Salmon farming made a big entry into British Columbia in the 1980s. The culture practices were imported across the Atlantic, principally from Norway and Scotland, and the preference for a specific type of salmon, atlantic salmon, was adopted lock-stock-and barrel. One farm in Tofino opted to stay with an indigenous (native to the place) specie of the locality, the chinook salmon, commercially named in the USA as King Salmon and in Canada as Spring Salmon. . .

The Capilano River in the North Shore of the Greater Vancouver Region is home to a group of coho salmon. The river is fed upstream and starts at the foothills of the Lions' Head mountain. The waters of the Capilano are so clear and clean and safe that they have been deemed drinkable by a thirsty human population in the growing urban sprawl of the Lower Mainland. . . .

What with be more convenient when shopping for fish than a place like Granville Island in Vancouver, BC where you will find four fish shops within a stone's throw of each other. In fact, three are found under the same roof of the Granville Island public market: Seafood City, Long Liner Seafoods and Salmon Shop. The fourth one, Lobster Man, is located in another building. If you are interested in smoked salmon, there is a fifth shop, Granville Island Smokery, that is just right beside the Lobster Man. . . Fish Shops at Granville Island video
Located in Richmond city in the greater Vancouver region, the Steveston Fisherman's Wharf draws a good crowd on weekends. Several fishing boats dock on the pier and sell fish catch of the week. Last Saturday, April 7, 2007, the cold rainy day did not deter me from finding out what fish is available in the market. Three boats were selling live lemon sole fish about the size of a paper plate. The fish were kept alive in aerated tanks on the boats. . . Steveston Fisherman's Market
Anyone who had a chance to visit the 2007 Boston Seafood Show (March 11-13, 2007) would leave the place running to the nearest gourmet seafood restaurant asking to dine on the best seafood dish that can be offered. There was an explosion of colors as fishes from cold and warm waters were hauled in to enhanced the display of processed items. . . Images from the 2007 Boston Seafood Show
