Halifax restaurants take commercial lobster off menu to show solidarity with Mi’kmaw fishers – CTV

HALIFAX — Lobster is disappearing from some Halifax-area restaurants and the ongoing fishery dispute is the reason.
Staff at the Dear Friend Bar in Dartmouth, N.S., made a decision back in September to stop offering lobster on the menu because of the incidents in southwest Nova Scotia.
“We wanted to see if there was a way to shine more light on the issue but also support the Indigenous fisherman,” said Matt Boyle, the bar and restaurant’s co-owner.
Kourash Rad, owner of the Garden Food Bar and Lounge in Halifax, made that decision over the weekend.
