A trip to Newfoundland, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island inspires this dish of roasted cod with mussels, corn and tomatoes.
My wife Cheryl and I recently vacationed on Canada’s East Coast, with stops in Newfoundland, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. Here are some foodie highlights from that trip — along with a recipe inspired by it.Our vacation started in St. John’s and one morning there we visited The Rooms, a museum/gallery described as Newfoundland and Labrador’s largest public cultural space.
While in the Trinity Bay area we also stayed at Goose Cove Retreat and visited the scenic towns of Trinity, Bona Vista and Port Rexton, home to another great brewery. While at Goose Cove, I cooked up a delicious feast of cod au gratin, using fish Dale had caught and shared with Anne.Our next vacation stop was Halifax and we stayed at the Halliburton Hotel.
We then drove to other histories places, including Mahone Bay and Lunenburg, and then travelled to where would stay two nights, White Point Beach Resort, located near Liverpool, Nova Scotia. That inn has been operating for more than 95 years, has a great beach, a good restaurant, and is a splendid place to enjoy the good life.From Nova Scotia we drove to Prince Edward Island, taking the Confederation Bridge from New Brunswick to get there.
It’s a good idea to come hungry because, for your fixed-priced meal, beyond a lobster served with melted butter, you also get appetizers, including chowder, a mountain of steamed mussels, a plated trio of salads and crusty rolls. If you don’t care for lobster, you could choose one of the other main courses they offer.
While cod roasts, pour remaining 2 tsp olive oil in a 9-inch skillet set over medium, medium-high heat. Add the corn, tomatoes, garlic, pepper flakes, oregano and paprika and cook two to three minutes. Pour in the stock, bring a simmer, and reduce it by half.
