More infoHead south to Steveston, the historic fishing village at the mouth of the Fraser where Richmond stops feeling like Richmond. Start at the Public Fish Sales Float, where you buy salmon, prawns and crab straight from the people who caught them, off the actual boat, a detail that never gets less satisfying to say aloud. Drift the boardwalk past the 1894 Gulf of Georgia Cannery to the fish-and-chips window.
Take the Canada Line plus a bus, or drive south, and start at the wharf's Public Fish Sales Float, salmon, prawns and crab straight off the day's boats. Then drift the flat boardwalk past the 1894 cannery, dip into the shops, and queue at the wharf-side fish-and-chips window. It's a half-day disguised as a stroll, so give it three or four hours and walk out to Garry Point to land it.
