What is it? Solomon Gundy is the Nova Scotian name for pickled herring. (Pictured at the very top of the plate)Where to find it? Austrian Inn, Highway 1, Yarmouth, Nova Scotia.
Thoughts... Solomon Gundy tastes exactly the same as the pickled herring that comes in glass jars in the States - firm fish, pickled withe slices of onion.
It actually took a while to find an eatery serving authentic Nova Scotian fare. The Austrian Inn serves a Nova Scotian buffet with tons of local dishes and lots of dessert. For $14 CAN, this stop was definitely worth it. This place is popular among the locals, as older ladies were waiting in their cars starting at 10:30 am for the restaurant to open at 11 am.
