History:
This delectable part of our culture was originally conducted by The New Glasgow Junior Farmers Group as a fundraiser for their organization, now a private business operated by two of the orignal founding families. New Glasgow Lobster Suppers is known as the original P.E.I. lobster supper and started with a single meal on June 24, 1958. Since then the restaurant has developed into one of the largest and most popular lobster suppers on Prince Edward Island. New Glasgow Lobster Suppers specializes in serving fresh Atlantic lobster from their on-site salt water pound, capable of holding over 20,000 pounds of live lobster. Their famous home cooking, baked fresh daily, has contributed to much of their success. Accommodating groups of 10 – 400 people in either the Clyde Room or Glasgow Room allows flexibility when planning for groups. Arrange to have the Lobster Supper turn into a Ceilidh in the evening with space for entertainment and dancing.
PEI Lobsters:
Which parts are edible? How do they fish lobster? What do they eat? How are they kept? How old is market sized (1 pound) lobster? The friendly and knowledgeable staff at New Glasgow Lobster Suppers can answer all of these questions, offering your delegates a better understanding of this aquaculture industry. If lobster isn’t enough to dispel your fresh Atlantic seafood cravings, they also serve mussels by the bucket full which are grown in nearby bays. During one season the New Glasgow Lobster Suppers will serve over 50,000 pounds of these delectable treats. This no-frills affair perfectly showcases unadorned, local seafood and the friendly Island hospitality shown by the staff will have a lasting memory of a true Island lobster supper at the New Glasgow Lobster Suppers.
