Inspection summary

Fisherman's Market has been inspected 5 times by Interior Health Authority since February 23, 2015. The most recent inspection, on May 24, 2024, found no infractions.

2 of 5 inspections on record found no infractions at all. No inspections are on record from the past 12 months. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Cleaning and sanitizing, Pests and Protecting food from contamination.

Recent inspections have recorded more infractions than earlier ones, so it is worth reading the latest reports closely.

What these findings mean

Health authorities word their violations differently, so we group them by what they mean for food safety. Higher-risk findings are the ones inspectors treat as critical, because they can directly make someone sick.

  • Cleaning and sanitizingHigher risk

    Anything that touches food, such as cutting boards, dishes and utensils, must be washed, rinsed and sanitized. Inspectors check dishwasher temperatures, sanitizer strength and how wiping cloths are stored. Poor sanitizing lets bacteria survive from one use to the next.

    Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on March 9, 2022. For example: 3 Are food contact surfaces, utensils and equipment washed and sanitized in a manner that removes/prevents contamination?

  • PestsHigher risk

    Signs of mice, rats, cockroaches or flies, or gaps and clutter that let them get in or hide. Pests carry bacteria and can contaminate food and surfaces, so evidence of activity is treated seriously and usually triggers a follow-up visit.

    Recorded once on March 9, 2022. For example: 2 Are proper pest control measures in place on the premises?

  • Protecting food from contaminationHigher risk

    This covers how food is stored, prepared and displayed: raw meat kept away from ready-to-eat food, food covered and stored off the floor, and nothing dripping or splashing into it. Cross-contamination from raw to cooked food is a direct route for salmonella and E. coli.

    Recorded once on January 25, 2019. For example: 7 Are foods protected from contamination?

  • Permits, records and postingLower risk

    Operating permits, required signage, written procedures and logs. These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.

    Recorded once on March 9, 2022. For example: 3 Are written food handling procedures (Food Safety Plan) current and available on site?

  • Equipment and utensilsLower risk

    Equipment has to be built from cleanable materials, kept in good repair and stored properly. These findings are mostly about upkeep, like a cracked shelf, a worn gasket or utensils stored the wrong way. They are generally lower risk but show how well the kitchen is maintained.

    Recorded once on February 27, 2017. For example: 4 - Are the premises, equipment and utensils designed and maintained to ensure safe and sanitary food handling?

    This place is the best! The boys went out of their way and stayed after close on a Friday night to cut me some fresh pieces of salmon and MAN am I glad they did!! This ended up being the best piece of fish I’ve ever had in my life hands down - absolutely unique and special in a really good way. I’ll definitely be back this week to buy more!

    Amazing fresh seafood, staff are always incredibly helpful, enthusiastic, friendly and knowledgeable. They have gone out of their way many times to package for travel or provide coolers/ice packs for storage or transport home. Clean store with many great and delicious products - definitely try the smoked salmon spread. Great deals on bulk boxes of flash frozen fish as well. Highly recommend.

  • Howard Kettner

    After having moved up from the Lower Mainland some time ago I finally discovered Fisherman's Market - a wonderful replacement for my previous 'supplier'. Staff is super helpful in guiding my purchases and answering questions. So far I've purchased halibut, salmon, swordfish and thei amazing salmon/halibut burgers. All top notch. I'll be back often. Well run, helpful, attentive, friendly.

  • Ronaye Davis

    The fish is always fresh and I love that it's individually packed so you can just put it the freezer. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Customer appreciation day was amazing with really good buys on the fish
