Carr's Oyster Bar

Prince Edward Island


Dine on oysters straight from Malpeque Bay, or lobster, mussels and seafood you've never even heard of, like quahogs from Carr's own saltwater tanks (the menu helpfully divides dishes up into raw, steamed, fried or baked). There is also plenty of fish on offer.

There's a rather uninspiring aquarium, stuffed bird gallery and gift shop, too.
