Lol, and I remember working as a waiter in Old Montreal and having tourists constantly telling me 'The seafood must be so fresh here! You pick up the catch of the day just a few blocks away, right?'.
Can't really blame them for thinking that given the row of lobster restaurants on the east side of Saint-Paul street.... Then I had to inform them that most of it came from another country, and that any 'local' product was likely long-hauled from the maritimes in an 18-wheeler.
Obviously I didn't say it
that way though... Gotta get dem tips !
But yeah. Montreal is earthen all the way. No sea salt smell in these parts.
