A great find...Fresh St. Market in West Van

 Fish and chips at Dunderave Fish Market and Red Truck...first time we've seen the glasses.

 Absolutely the most amazing place...I'll mainly be shopping here from now on.  Wonderful selection...good prices.  And live lobster and crab that can be cooked fresh or they have some made up from the morning...brought a crab home of course.  I've been missing that.


 Cool display.

 Haven't seen such a large duck selection since France.

 Every type of mushroom.

Lots of exotic meats.


 Loads of dry sausage and other deli meats.

Fish and shellfish selection is amazing.

Then to The British Butcher...got pork and apple and stilton and leek sausage.


Wonderful selections of bacons as well and white and black pudding...


A review:

 I had no idea what to expect. I found the whole layout and food selection was geared to high-end taste. Gleaming displays featured foods from all over the world. I was expecting elevated prices, but I was amazed to find the prices were comparable to stores of a far lower quality. The staff was a delightful group who obviously loved working there. I noticed a bin by the door that was full of umbrellas----a courtesy for the people who might have left home without one.They also have a self-serve coffee shop; you pay for your delicious coffee by making a voluntary donation to a local charity. The next time you are in West Van, treat yourself and discover a company that is doing things the right way. The store’s name is,’ Fresh St. Market,’ .
