Vancouver fish markets – Steveston & Granville – which is better?

We learned about the Fisherman Warf fish market in Steveston almost as soon as we arrived in Vancouver – it’s a pretty busy place. However, it took us about three months to get there. What is it? They sell from fishing boats right on the wharf.

The market is located just south of Richmond. If you live there, I’m sure you’d have an idea an idea of how to get there. But for the uninformed, let me explain. You have to keep south on highway 99 and then turn right onto the Steveston highway. Steveston, well, and drive actually to the end, but it is better to check the map.

In the summer, the market is open every day, but starting in October, it’s only open Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Parking has never been a problem.

If there is no space in the usual parking lots, feel free to park at some restaurant – they won’t be able to pull your car away in the half an hour you’ll be there. in the half hour you’re there.

So, now go to the market and look, but do not hurry to buy. You’ll see there are no more than five or seven ships. Yeah… That’s not so dense, I can’t help it. As one fisherman explained to me, many of his colleagues prefer to ship their goods (fish and shrimp) to wholesale bases so as not to get involved with retail trade.

Nevertheless, there are those who prefer to deliver fish directly to the consumer, i.e. to the market. There and socialize with people can be and trade in pleasure!

What kind of fish is on the market? First of all salmon and tuna, then flounder and trout. There are some other varieties, but I only know what they’re called in Japanese… Of course, there’s a lot of shrimp, both fresh and frozen. Fish, as you realize, is caught at different times of the year. For example, the same salmon is of five kinds – Chinook, Chum, Coho, Pink, Sockeye, and there’s a season for each. Nah, I’m lying. I just remembered that, uh. In Hokkaido (Japan), when I visited a salmon museum, I learned that there are as many as 500 varieties of salmon; strangely enough, even trout belongs to their category.

The Steveston market has lots of Sockeye & Pink salmon. If you arrive on Saturday or Sunday by closing time, i.e. 5 o’clock, you can buy a whole big salmon for only $8-10 dollars. Grill some of it, stew it, make a fish sauce or cook it in any other way, and pickle the rest.
