Lobster on the Wharf has operated out of its location at the "old ferry wharf" on the edge of the Charlottetown harbour since 1964. The business evolved from a lobster pound started by Gordon MacKinnon.

In 1981 the business was purchased by Jim and Helen Larkin who expanded the product line into a full seafood market. A seafood restaurant was built next to the market right on the wharf overlooking the scenic Hillsborough River in 1986.

Today, after many expansions, Lobster on the Wharf is the largest seafood restaurant and market in the capital city of Prince Edward Island. We invite you to come and experience a tasty treat from the cold blue Atlantic waters!
