Talk about Slow Food : container ships could replace jets as the preferred means of transporting Maritime lobster to European markets, thanks to recently-developed technology

Bon Voyage: Lobster is the region's most valuable seafood export, and it's enjoyed all over the world, from the United Kingdom to Korea. When lobster from Atlantic Canada goes overseas, it usually takes a jet plane. It's packed in boxes in the hold, and within a day, arrives fresh and lively at its destination.
But a technology developed in Europe by Aqualife will now allow live lobsters to be shipped in ocean containers for trips that can last weeks.
Recently, the first two containers left Halifax bound for the Netherlands. Freelance reporter Shaina Luck travelled to East Jeddore in Nova Scotia to bid them goodbye.
