Acadian seafood: New Brunswick Travelvideo Postcard by Wendie Hansen
WE were headed to Miscou island on the Acadian coast of New Brunswick ...but the wind had really whipped up and we were starving.
So we hauled Into....Steve's.
Looked just like a Lobster trap hut, just over the Miscou bridge...you might not even notice Steve's if you weren't really hungry...Turns out it was THE best food for miles...dreamed about by fans from all over...and if the ...chowder was ANY indication, they do not dream in vain.
Serendipity!
Then, in the town of Shediac, where lobster is... king. ... the Victorian, Maison Tait...provides a decidedly elegant experience.
Unlike Steve's, Maison Tait has a well established history of fine dining...and I feared at first it might be too 'uppity' for our relaxed mood. But the service was warm and welcoming and Executive Chef Chris MacAdam shapes, New Brunswicks best ingredients into ...WOW !
What taste delights can you discover in New Brunswick, Canada's only officially bi-lingual province?

Mount Carleton | Saint-Quentin, New Brunswick | Canada
On Saturday, July 20th, 2013, we drove to Saint-Quentin, NB to visit Mount Carleton Provincial Park, and to hike to the top of the highest peak in the Maritimes!
Overall, I highly recommend it! I have lived in NB my whole and never made it to Mt.Carleton before but this certainly won’t be my last. Next time, I hope to hike the other trails including Mt. Sagamook which is the most challenging trail there. Spruce Camp was such a great place that you would be hard pressed not to enjoy it, so long as you packed appropriately. It was dog friendly which is fantastic! Our dogs were so excited the whole time.

The Fundy Bay and park / La baie de Fundy et le parc (New Brunswick - Canada)
(EN) The Bay of Fundy (French: Baie de Fundy) is a bay on the Atlantic coast of North America, on the northeast end of the Gulf of Maine between the Canadian provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, with a small portion touching the U.S. state of Maine. Some sources believe the name Fundy is a corruption of the French word Fendu, meaning split, while others believe it comes from the Portuguese fondo, meaning funnel.The bay was also named Baie Française (French Bay) by explorer/cartographer Samuel de Champlain during a 1604 expedition led by Pierre Dugua, Sieur de Monts which resulted in a failed settlement attempt on St. Croix Island.
The Bay of Fundy is known for having the highest tidal range in the world. Rivaled by Ungava Bay in northern Quebec, King Sound in Western Australia, Gulf of Khambhat in India, and the Severn Estuary in the UK, it has one of the highest vertical tidal ranges in the world. The Guinness Book of World Records (1975) declared that Burntcoat Head, Nova Scotia has the highest tides in the world:
The Natural World, Greatest Tides: The greatest tides in the world occur in the Bay of Fundy.... Burntcoat Head in the Minas Basin, Nova Scotia, has the greatest mean spring range with 14.5 metres (47.5 feet) and an extreme range of 16.3 metres (53.5 feet).
Portions of the Bay of Fundy, Shepody Bay and Minas Basin, form one of six Canadian sites in the Western Hemisphere Shorebird Reserve Network, and is classified as a Hemispheric site.It is administered by the provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, and the Canadian Wildlife Service, and is managed in conjunction with Ducks Unlimited Canada and the Nature Conservancy of Canada.
In July 2009, the Bay of Fundy was named as a finalist for the New 7 Wonders of Nature contest that ended in November 2011. It was not chosen as a wonder.
(F) La baie de Fundy est connue mondialement pour ses grandes marées (jusqu'à 21 m), selon certains les plus hautes du monde. La légende micmac (Amérindiens) veut que les marées de la baie de Fundy soient causées par une baleine géante qui agite l'eau. Les océanographes expliquent plus scientifiquement que la période que prend l'eau à baisser entre deux marées, d'un bout à l'autre de la baie, et le temps entre deux marées hautes (12,4 h) est similaire. Ces deux phénomènes entrent donc en résonance et amplifient la différence entre la marée haute et la marée basse pour donner un effet de seiche. De plus, comme la baie rétrécit graduellement entre son entrée et les baies étroites de Chignecto et de Minas, le volume d'eau se voit donc forcé de changer de configuration en augmentant son épaisseur pour compenser la largeur qui diminue.
Le bassin de Minas est celui réputé pour avoir les plus hautes marées au monde, mais certains soutiennent que c'est au bassin de la rivière aux Feuilles dans la baie d'Ungava du grand-nord du Québec que revient ce record. Le Service hydrographique du Canada a finalement conclu que les deux sont statistiquement égaux. En effet, la moyenne est de 16,8 m à Burntcoat Head, Nouvelle-Écosse et 17 m dans la baie aux Feuilles. Le record de la plus grande marée est de 21,6 m, les 4 octobre-5 octobre 1869, lors du passage d'une tempête tropicale, appelée Saxby Gale5,6, au Nord-Ouest de la baie de Fundy. Les vents et une marée exceptionnelle s'étaient alors combinés. Cependant, comme la baie aux Feuilles est dans une région éloignée, les statistiques y sont récentes et peu fournies.
Ces marées et les forts courants dans la baie engendrent à certains endroits moins profonds des remontées d'eau des profondeurs. Tout ce brassage permet à la baie de demeurer libre de glace à l'année, bien que la température de l'eau ne monte jamais à plus de 10 °C en été et qu'en hiver la neige tombe en grande quantité.
