2016 Inaugural Coastal Culinary Experience

A new tradition began with great gusto last August up at The Clubhouse. But even before they arrived, the guests of the inaugural Coastal Culinary Experience knew they were in for a treat when news broke weeks earlier that the headlining guest chef was none other than Charles-Antoine Crête. The owner of one of Canada’s most eagerly anticipated new restaurants, Montréal Plaza, Crête rose admirably through the ranks from line cook to chef de cuisine under fellow Quebecer and uber-famed Chef Normand Laprise at his much celebrated Montreal fine-dining emporium, Toqué! Crête is one of Canada’s most recognized names in the culinary industry, but that didn’t stop him from taking a break from Montreal’s vibrant restaurant scene to make his way to Haida Gwaii where he helped make long-lasting gastronomic memories for guests who took in this newest special event on The Clubhouse calendar.

* Chef Charles-Antoine Crête and Normand Laprise. The Coastal Culinary Experience was indeed a gastronomic odyssey in which guests took a pause from fishing for Tyees that commonly frequent these waters in late summer and were whisked by helicopters to the deserted beach of Beresford Bay, where Crête and sous Chef Simon McConnell-Enright were ready and waiting along with The Clubhouse all-star servers Rebecca, Taylor, and Kaitlin.

* Beautiful fishing conditions.

* Whale watching at it's finest.

* The stage for the Coastal Culinary Experience on remote Beresford Bay. There they dined el fresco on a long list of menu items that ranged from marinated Salmon salad served on Korean rice crisps to sea snails with chanterelles and fennel to 12-hour braised beef with strawberry and matsutake mushrooms, all carefully paired with rich elegant wines.

* Marinated Salmon salad.

* Charcoal grilled Yakitori with chicken, pork, venison and seasonal vegetables.

* Chef's Charle's take on baked oysters - a guest favorite! Afterwards guests stated their reluctance to leave, opting to relax and beach-comb under sunny skies, resulting in one lucky guest discovering one of the glass Japanese fishing floats that frequently wash up on these shores.

* Glass ball that one of our lucky guests found.

*A few courageous guests even went for a swim!

* Guests heading out as the sun rises on another special day on the west coast. Judging by the comment cards, another culinary tradition has begun for The West Coast Fishing Club and one that promises to be a highlight of the season for years to come.
