Seafood lovers rejoice! Lobster have arrived for a limited time - catch this Atlantic favourite while you can.
This traditional Maritime dish is made with Gaspé Peninsula lobster, creamy mayonnaise, celery, and served in a traditional white bun. It makes the perfect grab and go lunchtime treat, but don’t forget the kettle chips and dill pickle!
