When I was 10, my family and I took a road trip all through the east coast. I'm proud to say that as a Canadian, I have been across almost the entire country and feel so privileged to have experienced it in such different ways – I've been to Nova Scotia, P.E.I., New Brunswick, Quebec, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and B.C. All I need to visit are the territories and Newfoundland!

When I was in Nova Scotia visiting my uncle, he and my parents really loved indulging in all the fresh seafood – especially lobster. As a kid, I didn't get it – I have always had a rocky relationship with seafood. As an adult I look back at that kid sitting on that picnic bench seaside and wish I had taken the time to fully appreciate my surroundings. I also wish I had taken the chance to eat lobster for free while I could. HA! Well, this Lobster Poutine has not only brought back some nostalgia from my childhood, but it's also been a great way for me to now enjoy eating it!

Lobster Poutine  Lobster Poutine

The first time I ever tried a Lobster Poutine was from Little Fin in Toronto a couple of years ago. I must say it was absolutely one of the best things I've ever eaten – so gluttonous and rich, but so worth it. I found myself wishing it had more lobster, however, so as I started to build my content calendar for July, I thought I would create my own lobster poutine for the blog! Thirty minutes and some deliciousness later…voila!

I guess I should mention that this isn't so much a recipe as it is a suggestion for entertaining on Canada Day. I really didn't make any of the ingredients, which kind of goes against my personal food policy. But come on, Canada Day and family gatherings are supposed to be easy, so be like me and give yourself a break. Throw in some oven fries, make that stovetop, store-bought gravy and open up that package of cheese curds. Maybe splurge on a lobster tail or two…it's really up to you how far you want to take this thing!

Speaking of Canada Day, it used to be a really fun occasion for me before I reached adulthood. I don't know about you but I remember sparklers and fireworks in the park, beach days and BBQs, road trips. The past few Canada Days, however, have been spent working so I'm happy to say I get to actually be among the majority of people this year who take the day off! Knowing me, I'll probably kick back with a big pitcher full of watermelon mojitos or some passionfruit cocktails…

So this Canada Day, think of me when you decide to whip up this fantastic Lobster Poutine. You really won't have any regrets, I promise!

    The directions leave out when to add the lobster. Before or after it goes in the oven?

      So sorry for the delay Kelly, this is one of my older recipes. I believe i added the lobster before it goes into the oven!
