The Sentinel is proud to serve up news on Richmond's unique and interesting dining options. If you own a restaurant or other food establishment, and would like to be featured, feel free to contact us at newsroom@richmondsentinel.ca
How long have you been in business, and what is your restaurant’s history?
Sockeye City Grill opened its doors in 2002, under the leadership of its founding owners/operators, Werner and Rosemary Eller and Larry and Ann-Mary Biggar. They purchased an existing restaurant, Dave’s at Steveston Landing, which was only serving fish and chips, extended its menu to a full scale seafood restaurant, and reopened it under the name Sockeye City Grill. In 2017, the owners decided to retire and sold their restaurant to Luis Almonte and Jean-François Gagnon, the current owners.
What’s special or unique about your restaurant?
The quality and variety of the food selection at Sockeye City. Our menu features fresh products, line caught local fish and handmade dishes. The friendliness of our staff and the amazing view of the Fraser River are also unique aspects to consider when choosing a place to eat in Steveston.
What’s your specialty or best-selling item?
Our specialty is fish and chips, as roughly half our sales add up to cod, salmon, halibut and prawn and chips. Sockeye City also specializes in grilling salmon and halibut and steaming live lobsters and crabs.
Do you have any new menu items?
We periodically revisit our menu offering by inserting items by popular demand: the addition of fish tacos and chicken wings shows to be pleasing our regular clientele.
What’s your favourite item on the menu?
There are many items on the menu that we enjoy having, but personally, the halibut and chips is my favourite item on the menu; I also enjoy our grilled sockeye salmon.
Jean-François Gagnon is co-owner of Sockeye City Grill, located at 108-3800 Bayview St. For more information, visit sockeyecitygrill.com or call 604-275-6790.
