Historically, Twillingate was a prominent fishing community. Since the Fisheries and Oceans Canada moratorium on fishing northern cod was announced on July 2, 1992, followed shortly after by the collapse of the fishing industry, Twillingate has been forced to look to the tourist industry for income and is becoming a popular spot for visitors in the summer. It is billed as the iceberg capital of the north, but this year they had no icebergs. However, we were treated to a dinner theater that several couples had recommended to us when we were on the west coast of Newfoundland. We forgot our camera the night we went but I found a picture on line of the group that cooked us a great cod dinner and then jumped on stage to entertain us. What a hoot it was...Dad wants to make an ugly stick now to play music with the grandchildren. We ate dinner with a couple from Victoria and another from Maryland...it was a very fun evening.
