Wharf

And at the low-end of dining, Red Fish Blue Fish, situated in a shipping crate on the docks is by far the best food in a hurray around Victoria (though they have a location in Vancouver too). Serving generous portions of fish and chips, salmon or oyster sandwiches, and my favorite — Edamame Tacones.

I had never heard of mushy peas before but I love them. They came along side my bangers & mash at Old Irish Times and I couldn’t pass up trying the edamame version on offer at Red Fish Blue Fish. Stuffed into a tortilla with bean sprouts, lemon-pickled onions and chili adobo, mushy edamame is basically cooked edamame, mashed with butter, cream, salt and pepper. I’m sure Red Fish Blue Fish had there own variation, but they are so yummy.

The architectural notion of the little restaurant also fascinated me. I have seen plenty of articles in the architecture press describing residential uses for standardized shipping crates, those things you see stacked two high on trains. But this was a first in person encounter for me. It is a must see (and eat!) in Victoria.
