A Tale of Two
Coasts
Both Vancouver Island and Prince Edward Island offer terrific seafood, farm-fresh produce and beautiful ocean views, but which reigns supreme?
By Joanne Sasvari
Two oceans. Two islands. Two delicious destinations. Prince Edward Island is known, for good reason, as Canada’s Food Island. But across the country to the west, Vancouver Island is saying, “Hold my (artisanal, small-batch, hand-crafted) beer.” Both islands are places of abundance with an exciting and evolving food and drink culture that can only be savoured in these very special places. PEI is Canada’s smallest province, a crescent-shaped piece of land cradled by New Brunswick and Nova Scotia in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Part of the traditional lands of Mi’kmaq, a First Nations people, the island is known for its fertile red soil, sandy beaches, and gently rolling hills.
