Fresh hard-shell lobster and all you can eat chowder and mussels! Incredible! And while the food is amazing, so too are the stories behind the food. Arriving from Scotland in 1828, John Montgomery and his wife planted their roots along the coast of Cape Breton Island, where they farmed the land and fished the waters to provide for their family.
