    Eggs Frobisher Bay which is basically Eggs Benedict with smoked
    char subbing for ham.

    I think they wanted to stress that the fish came from the Arctic
    Ocean and not some fish farm down south. They do in fact source
    their smoked char from Iqualit and their fresh char from Cambridge
    Bay.

    Wikipedia has a very lengthy list of Eggs Benedict variations
    and their names. Some of them sound appealing.

    How about blackened char?

    Nope. You can view their various menus here if you'd like all the

    Sounds interesting - are the prices geared toward rich Asian
    tourists, or can locals or even modest-budgeted Canadian
    tourists afford to eat well

    It's certainly not an every day meal for me. I did lunch there a
    couple of weeks ago with a client and two burgers with coffee or a
    soft drink were $50.

    The dinner appetizers run $20-$22 and the mains $40-$44 on average.
    I didn't check out what the drinks or wine set back our party's
    host. But it would have been considerable.

    I wonder if HFCS is as poisonous as people think.

    I have come to the conclusion that it's probably not so horrible
    after all. The first alarmist studies appear to be flawed. The
    problem with the standard North American diet is the total number of
    calories consumed and the prevalence of added sugars of all kinds. I
    still tend to avoid it though but I'm no longer a fanatic about it.

    swans [...] taste of tern, another fish-munches.

    Swans are almost entirely herbivorous. I doubt if they would taste
    fishy like a loon or a Turr does.
