Masstown Market (6.5) – Masstown

The Masstown Market (@masstownmarket) is located at the beginning of the route along Nova Scotia’s northern Bay of Fundy shoreline. Open year-round, the market offers a range of local treats including fresh farm produce, flea markets, corn boils and fresh lobster. It is a busy gathering place for people from both Colchester and Cumberland Counties, as well as for those from away. For $9 you get a cup of chowder, half of a turkey sandwich, a roll and potato chips, making it one of the best values on the trail to-date. The chowder is creamy and has lobster, shrimp, scallops and haddock along with diced potatoes and celery, but the broth tastes a bit like a pre-made mix and is lacking in flavour. We gave it a 6.5/10.
