Oatcake (Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia)

What is it? Oatcake. This oatcake was dense and a had a texture like a shortbread cookie.

Where to find it? Bakery in Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia and other bakeries throughout Nova Scotia.

Thoughts... I think this is probably something the sailors or fishermen would live off for months at sea due to its probable shelf-life of a few years. This reminds me of a rock cake that I had at a colonial reenactment event.
