Public Fish Sales Float

Great place to get local fish. At this time of year, all of their product is frozen, but it was flash frozen and packaged at the time it was harvested meaning it is probably fresher than anything you purchase ‘fresh’ that hasn’t been frozen.
We’ve had several of the products from here as recently as two weeks ago when we walked down there for an adventure to pick up some shrimp and some jerked salmon jerky. Yes that’s right, Jerked Salmon Jerky. YUM. We ate the entire package in one afternoon.
The shrimp comes frozen in a bed of ice and needs some time to thaw. But once it is thawed, it’s great quality and wonderful in any seafood dish or simply as part of a shrimp cocktail with seafood sauce. This is how we enjoyed our last batch of shrimp.
Also available is salmon and assorted white fish. If you enjoy fish and/​or seafood it is worth visiting the docks and getting something local.

The Public Fish Sales Float along the south seawall, immediately in front of the little Go Fish restaurant, offers fish directly from the boats. It’s a great way to help the fishermen cut out the middlemen and maximize their profit. I find the prices less expensive than grocery stores. Cash only; nearest bank machine is on Granville Island.
It’s located at the north end of First Avenue where it meets the south shore of False Creek, near Granville Island.
There’s also the fun factor: make it a part of a seawall walk & stop at Granville Island Market along the way for your other dinner fixings.
