Lunar New Year is just around the corner, and to get you into the festive spirit, here's an Asian-inspired seafood recipe! In Chinese culture, the fish represents wealth; the actual word for fish in the Chinese language translates to "abundance"! And so to bring good luck and wealth to the family, during Lunar New Year it's essential for every household to have at least one fish dish. This tasty Ginger Soy Fish recipe can be made with any kind of white fish you have available, and it only takes around 20 minutes to make!

For this week's #FishyFriday: Meet one of our fishermen, Cary! Cary is a 4th generation fisherman from Sointula a small fishing village on Malcolm Island just off Port McNeill on northern Vancouver Island. Although Cary’s 91-year old grandfather, Richard, has passed the business on to his 4 kids, he still runs the fishing business, and the grandfather-grandson team works jointly to make decisions on the fishing end of things. Richard says he feels lucky to have such a knowl...edgeable grandson to help run the business! Cary’s step-grandmother, Ann, is the manager of the business. She started fishing when she was 28 and over the years, she’s seined, trolled, gillnetted for salmon, and also fished live rock cod. Cary and his family and crew fish primarily for hake aboard their 78-foot vessel, Island Sun, and they are one of the few independent hake fishing families on the BC coast! .
