Today's adventure brought us to the historic fishing village of Steveston cradled in a corner of Richmond, BC where the mighty Fraser River and the Pacific Ocean meet. Today it's home to the largest commercial fishing fleet in Canada, two National Historic Sites and more.

The Gulf of Georgia Cannery initially opened in the 1800's and is one of the few remaining 19th century salmon canneries along the Pacific Coast. In its heyday, the cannery was the largest building of its kind and the leading producer of canned salmon in British Columbia. Now its a fishing museum with interactive exhibits and working machinery.

A real fisherman's wharf where you can check out the fishing boats, go whale watching and try your hand at deep-sea fishing.

We had lunch at Mandalay Lounge and Steakhouse, yes, I said steakhouse. They also have seafood :)

We started with a delicious POST OFFICE ARTICHOKES PARMESAN AND SWISS CHEESE POCKETS WITH A MALAY CILANTRO SALSA - in house fresh philo pastry parcels with sweet chili and a lemon & lime cilantro salsa. Sorry no picture but it was fantastic!

Entree: THAI RED MANDALAY SEAFOOD CURRY RICE BOWL - seared scallops and prawns, a trilogy of peppers, onions in a spicy Thai red coconut curry sauce on jasmine rice. A perfect amount of spiciness coupled with the long lasting deliciousness of curry. I think I was Indian in a past life; I love curry!

And let us not forget dessert! CREME BRULEE

After lunch we wandered around the shops and along the seaside boardwalk.

This evening we headed back into downtown Vancouver for another stop at the Olympic Torch and a wee bit of wandering.

One more photo of the Olympic Torch, if you look close enough you can see the Olympic Rings as well.
