On Sunday, September 20th, the dream of visiting the famous Fisherman’s Wharf in Vancouver came true. Philip drove us to the south-west corner of Richmond, which was at the delta of Fraser River.Steveston is a fishing port where quite a number of fishing boats, speed boats and launches anchored.
People gathered here are mostly tourists or local people. The fishermen were busy selling their catches of fishes, prawns and even octopuses. No fishing activities could been seen, but eating sea food or sipping coffee leisurely.
We lunched at Pajos, a floating fast food fish and chips shop linked with the shore with a narrow slanting footbridge. Halibut, Cod and Salmon were fishes we chose. We could not exclude other food such as potato chips, crab cakes, seafood chowder, salad and drinks. The chowder was thick and the potatoes were not outstanding. The salad and fish were nice to eat, but their sizes were not big enough for our satisfaction. I could only rank them all as dear food (C$13 something for 3 pieces of fish meat).

It is a nice port. The fish meat is expensive but we hope it is fresh to compensate for the price.
When we first came to Australia, we thought fish would be cheap here because it is the biggest island in the world, all surrounded by water. How wrong we were, not only that fish was expensive, it is getting more and more expensive!
Yes, food at Fisherman's Wharf is expensive. It's relatively cheaper if you dine in its nearby towns. But in general, fish in Canada is expensive including salmon (which is supposed to be abundance in British Columbia). I think it's because most fish and shells are for export to other countries.
