Montreal & lobster
Montréal's lobster comes down from the Atlantic east coast — a trade pioneered by fishmongers like La Mer, which from 1968 was the first to import fresh east-coast fish into the city several times a week, and the Atwater Market fish hall, trading since 1975. Come spring, Québec markets overflow with lobster.
🦞 Lobster lore
The European lobster (Homarus gammarus), darker and rarer than its American cousin, commands a premium on UK and French menus.
