Seafood Platter

✦

Alberta is a long way from the ocean, so where the fish comes from matters more here, not less. We buy from two Edmonton fishmongers who can tell us where each piece was caught and how, and build the platter in our kitchen in Fort Assiniboine. It is made for sharing on Friday nights, and the price per person comes down as more of the table joins in.

Where the seafood comes from

Ocean Odyssey Inland, west Edmonton. A family fish shop that began at Edmonton farmers' markets in 2001, selling wild fish from BC fishermen. They know where every fish was caught and how, which is why we buy from them.

Catch of the Week, Capilano, Edmonton. Known around the city for fresh fish and the hard-to-find things other counters don't carry.

Ingredients change with the season and what’s freshest.
