Hello, when is the best time to visit PEI to get lobster, oyster and other shellfish season? Where can we buy the shellfish fresh off the boat?

Hello Alice,
Thank you for your question to Ask an Islander.
Lobster season usually starts early May until the end of June and again mid-August to mid-October. You can purchase directly from the boats at the harbours. Some may have a few available for sale.
Also, check out our local markets and food product outlets for fresh seafood.
We have fresh seafood all year long!
Enjoy!
