What is a West Coast Thanksgiving? What foods are part of our local harvest and culture? My girlfriend and I cooked a dinner for my parents. We invited our dragon boat friend and team member who moved to Vancouver from Thunder Bay, Ontario. Turkey was familiar to him, but not a fully dressed salmon for Thanksgiving dinner. The salmon was caught up north near Haida Gwaii, and flash frozen. I bought it from a boat at Steveston's "Fisherman's Wharf." Go see Tony, on the Blue ?? and tell him Todd sent you. We shredded cranberries to make a fresh salsa with local BC hot house red and yellow peppers. I added in frozen blueberries and raspberries for sweetness. Mixed in with jalapeno pepper, red onion and cilantro, we continued to tweak it. This is a great appetizer served with chips for munching.   more »
