    If you ever visit PEI go north until you come to a place called North Rustico Harbor. We experienced some of the nicest people you could meet there while vacationing from Maine. We went fishing and donated our cod to the local church. Cod season had just reopened after being closed for 2 or 3 seasons. They were having a big celebration because of the cod season and the “new” potatoes were in. A wonderful time with lovely people.

      It is a highly regulated and fully sustainable fishery both in Canada and the US. All females that can bear eggs are returned to the water and there is a tight size limit for males that are kept. It is an amazing fishery. You should do some research. Peace.
