Our restaurant and lobster pound took a well-deserved break for the winter season to focus on exciting renovations that will elevate your dining experience. One of the highlights is the addition of a brand-new second-level deck for takeout. The deck offers panoramic views of the area, including the iconic Founders Hall. The new deck will be used for takeout customers who wish to dig in while it’s hot and it opened in late June of this year!

These updates will enhance your comfort and our kitchen’s efficiency, ensuring a state-of-the-art space to prepare for a bustling and memorable season ahead. We were thrilled to reopen in May 2025, ready to delight you with the Island’s freshest seafood, stunning views, and the warm hospitality that makes Water Prince Corner Shop so special!

Don’t forget, we have retail seafood available for you to take home to prepare yourself, and we pack seafood for travel. Stay tuned for exciting updates, and we can’t wait to welcome you back with a fresh look including our renovated dining area!

A “Warm Island Welcome” from Shane, Coady, and the Team

You know you’ve arrived when you spot the iconic fisherman’s boots perched upside down outside our front door. It’s a tradition, and so is our commitment to quality and service!

Owned and operated by proud Islander Shane Campbell and his family for over 35 years, Water Prince Corner Shop is your trusted destination for the Island’s freshest seafood. Shane and his son Coady personally select the catch from PEI’s local wharves and fishermen, ensuring only the best makes it to their lobster pound and, to your plate.

Reviews

  • When locals want seafood they head to this inconspicuous, sea-blue eatery near the wharf. It is deservedly famous for its scallop burgers, but it’s also the best place in town for fresh lobster. You’ll probably have to line up for a seat, otherwise order take-out lobster, which gets you a significant discount.

    Lonely Planet

  • This place is a real find tucked into an attractive corner building at Water and Prince Streets….it looks at first glace like a simple newsstand or a convenience Shop. Inside though, you’ll find one of the city’s most convivial seafood joints, serving lobster dinners, superb seafood chowder, cooked mussels, and even lobster rolls to an appreciative mixture of tourists and locals. There’s a liquor license if you want to tip a few (and you might). If the weather’s good try and get a seat on the street near sundown. You can see the waterfront from some tables. Reservations are helpful.
