Best Foods You Should Eat When Visiting BC

British Columbia is a food mecca. Wherever you go, there is always a restaurant or a food stall that will offer you delicious food. But make sure you don’t miss out on the experience of trying food that is representative of BC.

Here are the top foods you would want to try eating while in BC:

1.Wild Spot Prawn


Starting the month of May and the succeeding weeks, wild spot prawn is a popular food option because this is the season when you will find them. This shrimp specie is the largest and boasts of a sweet taste. Vancouver even has a Spot Prawn Festival held annually. You might be able to find them at a waterfront restaurant BC. Some restaurants also specialize in preparing them.

2.Fruits


Summer is the season for peaches in BC. Okanagan has an assortment of stone fruits growing in their orchards. It will be easy to spot them since many farmers set up stands on roadsides for people interested in eating the fruits. There is even a peach festival held in Penticton, so revered are these delicious and juicy fruits. Other fruits you can sample during the summer include cherries, apricots, plums, and nectarines.

3.Oysters


Deep Bay area is a famous spot for oyster farming. If you go to downtown Vancouver, you will surely find restaurants offering fresh oysters. There’s a reason why people keep on coming back for more because these oysters are reported sweeter compared to the Atlantic oysters.

4.Salmon


Another seafood you would want to add to your food radar is the Wild Pacific Salmon that you can find served at a Beautiful waterfront restaurant in BC. It is particularly popular in Victoria because of how abundant they are in the fresh water areas. You can eat them prepared in a multitude of ways but one you might want to try is the candied salmon. You should also watch out for the Powell Street Festival in the summer and look for the grilled salmon they offer there.

If you fail to catch the salmon season, try halibut. They are available from spring until late fall and would taste great grilled, braised, or roasted.

5.BC roll


Have you ever heard of the BC roll? It’s a type of sushi unique to Vancouver. What makes it different from other types of Japanese rolls is that it makes use of barbecued or grilled salmon with a sweet glaze. The skin is left intact so that it lends the dish a crispy texture.

If you are looking for a waterfront restaurant in BC where you can sample the best food that is unique to BC, you might want to check out Painted Boat.
