If there’s one thing we’ve been doing more of this month, it’s definitely eating out. Normally, we eat out very rarely, but with our days filled with packing, sorting, organizing, and keeping little hands busy so they’re not digging in already packed boxes, we’ve been giving ourselves a break lately and eating some of our meals out. Not only does mean that I don’t have to cook and that Brad doesn’t have to do dishes, but it also gives us all a much needed break from being indoors.
Tonight, Brad suggested that we head down to Steveston for fish and chips, which I thought was brilliant. I’ve been meaning to take Miss G down to the oceanfront village forever and just haven’t gotten around to it, and with the weather as beautiful as it was today, it was the perfect place to enjoy some evening sunshine.
We arrived in Steveston, found parking, and headed straight to Pajo’s, which is pretty much an institution when it comes to fish and chips in the Lower Mainland.
Miss G and I scouted out a table while Brad headed off to order our dinner, and before long, he returned with this… 2 large halibut and chip orders with fresh lemon and tatar sauce. To say that it was delicious would be an understatement. It was so good in fact, that I ate more than I should have, even though Grae and I shared and then gave a good portion of our food to Brad to eat.
Now if you know about our food philosophy when it come to feeding Miss G, you know that fried food like this isn’t something that happens usually. But, with Pajo’s sourcing their ingredients locally {and my moving exhaustion}, we decided to make an exception just for tonight. In fact, we even let her taste her very first french fry (*gasp!*)
She of course loved it, so we let her choose two more, and that was it. (Years ago I heard some crazy stat like ‘60% of North American kids’ first vegetable is french fries’ and whether it’s true or not, I think it may have scarred me for life.)
Afterwards, we enjoyed a lovely walk along the boardwalk and checked out many of the fishing boats selling fresh seafood.
It was the perfect way to end another busy day, and I can already say that I can’t wait to do it again next summer.
When you are back next year, we should meet up at Steveston and have Pajos! I still haven’t brought my kids there yet!
Oh my goodness, Angel! That sounds like an AMAZING plan! Pajo’s is DELICIOUS!
