Can you ship mussels and oysters and lobster fresh?
Good morning Shelagh;
Thank you for your inquiry to Ask an Islander. Sounds like you are craving a taste of Canada's Food Island. Me too. I haven't had a feed of fresh lobster yet. Hopefully, my family will get some for Father's Day.
Yes, lucky for you, fresh shellfish including lobster, oysters and mussels, can be shipped from Prince Edward Island. For a complete list of retailers, please visit lobsterpei.ca/wheretobuy/. MR Seafood has a great reputation.
Should you also need guidance on cooking your feast, visit the following pages:
And, if by chance, you have leftovers, here's advice on freezing seafood.
I invite you to download or order our 2023 Visitor’s Guide. You can always stay in touch by signing up for the Tourism PEI newsletter which includes details on upcoming festivals and events and recipes too!
Enjoy your seafood feed!

Asked: I will be visiting Souris in early July 2024. I would love to take in a traditional lobster boil ( if that’s the correct wording , with the potatoes and corn and sea food ). Is there a local area known for offering this?
