Why Quebec's Magdalen Islands Are a Must-Visit for Food Lovers
"An 80-year-old smokehouse founded in 1940 and still operating in a hangar-like building where much of the islands' catch is smoked over maple-wood fires; iridescent-scaled herring hang from the rafters and the owner serves skewers of smoke-cured mackerel, cod and salmon. The strong smoky flavors are paired with a locally brewed beer made with malted barley impregnated with herring drippings — a bold, almost animal-flavored match that highlights the shop's old-world curing traditions." - Taras Grescoe
