I had fresh oysters in Vancouver at Sutton Place Hotel, and Joe Fortes Seafood and Chop House recently. Very good, very fresh. :)

Try Carderos. They have oysters and it has a great location on the waterfront too. Beats sitting in a hotel.

Where will you be staying once in Vancouver?

 

If staying downtown, consider Granville Island. As an example, the Sandbar is a well know and reputable seafood house. There are other options on Granville Island as well.

 

Also in Vancouver is the boathouse restaurant. They will definitely be able to satisfy your seafood cravings. Both the above are on the water which also adds to the experience.

 

If you'll be staying at an airport hotel in Richmond, consider Steveston. The blue canoe or steveston seafood house are both fine choices. Blue canoe is on the water, while steveston seafood house is not.

 

Local crab season won't have started yet when you're in town, not commercial anyways, while local oysters should be a plenty. Likely you will find most crab selections to be Alaskan king crab, which is tasty to be sure. If you do find dungeness however, it is sweeter meat and much tastier in my opinion.

 

Happy cruising and hope you enjoy your seafood feast.

We actually will just be there for the day. We've got a late flight.
