Are church suppers still something that exists on the Island?

Hi Wendy,

Traditional church-style lobster suppers were once a cherished part of the Prince Edward Island experience, but today only a handful of venues continue to offer this classic dining tradition. While favourites such as St. Ann's Lobster Suppers are fondly remembered, visitors can still enjoy authentic PEI lobster suppers at several well-known locations across the Island.

New Glasgow Lobster Suppers is one of the most popular ones, along with Fisherman’s Wharf in Rustico. 

For something a little different, consider the Lobster Lover's experience with the Fiddling Fisherman. This unique excursion combines a working lobster fishing experience and a fresh lobster roll served aboard a lobster boat. Guests can learn about the lobster fishery, watch traps being hauled, and enjoy one of PEI's most iconic foods right on the water.

If you're hoping to experience lobster the way many Islanders do, keep an eye out for local community fundraising dinners. Throughout the year, some community organizations and halls host lobster suppers or cold-plate lobster dinners as fundraisers. While these events are less common than they once were and are often advertised through flyers and Facebook, they can provide an authentic taste of Island hospitality.

Enjoy!
