Nova Scotia Chowder Trail 2020
What’s in a chowder? Potatoes, no potatoes; lobster, no lobster; – everyone has a favourite chowder and a different idea of what makes the perfect bowl. That’s what makes chowder so exciting!
On the Nova Scotia Chowder trail, you get to discover all the unique and delicious chowders this province has to offer. With trail stops from Yarmouth to the tip of Cape Breton, there’s a bowl of chowder for everyone.
Take part in the 2020 Nova Scotia Chowder Trail to indulge in the many chowders in our province.
