What differentiates the PEI oyster is a clean, salty taste that finishes sweet – a combo unique to the Gulf of Saint Lawrence – and it becomes arguably even more succulent when the temperature drops. That's because as the ocean cools, the oyster's adductor muscle, which holds the shell together, grows stronger, adding a little bit of sweetness to the taste.

The oyster is also at its plumpest right when the cold weather hits, having filtered up to 189 litres of water a day while feeding on plankton until the waters drops to four degrees Celsius. Over the winter, the oyster lies dormant until spring.

"The Elmwood is an enchanting place to rest our vacation weary bodies. The Violet, the owner, was very accomodating to our ask for an extention to our stay. Both of the rooms we stayed in were very beautiful and full of memories of a past life with past occupants of the Inn. This is definitely a place I would recommend to anyone visiting the Charlottetown area"

"Restaurant inside hotel but did not try it. There are other restaurants 10 minutes away by car. There is a small snack shop about 5 minutes walk towards water. There is a fully fenced in dog park about 5 minutes away by car going away from city which is located behind water treatment center. You can have a nice long walk on boardwalk by the water just a few minutes away. Pool access to the attached building is a plus."
