The coastal cities of Vancouver and Richmond are known for their fresh seafood and, of course, wild BC salmon. I’m a huge fan of fish and am quite excited to hear about the first annual Wild BC Seafood Festival this year.
Happening on August 30, 2008, the festival takes place at the Steveston Harbour Authority Fisherman’s Park (in front of the Gulf of Georgia Cannery National Historic Site, 12138 Fourth Avenue). This is in Steveston, Richmond and will feature wild BC salmon, sablefish and sardines.
There will be demonstrations of recipes, tips on buying seafood, storing, preparing and eating it. Most importantly, there will be samples to try and recipes to take home and replicate.
Guest chefs include: Jeff Van Geest (Executive Chef/Owner of Aurora Bistro, Vancouver, BC), Manuel Ferreira (Owner of Le Gavroche and Senova Restaurants, Vancouver, BC), and Stephen Wong (Vancouver journalist, food and beverage consultant and cookbook author).
It looks like there will also be kids’ activities and live entertainment by Richmond’s Darren Specht and the Blueshawks.
