Fanny Bay Oysters has opened a true tide-to-table oyster bar and shellfish market in the heart of Downtown Vancouver’s Stadium District. Located at 762 Cambie Street (near B.C. Place Stadium), the new restaurant offers seating for 50 — including 16 at its oyster bar — for lunch, dinner and weekend brunch service as well as a full bar and happy hour specials, and will be an Ocean Wise-certified partner.
A fully integrated BC shellfish farming and exporting company that has been growing and harvesting fresh oysters, clams and mussels for more than 30 years, Fanny Bay Oysters is part of the Taylor Shellfish Family of Farms that operates three eponymous oyster bars in Seattle, WA. The largest producer of shellfish in Canada, Fanny Bay also operates a seafood shop at the Buckley Bay ferry landing on Vancouver Island.
The space harbours a shellfish market where patrons can select from a bounty of fresh-caught, take-home catches such as live, shucked, fresh and frozen oysters, clams, mussels, scallops, shrimp and prawns.
Attendees at the media event indulged in a variety of tasty delights including freshly shucked oysters; fried oysters; prawns with cocktail sauce; cod, shrimp and scallop ceviche; beer battered ling cod; mini crab cakes, seared scallops and pork belly; Manila clams; Thai coconut mussels; and smoked salmon canapes. Here are a few photos from the event.
