I agree with your question about the overfishing of Cod Stocks - there are so many people around the world that have enjoyed the cod from this region for years that it would be a shame if it was to all disappear. <br /><br />Since moving to Canada I've made it as far as Halifax but it's on our list to visit and after reading this post and reading your recipe, we may have to make it there sooner than later :)<br /><br />Rhondahttp://oliveandruby.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567715590164266982.post-18492186661035749412013-06-09T21:40:25.159-07:002013-06-09T21:40:25.159-07:00I love the photo with the laundry too!

I always felt part Canadian as we lived right across a river from Canada AND spent every summer on a boat in Canadian waters. So fishing, berrying were all part of my childhood and then my mother, fabulous cook that she was, would make the most divine suppers from what we brought back to the boat. Never have been to Newfoundland though...your photos are wonderful. <br />So is the chowder recipe. Always have loved chowder.<br />(I see squid all the time while diving in the Caribbean. Nobody ever nibbled on me though. :) AND one of my favorite salads is topped with squid.)Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10038190964528332030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567715590164266982.post-2957572111620410092013-06-09T02:00:47.303-07:002013-06-09T02:00:47.303-07:00What a wonderful heritage.
