Famous food in Nova Scotia
Digby scallops
Digby, a little town in Nova Scotia, has one big claim to fame. It is known for having the best scallops in the world. The Crow's Nest is a nautically themed, well-liked restaurant in the town. A popular dish 'Scallops Three Ways' is served on a real scallop shell — includes pan-fried, deep-fried, and bacon-wrapped scallops.
Donair - Halifax's official food
Although the donair has been spreading across western Canada as a popular food, its origins are actually in Halifax, Nova Scotia. This sloppy, meaty, saucy wrap was named Halifax's official dish in 2015. King of Donair first began serving "the Official Food of Halifax” in 1973 and is famous all over Canada.
Oysters
A few different varieties of oysters grow in Nova Scotia's coastal waters. Shuck Seafood + Raw Bar in Halifax is pretty serious about their oysters. There are nine different varieties available on its seafood display and they change every day.
Rappie Pie
Traditional Acadian food, Rappie Pie, is made of meat and grated potatoes. Many restaurants in the province serve this dish. But, if you're traveling through Yarmouth and Acadian Shores, stop by the Red Cap Restaurant or La Cuisine Robicheau to try it. Rappie pies can also be purchased from D'Eon's to be baked at home.
Lobster
If you ask the locals where to eat in Barrington — the country's lobster capital — they'll probably recommend Capt. Kat's Lobster Shack. Their renowned Lobster Roll is a must-try.
