Nova Scotia smoked salmon is a delicacy. Tonight for dinner, Dave, Irene, Ken and I sat around the kitchen table and ate smoked salmon The table was full of crackers and small rounds of bread, olives, cheeses and capers, and of course, two types of smoked salmon, sliced and by the piece. This was the first time this August we have indulged in a feast of smoked salmon. It was a delicious meal, but did lack a few of the basic food groups such as vegetables and salad.
Our excursion today was to Lockport, a funky little town that was important, once upon a time, but now is a vacation spot., way off the highway, stuck right out into the Atlantic Ocean. The Sunday storm hit them hard too, with their museum closed after being flooded. Their beach is over two minles long and today was covered with sea weed, from one end to the other. Our lunch was large, eaten at our favorite restaurant right on the water across from the fish plant. Sounds awful but is lovely. The day was perfect, just how you want it to be in Nova Scotia. 70 degrees and sunny, with a bit of a breeze. On the way home we stopped for the smoked salmon at the Mersey fish Products in Port Mouton and walked along the docks, admiring the fishing boats and the huge seawall. We need one for the causeway here at Western Head.
Finally, we arrived home to sit on the deck and watch for whales. That is always my excuse to do nothing. This was another lovely day in Nova Scotia. This morning, while I was walking into the post office to mail two letters, two men spoke to me and greeted me with a Good Morning. Nothing out of the ordinary, but very typical of Liverpool. The people notice your presence, even though neither of those men are known to me. It is one of the charms of Nova Scotia. People notice you when you are here. And we notice how good the smoked salmon is in Nova Scotia.
