These same high tides are what gives New Brunswick much of its culinary bounty. Lobsters, scallops, mussels and salmon are all abundant in the waters surrounding the province. A local native, Percy Mallet, regaled us with a humorous story of his school days. Their fathers were fishermen and they always had lobster in their lunch boxes. New Brunswick also has a bountiful land.
Mushrooms line the forest floors and for a short while during the summer, fiddleheads grow.
Fiddleheads and mushrooms. It sounds magical. I can just imagine a group of gnomes huddled under a giant mushrooms cap, playing on a fiddle. And in a way, fiddleheads are magical. If you've never tried these delicacies, make the effort.
