Herring Choker Deli

09/30/2026

We are open today 9 am- 5 pm. We acknowledge we are on Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’ kmaq people. Here at the Herring Choker we simply wouldn’t be in our 32nd year of business without the support of the indigenous communities on this island!
Wela’lioq!

We are excited to announce, our new laundry room is now available, thank you for your patience!!
When using the laundry room please use the entrance on the west side of the building with the ramp. The cost is $4.50/wash and takes 29 minutes and $4.50/dry gives 45 minutes. We ask you please be considerate of people with scent allergies and not use products like scent beads. We have to offer scent free “Down East” laundry soap for sale and while supplies last we will give a free sample of soap if you’re interested in trying it out!
Special thanks to Robert Osborne for all his hard work, making this happen!
Laundromat will be open same days and hours as the Herring Choker.
