............................or Yamato Trading, which is like two blocks away. They are wholesale, but also sell to the public. Their white albacore tuna come whole, quartered, or ready to go. All frozen like they're supposed to be. I'm not 100% sure about the availability of salmon, but the owners have ties to the local fishing community (Campbell River), so I imagine they do. These people are importers and supply the local restaurants and other retailers with Japanese food and sundries.
1050 Parker Street
Tel: 604-253-5022
Not open Sunday and have limited hours, so phone first. They are not full retail, so don't go in there all Fobby. Be cool and expect slow service. Their customer base, other than wholesale, is the local Japanese community.
