“Shellfish has always been a holiday tradition on the West Coast, especially in our family. For me, the holidays are time to enjoy a cup of my grandmother’s oyster stew or slurp back as many fresh oysters as possible prior to ringing in the new year,” says Fanny Bay Oyster Bar & Shellfish Market Co-Owner and Wholesale/Marketing Manager Malindi Taylor. “Every family has their own amazing recipes that make our shellfish shine, and we love getting to hear how it has been the centrepiece of festive feasts as families and friends gather together at this time of year.”
