Victoria Taste
The owner Bob Fraumeni and partner Paul Chaddock treated us to a tour of their plant and store but the real highlight was being able to watch the off loading of a halibut boat at Fisherman's Wharf. They usually off load in Prince Rupert so this was a very special occasion and an amazing experience. And we got to taste all their smoked products...wow!
We learned a lot about the current fishery and I was very impressed with the commitment that Finest at Sea has in terms of freshness and participating in a sustainable fishery. Their products are excellent and they supply many of the best restaurants in Victoria including the Hotel Grand Pacific. Elaine and I always order the seafood special if there is one offered on our Wednesday lunches so we can attest to the quality.
