Granville Island and Seafood Supper

On our last full day in Vancouver, we were itching to do some shopping. A quick Google search and at the recommendation of mom, we decided to go to Granville Island. We definitely scratched the shopping itch here. We visited the public market, which was packed with people. I had a clam chowder pot pie, which was amazing . We had a couple fruit tarts through the day and a box of local fruit.
We took the kids to the Kids Market where they played arcade games. Ari Harper and Onyx played on the bumper cars. Also, Harper and Onyx played on the massive indoor play structure. It was a good place for the kids to get rid of some energy since shopping in stores wasn't exactly thrilling for them.
We finished our Granville Island experience picking up seafood for supper that night. We walked down Fisherman's Wharf hoping to find some seafood caught that day. Unfortunately, everything we saw was frozen. There was a woman who informed us if we needed seafood for supper this evening, we should head back onto Granville Island to rhe public market to get food from Seafood City. With the help of the employees there, we got 2 big dungeness crabs, fresh scallops, argentine prawns. I also crabbed some smoked candied salmon which was amazing.
Headed back to the campsite and put our supper on ice so we could make our booking for the Capilano Suspension Bridge. This will be a separate entry. But I'll skip ahead to just mention our supper. I've never had fresh shellfish, and this was probably the best shellfish I've ever had. The crabs were so meaty and melted in your mouth. I also loved the scallops. I'm glad we got to experience fresh seafood on this day.
I just have one video to upload since my phone was on lower power most of the day. Whoops!Read more
