Located just a stone's throw away from Garry Point Park, the fisherman's wharf offers a delightful stroll along the promenade up to the restaurant patio, providing a perfect setting to relax and bask in the rejuvenating sea breeze.
The take-home fresh spot prawn is the star of the show, and for good reason. It's one of the best varieties, with a crispier, firmer texture and a superior taste. Its popularity is evident as people eagerly line up to purchase a pound or more, making it a must-try for seafood enthusiasts.
The good thing about the fishing industry in Canada is that the Government actively regulates product quality, public health, and safety. The fishermen can only sell a specific variety of seafood they're licensed to harvest. They need to hold and display a license on their stall and display a whiteboard that lists the species they're selling, the area of harvest, and the name of the vessel used for harvesting. That information safeguards the public that they only sell the highest quality products at the fish sales float.
A visit to Steveston Harbour celebrates reviving the fishing industry and supporting local fishermen in British Columbia. This place has plenty of marine life, vendors selling the highest quality products, and abides by the fishing industry's laws and regulations.
