18 2011 <strong>Comox</strong> <strong>Valley</strong> Growers Guide<br />
TASTE THE<br />
More than 50 percent of all farmed oysters, mussels, scallops and<br />
clams in BC come from the pristine ocean environment of Baynes<br />
Sound in <strong>Comox</strong> <strong>Valley</strong> south. Look for world renown producers<br />
like Fanny Bay Oysters and Mac’s Oysters, both on the Vancouver<br />
Aquarium’s highly respected list of sustainable Ocean Wise suppliers.<br />
Restaurants throughout the <strong>Comox</strong> <strong>Valley</strong> boast fresh from the sea<br />
specials, changing with the season. Each year, BC shellfish farmers<br />
celebrate the bounty of BC with provincial chefs, food producers<br />
and winemakers during the BC Shellfish Festival in June. Anytime of<br />
year, shellfish lovers can enjoy a self-guided “Bounty from the Sea’’<br />
driving tour of picturesque Baynes Sound.<br />
