Fish Works in North Vancouver
I was looking for a new restaurant to try out on the North Shore; sometimes it seems like I've tried them all!
I'd heard from a few friends over the past few months that Fishworks down on 91 Londsale Avenue was pretty good, so I invited a friend to go and try it out with me on a Saturday night.
I easily made a reservation for 6:30 a few days before, and found parking just one block up on 1st street.
The hostess greeted us right away and offered to take our jackets. The restaurant was inviting and warm; dark woods and nice lighting.
It wasn't too busy yet, but was starting to fill up.
We were seated and helped out right away by our server. He was very welcoming and told us a number of specials for that evening. Many of them sounded very delicious, but after perusing the menu I was torn between the bouillabaisse and the ling cod.
The server suggested the bouillabaisse as a better choice as it was very popular, so I chose that along with a 1/2 pound of mussels with jalapeno, coconut milk and lemongrass. Yum!
The drinks we ordered came out quickly, but my friend's beer wasn't very good. Not the fault of the restaurant, but our server was very on top of things and offered to bring her something else. That's the kind of service I like.
We got our delicious mussels and polished them off without delay. The flavours were very nice together.
Our mains came out soon after; the bouillabaisse for me, and a salmon Wellington for my friend.
Both dishes were piping hot and full of flavour. My dish was lovely to look at; lots of colour and nicely presented. We enjoyed our meals very much and the bill came to around $70 before tip. I thought that was reasonable considering the service, and the quality of the food.
By the time we left, there were no available tables. It was around 7:30pm.
I would recommend Fishworks if you're looking for yummy seafood, and excellent service. We left full and with no complaints.

DVC Indoor Shooting Range; It's a Blast!
I never thought that shooting a gun would be something fun for a Friday night with my ladies, but boy, was I wrong!
I organized an outing with some friends to go to the shooting range, and we picked a Friday because it was ladies night. That's right, ladies night Friday night; we saved $30 each!
We pulled up to DVC indoor shooting range in Port Coquitlam, and found ample parking outside. There was a line up outside the locked door, so we got ready to wait.
There is a cap on how many people are allowed in the building at a time, so we waited until we were let in. We then filled in a waiver (which can be printed ahead of time and brought in), and were given the low down on the guns by an employee.
The employee was professional and friendly, and explained all the options to us. He was very helpful and well trained. He helped us pick out the right guns for us and we decided to share five different guns.
We were then brought into a small room for a safety talk, where one of the employees took us through the steps on how to hold the gun, how to set it down, and all the other protocol. It was a bit overwhelming! We were starting to get nervous and excited.
Finally the time came when we could enter the range. We were given eye and ear protection and brought into the range. The man assigned to us was very friendly and helpful and walked us through it every step of the way. We ended up having to employees assist us in two different "lanes" as there were five of us shooting and we were alternating guns.
Not once did I feel unsafe or unsupervised; it was very controlled, safe and fun!
We arrived around 8pm and were done at 10. I'm sure it would be faster if you weren't trading weapons, and were just sticking to one per person.
I would recommend DVC indoor shooting range if you're looking for something different to do, and want to learn how to shoot in a controlled environment.
If you have 10 or more people, you can make a reservation. Otherwise, it's first come, first served.
