It is illegal to keep a berried female.
Unlike the roe, or red eggs inside a cooked lobster, these black eggs glued to the outside of the tail are fertilized. After 9 to 12 months of carrying them on the swimmerets, the eggs will hatch into tiny lobster larvae that float on the surface of the ocean for 6 to 8 weeks.
Where can you enjoy delicious lobster without the fuss and mess AND feel good about where your money is going? Not only that, the lobster is LOCAL (within 10km).
Our lobster fishery has been certified sustainable by the Marine Stewardship Council. This fishery joins an elite group of 259 MSC certified fisheries across the globe that are helping to ensure healthy marine ecosystems for the future.
At 0500 on Friday May 15th, our lobster fleet of 500 boats in east Cape Breton will head out to start the season.
