Are You a Lobster Lover? They say there are plenty of fish in the sea. Well, there are a lot of crustaceans too. At Ballast Ground Fisheries, we have some of the most lucrative hard-shell Atlantic lobsters that come fresh off the boat. The Atlantic lobster is the pride of Nova Scotia and is often referred to worldwide as the King of Seafood. Its nice, juicy, succulent flavour offers an unforgettable gastronomical experience. Not to forget its nutritional value: high in protein, omega-3 and calcium. History In 1999, Hector MacKinnon Sr. opened a little lobster-buying station and a retail centre to serve the public fresh live and fresh boiled lobster caught off the coast of North Sydney. As years passed by, the little lobster pound grew bigger and new construction began. We now buy and sell lobster and snow crab in many ports throughout Cape Breton. Serving our community and providing excellent service to our fishermen is Ballast Ground's top priority! more... See more text
