Celebrate BC Seafood In The Comox Valley<\/h2>\n

Michael and I love heading over to the Island to get a family visit in with his Mom and Dad and inevitably end up getting our fair share of seafood on our journey; but is there ever enough? If we time it right, however, we can make sure we certainly get a ton of oysters, if nothing else, by hitting up the BC Seafood Festival<\/a> <\/strong>in June.<\/p>\n

\"BC<\/a><\/p>\n

When I first started going to this seafood festival, maybe a decade ago or so, there was just a few events, and it has now blossomed into a full two weeks of non-stop oyster shucking, cooking demos and seafood feasts. Last year we caught a few of the events and wished we’d planned ahead and bought tickets for more, but they sold out so quickly.<\/p>\n

\"Outlander<\/a><\/p>\n

We were lucky enough to be testing out the Mitsubishi\u00a0Outlander PHEV<\/a><\/strong>, on our road trip one of the best vehicles we’ve driven as it had all sorts of room for all our luggage, drove like a dream and only needed one tank of gas the whole time as we could charge it up electrically.<\/p>\n

Michael and I stayed at the Kingfisher Resort and Spa<\/a><\/strong>, always a treat, and as our friend Dawn Schultz was the Food and Beverage Manager last year, we made sure we had time in a visit, sip a few of the cocktails, trysome appies and also had breakfast at the resort in the morning. She’s since moved to Locals in Courtenay<\/a>,<\/strong> another spot we love to frequent.<\/p>\n

Aqua, at the Kingfisher, is a gorgeous oceanside spot to dine at, and if you have time you should check into the spa and try the Hydropath walk through hot and cold baths and caves; very special.<\/p>\n

\"Shucker<\/a><\/p>\n

\"BC<\/a><\/p>\n

We got there on Friday, just in time to catch the kick off, a Happy Hour Oyster Feast that showcases BC oysters, and where you can meet Shucker Paddy, a Guinness Book of World Record oyster shucker. This year\u00a0Shucked! will be held Friday, June 14, 3:30 \u2013 6:00 pm with oyster producers to be announced.<\/p>\n
