After wrestling with the maths and tide tables, and poring over cruising guides, we were happy to stop and refocus on the local, small production wines from SouthEnd Farm Winery<\/a> on Quadra Island, our previous night’s moorage.\u00a0 The primary grape used in the red and the ros\u00e9 is Cabernet Franc.\u00a0 In the market on Quadra we were drawn to their simple labelling and functional stoppage.<\/p>\n

Given our goal to eat and drink locally, these wines were a perfect pairing with fresh-caught Chinook salmon gifted to us on the dock at Toba.\u00a0 On the first day, simply grilled with salt and pepper, served with creamy mashed potatoes and a cucumber salad, this present from the deep made a hearty lunch.\u00a0 With the remainder of the cooked fish we made salmon cakes.<\/p>\n

Flake cooked salmon into a bowl with finely chopped sweet pepper, jalape\u00f1o pepper, spring onions, mayonnaise and a glob of left-over mashed potatoes.\u00a0 Season with salt and pepper, toss to mix well, and form into patties.\u00a0 Saut\u00e9 in ghee or olive oil over medium-high heat until pleasingly browned on the outside.\u00a0 Serve on a salad of local greens with smoked potato chips and a wedge of lemon.<\/span><\/p>\n
