While on a cruise from Seattle, English business magnate Richard Branson made a stop at a Price Rupert restaurant that served him what he called the best meal of his life.

Fukasaku is a small, 14-seat seafood and sushi restaurant that has been operating for over a decade. It focuses on using B.C. seafood, harvests, and products.
“The restaurant is right on the water, and they only use seafood caught by local fishermen. From the Maple Miso Glazed Black Cod to the seafood ramen — it was utterly delicious and I would recommend it to anyone who passes through,” added Branson.
The restaurant also shared the visit by Branson on its own Instagram.
“Not only did he enjoy every dish, he also left us this incredibly kind note on the menu.
Moments like this remind us how special Prince Rupert and our local food community truly are — and how incredible sustainable seafood can be when it’s treated with care and respect,” said Fukasaku.
