Because Vancouver is close to the ocean and rich in marine resources, most of the ingredients are fresh seafood specialties. The delicacies to eat here include roasted squab, Alaskan crab, lobster, mussels, crab, grouper, etc. I especially recommend the salmon here, it’s very delicious.

1. Elephant mussel

It is called "elephant mussel" due to its huge red fleshy tube. The locals don't eat clams, so the clams grow well. However, since Asian immigrants began to prey on North American mussels, the native mussels have become endangered.

2. Grilled salmon

Grilled salmon with poplar branches and salmon fillets. Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, retaining the umami flavor of the salmon itself.

3. Alaska crab

The Alaska crab lives in the frozen Arctic Ocean. It is sweet and fresh. It is the best crab and can be called the king of crabs. It takes a long time for an Alaskan crab to turn into an edible adult, and it cannot be farmed in captivity. Alaska crab is sold for its huge legs, which are rich in taurine and chitin, which is why it's expensive.

4. Grouper

Grouper is rich in nutrients and is a high-quality edible fish with low fat and high protein. The meat is tender and white, similar to chicken, and is known as "Chicken of the Sea". It also has high medicinal value and has the effect of promoting blood circulation and unblocking meridians.
