WALK 55 MINUTES ON ILE HAVRE-AUBERT -- WEIGHT 237
After indulging in lobster on three out of our first four days on Iles de la Madeleine, we have turned our attention to snow crab.
The local snow crabs reside 40 kilometres west-southwest of Les Iles in deep water, 45 to 275 metres. They are fished with traps, starting in April and ending when the quota has been reached. Happily, this year's harvest is continuing, and we are able to feast on the sweet meat.
With new potatoes and excellent butter from Prince Edward Island, and locally grown hydrophonic lettuce. With the butter liberally laced with garlic--You guessed it!--from China.
Our aim to eat fresh and eat local as much as possible, and we're succeeding nicely.
And here's the bonus: As in most of Quebec, well-priced Cahors and syrah reds from France are readily available.
