"One Particular Harbour"


Quaint, picturesque, and inviting...
Rustico is quite well known as having by far the best lobster grounds, with the biggest catches of anywhere on the island. "Fisherman's Wharf Lobster Suppers" and the "Blue Mussel Cafe" are popular places to enjoy the fresh seafood of Prince Edward Island. We opted for the Blue Mussel Cafe where we enjoyed local mussels, a lobster roll, and chowder. The mussels were sweet and tender. They also tasted a bit milder than those found on the Massachusetts shores. The lobster was good, but we like the lobster in the Cape Cod Canal (Willy's) much better. It' sweeter and much more tender.
We sat outside and took in the welcoming sights of the calm and warm waters while listening to the faint bustling of tourists strolling the boardwalk. The small harbour was lined with small shacks, shops, restaurants, and of course a lighthouse and beach where we "off roaded on the beach" with the Lead Sled!
