy's Cove) - Best value & flavor 2️⃣ Lighthouse Restaurant - Most scenic cheap eats 3️⃣ Salty's - Date-worthy but overpriced 4️⃣ Lunenburg Shack - Avoid unless you like disappointment Fun Side Effect: After 3 days of lobster binges, my sweat literally smelled like seafood. Gym membership = mandatory post-trip. 💪😂 📍 Key Locations: Salty's: 1869 Upper Water St Shaw's Landing: 9606 Peggy's Cove Rd Peggy's Cove Lighthouse: 66 Peggy's Point Rd #HalifaxTravel #LobsterLovers #CanadianSeafood #FoodieDiaries #MaritimeEats #LighthouseViews #SeafoodCrawl #DateNightIdeas #VacationVibes 🦞📸💑
