Vancouver, BC | Fanny Bay Oyster Bar & Shellfish Market is freshening up its fresh sheet for spring and introducing a new collection of creative cocktails and seafood features now available at the Downtown tide-to-table dining destination (762 Cambie St.).

Chef Tommy Shorthouse has hauled in a net brimming with a bounty of BC’s fresh catches for an array of new dishes that include a show-stopping, create-your-own ‘Seacuterie’ Board that offers a choice of three or five appetizers (4 piece Jumbo Prawn Cocktail, Smoked Scallops, Smoked Albacore Tuna Crudo, Smoked Ekone Mussels, Sliced Smoked Steelhead Trout) served with house-made salt and vinegar chips, wonton crisps, grilled sourdough and house pickles.

Other marquee items on the new menu include a West Coast Seafood Boil (mussels, clams, pink scallops, prawns, half Dungeness crab, corn, peppers, Andouille sausage, potatoes, spiced Cajun broth); Paella for Two (BC pink scallops, prawns, octopus, mussels and clams, chorizo, saffron rice); ‘Crab-onara’ (house-made kelp pasta, smoked scallops, Dungeness crab meat, trout roe, vin blanc); Lobster Poutine (Atlantic lobster, lobster bisque gravy, cheese curds, chives); and a Lemon Fruit Tart (vanilla tart, lemon curd, seasonal fruit, mint, lemon meringue drops, candied lemon) as a sweet finishing note.
