I lived in Japan in the past and fell in love with the incredibly fresh seafood available. I was in a small suburb, yet even the neighborhood grocery stores had the freshest fish I've ever seen: clear eyes, radiant undamaged skin, and vibrant gills. All of it was reasonably priced, and much of it was cheaper than chicken.

Now I'm residing between Lougheed and Brentwood malls in North Burnaby. I know nothing about where to buy inexpensive fresh seafood outside of Vancouver or Steveston.

I visit H-Mart where they have a decent variety of fish and it can be a good deal if priced on weekly specials, but often the fish can be damaged or old.

Are there any small seafood shops in the area that people have experience with? Care to elaborate on the freshness and dollar value? In particular:

Regent Fish Market (Hastings, Burnaby Heights)
The Daily Catch (Commercial Dr)
Wheelhouse Seafoods (Hastings, Vancouver)
