May 23: Cannery row



Vancouverites are making the most of this rare sunny hockey free day. We inadvertently do the same. We visit Steveston’s fishing village. Thirty years ago, I'd bike here between school and home to enjoy this real life Japanese fishing village replete with boats next to the cannery. Today, it is a bona fide tourist attraction, complete with a National Historic Site designation. Despite the throngs, the charm exudes through. I search for a good salmon meal for Dad. This is the easy part. The vegie option, on the other hand, is nigh impossible.


We celebrate my great aunt’s birthday 4 months late, making up for a postponed meal while Dad was sick. Great excuse to eat a good meal at Red Star and finish off with a chestnut cream cake.

  1. Nice to see that Vancouver has its own version of Cannery Row.
