Ice-Cold Pacific Oysters Vancouver has unbelievably fresh seafood year-round, but during the fall and winter, BC oysters are especially plump and delicious. Celebrate these succulent bivalves at the annual Clayoquot Oyster Festival, where shellfish lovers can tip back freshly shucked oysters at seminars, special tasting events, oyster farm tours and more. If you can’t make it to the event, just find a nearby seafood restaurant in Vancouver for a fresh plate of ice-cold shellfish.
