Exploring Cow Bay and walking along the Atlin Terminal Boardwalk in Prince Rupert

Fukusaku

Restaurant

About

Fukusaku, in the northwest fishing hub of Prince Rupert, is a cozy, 14-seat seafood and sushi restaurant. Set on the waterfront, with a view of Cow Bay, this tiny establishment is big on details: The dining room’s cedar tables and chairs are works of art, constructed without the use of nails. 

The restaurant focuses on sustainability, and Chef Dai Fukasaku’s strong connection with local fishers and fisheries ensures high quality while reducing the restaurant’s carbon footprint. “I wanted to set an example of what a restaurant could accomplish using only the freshest, sustainably caught seafood from our province,” says Dai. “I believe in local consumption. It is eco-friendly in terms of reducing CO2 emissions as it is the least-travelled food, it contributes to the local economy as well as fisheries. And the bottom line—it’s delicious.” 

Local favourites include octopus sunomono, a pescatarian ramen, and a broiled, line-caught BC black cod marinated for seven days in a housemade maple miso. Fukusaku has also expanded to include a market, offering local seafood, signature sauces and marinades, and other delicious, sustainably harvested fare for purchase.
