Side Trips from Quebec City Shopping

Poissonnerie Joseph Paquet

Poissonnerie Joseph Paquet Review

The only remaining commercial fisherman on the island smokes his fish and sells it from a tiny shack. You can sample surprisingly tasty smoked eel as well as smoked trout and salmon. Also on sale are fresh and smoked walleye pike and sturgeon, all from the St. Lawrence River. New products include a sturgeon mousse and, a most rare treat—sturgeon méchoui: the fish is marinated in salt the traditional way, and then roasted on a spit.
