Beautiful and quaint jetty for the many
seafood restaurants and fishing boats .

Boats at the Fishermen's wharf and fresh seafood market at the jetty .
Rescue boat on standby .

Freshly caught seafood for sale - direct from the fishermen's boat .

The fish are deep freeze to minus 4o deg to stay fresh ,
good for sashimi .

All for sale the week's catch - in season
some of the flounders ( sole fish ) are live .

Beautiful red snapper - great for fish head curry .

Fresh salmon ( excuse the pink color it's due to my faulty camera )
- it is caught in the ocean and called the wild salmon ( not bred in the sea ) .
The salmon do turn red when they are spawning - not good for eating then .

The fishes are fresh and sold at a good price

This boat sells Sea Urchins - yes live sea urchins

Children are fascinated and curious - enjoys touching the live sea urchins .

Underside ( mouth ) of the pink sea urchin .

Beautiful pink sea urchin - great to enjoy it raw
if you enjoy eating Japanese ( urni ) style .

It is the season for crabs

Lovely and delicious crabs - all caught from the sea ( not mud crabs )
- it is sold at C$9 each crab about 2 lbs .

It is also the season for sea prawns.

Beautiful and fresh prawns .

Was C$10 for 3 lbs ( last year ) now C$5 per lb !

Smaller fresh prawns for C$4 per lb.

Pajos floating Fish n Chip shop - great place for fast seafood .

Comments ;-

Stevenson village is well known as one of the Fishing ports and Sea Food processing area in Vancouver.

The grand old days of Sea Food processing is over but the harbor and jetty now serve as a leisurely place for sea food and sea food market .

The many restaurants serve good Seafood and fine dining and Pajos floating platform serves the best fish n chips.

It is now a great place for the Tourists and the locals as well .
