Food in Summerside

Agriculture, tourism and fishing are the economic mainstays of Prince Edward Island. Tourism has become a major industry on the Island and the new bridge to the Mainland has increased its tourist potential. Prince Edward island is known for its beauty, and over 800 km of beaches. Although lobster is king of the waters off Prince Edward Island, herring, notably cultivated mussels, about 30 other fish and seafood species are caught, bluefin tuna and the renowned Malpeque oysters. Most of the industrial activity has to do with food processing, especially in the medical, although high-technology industry is becoming important, electronics and agricultural fields. PEI is the home site of Lucy Maude Montgomery, author of the 'Anne of Green Gables' and other books, and has become an international tourist phenomenon with people from all cultures coming to participate in cultural events and fairs.
