Steveston Harbour — Attraction in Richmond

Absolutely love this place. I just recently moved to Richmond with my girlfriend and we live about 5 minutes from the harbour but it is by far one of my favorite places in Vancouver.

Only two ladies at the fish market braved the VERY cold weather and when we walked through the village later to get a bite, there was very little open, disappointingly.
