Vegetarian options in seafood country?

Does anyone have any recommendations for vegetarian options/restaurants in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and Charlottetown, PEI? We love seafood, but have a vegetarian teenager. I hope someone can prevent her from starving.

Traveling to Cape Cod, Bay of Fundy & PEI

We're going to make a road trip in a couple of weeks from upstate NY to Cape Cod, and then up to the Bay of Fundy and Prince Edward Island. Any advice would be welcomed, but we could particularly use some advice about the BOF. We need to know what are the best attractions and towns to visit, the best places to see the tides and other scenic views, and if you have any recommendations for restaurants and places to stay. We are planning on staying in moderately priced lodgings ($90-$140/night); and we tend to like simple but good food, served in friendly, interesting and moderately priced restaurants.

Hep my friend plan a trip to PEI

A friend of mine would like advice about her prospective trip to Prince Edward Island. My friend CK and her sister have decided to take a joint family vacation to the Canadian east coast this summer. Going on the trip are: CK and her sister, their respective husbands, and their three children, aged 7, 3, and 3. They will be travelling in a motorhome. They plan to spend most of their time in Nova Scotia, but will be spending 2 days and 2 nights in P.E.I.

CK went to Nova Scotia for her honeymoon six years ago and so she feels she knows how to plan that part of the trip, but she is not at all familiar with P.E.I. She would like advice about campgrounds that accept motorhomes, are kid-friendly, and are preferably oceanside.
She would like suggestions of things to do like good beaches, eateries, lighthouses, historic sites to visit, kid-friendly eateries, things not to miss in Charlottetown, and boat tours. None of the adults drink alcohol, so no need to recommend pubs and the like. CK is also considering taking their bikes along so they could go exploring. They will probably go to Green Gables (how could they not), but will not see the play (CK being something of a Montgomery purist. Don’t ask her for her frank and unvarnished opinion of Road to Avonlea. Actually, don’t ask me, either).

I’ve found this thread about visiting P.E.I. and Nova Scotia, but although it has some good suggestions in it, it isn’t tailored to motorhomes and small children. Any and all advice you consider suitable for such a vacation in P.E.I. is welcome.

A friend and I will be traveling to Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island next week. Any tips on what we must see and must avoid? We have about six days for NS and PEI. We are taking the ferry from Bar Harbor to Yarmouth. In Halifax we are planning to go the Citadel and the Maritime Museum. Also we are doing PEI, Cape Breton Island, Cabot Trail, Louisburg, and the Anne of Green Gables deal. We like historical sites and scenery. Any tips on what to see or avoid will be appreciated.

Also, any general border crossing info or tips from US into Canada welcome. Thank you all.
