Fisherman’s Wharf at Steveston

Recently, I saw from TV and read from Wikipedia about the Fisherman’s Wharf at Steveston, Richmond, Vancouver. What’s more I learn from is a clip of this wharf from You-tube.

These are what I observe about this wharf:

[1] The wharf here really facilitates the fishermen who bring home their catches from the sea, fish or prawns or lobsters.

[2] There is a long bridge linking the street level to a very long parking platform where fishing can park alongside and fresh sea food is sold there directly into the hands of the tourists or buyers or housewives.

[3] On the shore, there are big restaurants, obviously serving mainly sea food.
[4] Some of the boats, not stream-lined, looking like old toys floating in the water. I guess they still work. Time cannot change their look or uses.

[5] Among the fish sold, dogfish is the cheapest, C$1 per lb., while Halibut is the dearest, C$7 per lb. If I were a buyer, I prefer C$4 to 5 fish.

[6] Prawns that are sold here are bright orange to red in colour. Tourists or buyers can have free tries. How generous are the fishmongers.










[7] There are three flags at the wharf. The tallest is the Canadian flag. One looks like the Japanese flag with a big red circle in the centre. I think it is the flag representing this wharf. The last flag may belong to the fishery union at Steveston.
