Dining on a Boat at Steveston Harbour While Eating Lobster! 🦞
📍 The Crab King – A hidden gem seafood spot literally on a boat at Steveston Harbour. Tiny, unassuming, and easy to miss... but oh-so-worth-it! Originally, I wanted to try the famous "Golden Sand Rice Cake" at Timmy Kitchen (thanks, Xiaohongshu recs!), but it was closed. Then we aimed for the viral lobster pizza place, but the line stretched all the way to the street. 😩 Just as hunger was hitting hard, we saw a group of loud, laughing Cantonese grandmas marching straight into this little boat restaurant. My thought? "If grandmas approve, it’s gotta be good." So we followed. And wow—zero regrets! 🍽️ What we ordered: 🦞 Garlic Butter Lobster Platter The entire lobster smothered in garlic butter—succulent, bouncy meat, with just the right amount of richness. The real star? The curry-flavored vermicelli hiding underneath, soaked in lobster juices. UNREAL. 🤯 🦪 Grilled Oysters Hot, plump, zero fishiness—just pure, briny goodness with a smoky finish. Instantly memorable. 📦 Portions? Massive. We struggled to finish between two people. Wanted to try the Dungeness crab too, but after the lobster and oysters... no chance. 😂 🔧 Bonus: They give you proper crab tools, making it feel like unwrapping a seafood gift! — 🌊 The vibe? Next-level. Eating on an actual boat, with harbor breezes, water right beneath your feet, and occasional fish sightings through the windows. Golden-hour sunlight streaming in—straight out of a movie. Perfect for a leisurely lunch—no rush, no noise, just pure coastal serenity. 🍇 Post-meal tip: Walk along the pier to find wild blackberries! Tart, not fully ripe, but the ideal palate cleanser—like a sweet little epilogue to the meal. #VancouverEats #StevestonEats #StevestonHarbour #CanadaTravel #HiddenGems #SeafoodLovers #LobsterNoodles
