After a steadfast three year battle with cancer, she passed at 17 years old, just a few days before the inaugural event in December 2011.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Event spokesperson and BC fisherman, Harvey Gifford says \u201cthe first annual herring sale attracted overwhelming support by from a broad cross-section of the commercial fishing industry. Fishermen, processors and many industry and community services and suppliers stepped up to volunteer, sponsor and donate. Ladner fisherman Randy Reifel donated the vessel <em>MV Prosperity<\/em>, fuel and licence and Steveston Seafood Auction donated the plant facilities and crew. In fact, all the costs big and small were donated by generous industry and community folks so we can proudly say that 100% of proceeds go to BC Children\u2019s Hospital. Our goal was to raise $25,000. The herring sale and donations end up just shy of $60,000. This success compelled us to make it an annual event.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This year the <em>MV Prosperity<\/em> expects to harvest 50 tonnes of herring from the nearby waters of the Gulf of Georgia and deliver this wonderfully fresh and delicious fish to the dock for sale at $10 for a 20lb bag of herring.\u00a0 Or customers can bring their own 5 gallon bucket. There will be live music and friendly volunteers to help customers to their cars.<\/p>\n<p>Pacific herring are beautiful fin fish with bluish green colouration on their backs and shiny silver sides and bellies.\u00a0 They average 18 cm (7 inches) long and 110 g (1\/4 lb) each.\u00a0 Their soft, off-white flesh with high oil content offers a wonderful full flavour and lends itself perfectly to many preparations including pickling, smoking, canning and salting. <em><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>F<\/em>or those who wish to support the cause but aren\u2019t able to make it to the sale, contributions can
