Trapper Keeper - Forget what mom told you. It’s okay to play with your food at Briarcliffe Inn in Bedeque, Prince Edward Island. The quaint, Canadian seaside community is a paradise for seafood aficionados with interactive specials that lets guest connect intimately with their food, as well as bond with the locals. Sail out with an experienced lobster fisher and trap your own crustacean with the “Lobster Lover” special, while listening to the history of lobster fishing as well as lessons on basic anatomy. Enjoy the rest of the tour by eating a cooked lobster onboard while sailing past Governor’s Island. If you prefer shells to crustaceans, sign up for the “Tong and Shuck” special and catch fresh oysters that you can shuck and taste. Leave some time for the “Seaweed Secrets” special and learn to identify different types of edible and medicinal seaweed. Put your knowledge to work and rake some Irish moss from the sea and finish the day baking and eating a seaweed pie, vegetable sea plant soup and dulse (red alga) biscuits.
