10 summers of East Coast Mermaid ✨

Fall has officially washed ashore.

*cries*

But it’s OK.

Because if you ask me, how was your summer…

The answer is easy: it was one of the best ever 🥹

Which seems fitting given East Coast Mermaid turned 10 on the first day of summer and it was three magical months of all of the things I love:

🐋Whales Whales Whales
🚙 Road Trips & Ferry Rides
🥪 Many Beach Sandwiches
🚤 Boats & Friends
🐟 World-class Dining in the Maritimes.
📖 Wrote 125+ pages of my Novel.
🦪 ALL the Oysters.
🦞 So much seafood.
🩵 Making Memories with Mom & Dad
🎂 Shellabrations

This summer will be a hard summer to ever top.

So long summer 👋

You were swell and I’ll think about you every day.

Seafood School?

Let me pack my oyster shucker 🦪

I was recently invited to experience the Nova Scotia Seafood Academy.

A three-day culinary course offered by the incredible team behind Devour The Food Film Festival.

And not to be dramatic but these three days absolutely changed me and a lot of what I thought I knew about cooking seafood.

Learn something new about cooking lobster? Didn’t think it was possible.

But now I know how to shuck an entire lobster with only a butter knife.

I can also fillet a fish, clean, prep, and cook calamari, and make 17 incredible seafood recipes for family and friends.

Did someone say mermaid dinner party series? 🧜🏻‍♀️

If you’re curious about the Academy, love seafood, and enjoy cooking, their 2027 dates are now open for bookings.

Happy to answer any and all questions in my DMs 💌

➡️ For a deep dive into my three days of seafood school, splash up to my bio to catch the link to my article on East Coast Mermaid.

Boatloads of thanks to Chef Paul Thimot, Lia & Michael for making a spot for this mermaid in the classroom! 🫶

One last summer night with whales 🐋

I had such FOMO about missing the Witches Crawl this year but turns out…

I was EXACTLY where I was meant to be 🧜‍♀️

Grand Manan in September is pure magic.

Potato Pie?

No, that’s not island lore.

It’s a real thing at PEI Preserve Company.

And while I’m usually the kind of mermaid to go straight for the lobster roll on a menu, I couldn’t resist giving it a whirl when we stopped for lunch at their beautiful restaurant on our trip to PEI in August.

You could say that curiosity got the mermaid 👀

It’s basically:

🥔 Potatoes
🥓 Bacon
🧀 Cheese
🌿 Fresh herbs & spices

And it is D-E-L-I-S-H.

The sauce will make you want to lick the plate.

Have you tried it? Let me know in the comments because we need to talk about it 🤤

And check out ➡️ @preservecompany next time you’re on the island! It was our first visit and definitely won’t be our last! Their on-site shop is a must!
