I love dulse Deane, I buy it all the time. It's very good for you too!

 

I was just teasing. I actually like it too but haven't had it for years. I'm not sure if we can get it locally but probably can.

Shane,
Yes good thing about lobster being in season. Even I indulge in a little of that.

I've had dulse b4 along with east coast kelp, and a few other varieties used in Korean cooking. (a past flame). Very unique.

There's actually a Korean seaweed dish called 'Gim' that's salted, seasoned and broiled. Goes well with rice, vegies, or whatever you want.
Very nice, and a real delicacy.

Colin.

 

If you ever want some really good stuff, let me know and I can ship some down to you.

 

Yeah, it is quite unique....very much an acquired taste. The best dulse comes from Dark Harbour on Grand Manan Island, which is not far from where I live.

Thanks. Let's get a meet organized and I can get some in person.
Any ideas?

 

We could always do the Moncton thing like we originally planned.

 

I'll give it some thought and think about a date too. I'll post something in the next week or so.

I was thinking.....it would be nice to have our East Coast meet somewhere along the coast. I think a coastal setting would be much nicer setting than having it in a city. If we are meeting up in NB, there are a few places that I think would be perfect. St Martins, St. Andrews, and Hopewell Cape are a couple of places that would be nice for a meet.

Let me know what you guys think.

 

Sounds good to Pat & me.
Moncton is a good central location, but I agree a coastal location is a better choice.

I like the idea of St Martins / St. Andrews myself.
Pat & I love that area of N.B.
St John isn't far away either.

 

Yep, both St. Martins and St. Andrews are about 45 min drive from Saint John. St. Andrews is more of a tourist town so there is a little better shopping there for the ladies.

 

All those places look super, Shane. I take it they're not too far from each other too???? I'd love to see the Hopewell Rocks-- reminds me of a few seasides in England i used to visit. (altho the rocks there weren't nearly as huge). Very picturesque.

Nope, they are not all that far from each other. St. Andrews is probably only about 2.5 hours from Hopewell Cape.

Fundy National Park would be another great spot to go. I go there quite often to go camping and is where I go to get all my lobster. You buy it fresh off the boat and they cook it in seawater....pretty darn good.

 

All of those spots look fantastic Shane. There is always something magical when you are around the water. Our family has fond memories of the east coast when we were camping for a few weeks and Fundy Park was one of those spots.

Love FNP we've camped there b4.
Alma is a great little town....
We love being up on the cliff at FNP looking down to the village.
Also an amazing low tide walk out from shore.

We can't wait to get back
