On a recent trip to Vancouver I met Steve and Frank, hardcore grass-root fishermen. I went on their spot prawn boat and listened to them talk about sustainably harvested seafoods, and stories of sea lice on our coasts and dead wastelands in Asia as a result of shrimp farming. It’s exciting to have the capacity to make impactful choices. It’s very exciting to be able to have access to their products. Having that direct contact with a fisherman or a farmer is so important, the most important! — New on the menu in 2010 What’s hot? What’s not? Chefs weigh in, Ron Eade, The Ottawa Citizen
Steve was instrumental in helping with my dream, and in collaboration with the Chefs’ Table Society of B.C., successfully launched our annual spot prawn festival. Now, also a spot prawn fisherman, Steve and his buddy Frank supply Vancouver with super fresh spot prawns with our first truly day boat fishery that is available for retail down on Fisherman’s Wharf. — Executive Chef Robert Clark, C Restaurant
