Point the car south to Steveston (or take the Canada Line and a bus, the effort is identical) to find the historic fishing village at the mouth of the Fraser where Richmond suddenly stops feeling like Richmond. The move is to start at the wharf, where the Public Fish Sales Float lets you buy salmon, prawns and crab directly from the people who caught them that morning. Off the actual boat. That detail never gets less satisfying to say out loud. From there, drift the flat boardwalk past the 1894 Gulf of Georgia Cannery, poke into the independent shops, and eventually join the cheerful queue at the wharf-side fish-and-chips window. Nobody here is in a hurry. Nowhere here is trying too hard. It's a full, delightful afternoon disguised as a very relaxed stroll.
