Newfoundland lobster is a staple food during lobster season (typically late April to late July). Here, it’s fresh from the pot, cooling down in the wind before being ready to eat.

Storage buildings such as this one are called stores and house fishermen’s overflow and seasonal equipment. They differ from fishing stages, small buildings on stilts in the water used for the first step of preparation after a catch.

Newfoundland lobster pots are different in shape than typical West Coast lobster pots. They are often placed abundantly in shallow areas, and if a fisherman is lucky, he will catch one or two lobsters a day using bait of other fish and squid.

These small boats, painted white and marked numerically for identification, are abundantly found all around Newfoundland.

With long cold snow-filled winters, endless ocean, and rushing wind, splashes of bright colours like this add cheer.

In the rare moments of calm water, you can see the reflections of the small houses, stages, and stores nestled in close to the water.

These wooden buoys are attached to the end of lobster pots. Everyone paints his or her set a different colour to identify them when collecting.
