Sure. We have salmon, spot prawns and Dungeness crab aplenty here on the west coast, but that doesn’t mean we don’t crave fresh lobster every summer as well, like our neighbours out east who get to feast on it regularly.

Loving fresh lobster is easy right now on Canada’s west coast. Here’s a hot list of restaurants serving it up in a variety of ways. Lobster. The love is real, people.

Vancouver

Lobster Fest is an annual thing at Provence Marinaside, returning every July and on now ‘til month end. Executive Chef Jean-Francis Quaglia created a three-course menu for a sweet deal at $62 with optional wine pairings for an additional charge. Choices of starters like lobster salad with fresh peas and puree or classic lobster Thermidor whet your palate for even more, with main options offered x3. The whole Atlantic lobster done Provençal style is ridiculously delish finished with a splash of brandy. They add the freshest prettiest summer vegetables, making your platter as pretty as a picture. Dessert? A simple shortcake or sorbet sends you on your way home afterward happy as a clam. Book a table pronto, time’s a tickin’.

Surrey: Crescent Beach

We love this charming eatery and it’s no surprise they keep the lobster love year ‘round by offering lobster ravioli on their regular menu. The Cabin serves this signature stuffed pasta dish with an apple brandy cream sauce, topped with asparagus and juicy prawns.

Surrey

How about an Asian take on lobster? Neptune Seafood Restaurant does dumplings like nobody’s business, and their lobster dumplings are exceptional. Or, go for the fried rice noodle dish with lobster in soy sauce.

Is lobster considered lucky? Well, we think so considering the The Diamond Buffet at Elements Casino is offering an endless Lobster Tail and Prime Rib Buffet on July 17 & 31st.

If you have ever had a lobster roll, you know they’re easy to find on the east coast, but here? Not so much. S + L offers theirs for a mere $5 each, and served an upscale but still classic way on a soft buttery roll with lemon aioli, and pickled red onions. Lobster chowder also is a get-it-while-it’s-hot addition.

Coquitlam

We can always count on The Keg to never let us down when it comes to their summer lobster menu. For a limited time get yourself in for a feast, starting with lobster gratinee, and a choice of mains that include a whole 2 lb lobster, and a steak and lobster medallion which is code for bacon-wrapped lobster. Yep, you read that right. Are you the sharesie type? Lobster-stuffed yorkies sound fun too.

White Rock

Lobster is making a short but delicious appearance over the summer at Onyx Steak & Seafood Bar. Try the Nova Scotia lobster cobb salad, lobster stuffed wild salmon, garlic steamed lobster tail or truffle lobster mac and cheese. Sigh….

FIVE serves their lobster old-school, with a live saltwater tank so you know yours is super fresh.

The Boathouse is a go-to for fresh fish all over the lower mainland with numerous locations. Their summer Atlantic lobster tail dinner is oven roasted and with hot drawn butter, wild rice, and seasonal veg. Yes please.
