Wes Erikson, a fourth generation commercial fisherman, has 11 years experience as a restaurateur, with particular interest in Japanese cuisine. He is the former co-owner of Yamato Japanese Restaurant in Courtenay B.C. with partner, friend and master chef Saturo Ogawa.
This close tie to the fishing industry enables Sushi-Mon to have the best quality seafood from local fishermen. Wes and the staff can even tell you where, when and by whom it was caught! Local ingredients are used as much as possible for all menu items. “Our family has always been passionate about Japanese food. Our children were enjoying tuna and salmon sashimi before they could say the words!” says Wes. Certainly that can’t be a bad thing if current research trends are anything to go by; positive health benefits are being associated with consumption of Omega 3 oils, which are present in cold-water fish such as salmon and tuna.
