The Old Fish Factory Restaurant & Ice House Bar transforms fresh catches from the Atlantic into a menu of creatively spun seafood and casual dishes. Begin a flavour odyssey by sailing into a sea of seafood chowder ($8/cup, $10/bowl), or silence yammering me-first sirens by sharing seared Adams & Knickle scallops topped with slow-simmered bacon jam ($10). Main courses include baked halibut with strawberry salsa ($26) and traditional all-beef Lunenburg sausages served with sauerkraut, garlic mashed potatoes, and oktoberfest mustard ($12/lunch, $14/dinner). The 60-seat wharf-side patio invites musings about investing in an underwater summer home over shareables such as Shelley's valley apple cake, which drizzles fresh-baked Annapolis Valley apples and cinnamon in rum sauce ($6).

Proud not only of its maritime hospitality and private collection of Poseidon figurines, The Old Fish Factory also boasts a fitting location inside the Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic. Ears and eyes may feast on live entertainment through August at the Ice House Bar, including the Ice House Jam on Tuesday nights and the Kitchen Ceilidh hosted by fiddler Anna Ludlow on Wednesday nights.
