After World War II commercial fishing increased in Victoria. To accommodate the increase a $100,000
Fisherman's Wharf was built near Erie Street close to Victoria's inner harbour, opening 31 March 1948. The
120-metre (390 ft) wharf could moor 60 fish packing ships along six finger float piers.

Today the warf offers food kiosks, unique shops and eco-tour adventures in a working harbour setting. You
can buy seafood fresh off the boat and see a unique array of commercial, pleasure vessel and float home
moorage, as well as watch the commercial fishing vessels unload their wares.
