Shediac, New Brunswick - Lobster Capital of the World || Travel Bug Info ||

Shediac (Shédiac in French) is an Acadian town in Westmorland County, New Brunswick.
The town is home to the famous Parlee Beach and is known as the "Lobster Capital of the World". It hosts an annual festival every July which promotes its ties to lobster fishing.
At the western entrance to the town is a 90-ton sculpture called The World's Largest Lobster. It is believed that chiac, a well-known French accent, was named after Shediac.
Shediac was originally called La Batture. Its name was later changed to Shediac in reference to its position at the basin of the Shediac River.
The name "Shediac" itself is derived from the Micmac word Esedeiik, which means "which comes from far away", possibly in reference to the Shediac Bay or the current of the Petitcodiac river.
The Giant Lobster is one of Atlantic Canada’s best-known landmarks and most photographed attractions-300,000 visitors flock to Shediac each year and almost everyone makes a stop at the Rotary Park to take a look at the WORLD’S LARGEST LOBSTER. The sculpture has appeared in national TV advertising and hit television shows such as Amazing Race Canada.
Situated near the strait of Northumberland, Shediac is famous around the world for its giant lobster, where thousands of visitors have their pictures taken each year, thus confirming our claim to fame as "THE LOBSTER CAPITAL OF THE WORLD". The first mention of the word "lobster", a word attributable to Captain Parkhurst, appears in the Maritimes Archives as far back as 1578.
