On March 8th, I attended the 11th annual BC Shellfish & Seafood Festival and BC Seafood Expo launch event. The event kicked off with a Fanny Bay Oyster Bar Tour and then over to The Lobster Man and the Vancouver Fish Company for ten outstanding plates and wine.

The Launch event at the Vancouver Fish Company brought over 250 seafood industry leaders, Consul General representatives, media and other VIPS to network and sample delicious British Columbia seafood prepared by some of BC’s top chefs!

Here are some highlights from the launch:
