Thanksgiving, whenever you celebrate, is absolutely the perfect time for reflection.  As we gather with friends and family to celebrate Thanksgiving it’s wonderful to share some of the stories and the memories of the year that is coming to an end.  And in reflection we’re reminded to be thankful for those memories.  Our lives are so rich and we often forget how very fortunate we are.  At QCL we feel that our guests and staff all have something very important in common… our experiences at the Lodge in Haida Gwaii and especially our stories.

We feel especially privileged to be able to share a few days with our Queen Charlotte Lodge family each summer.  Thank you all for allowing us that privilege.

For the past 29 years Queen Charlotte Lodge has helped to create those memories for adventure seekers of all generations.  Families and friends make up a large part of our guest list on virtually every trip of the summer.  With all that experience, we make it really easy for you to come visit!

As our American friends celebrate Thanksgiving this weekend, it’s the perfect time to start planning one of those escapes!  We still have some space available for next summer but people are talking and planning and select dates are filling up.  Explore around our website to learn more and feel free to give us a call to enquire.

Spot Prawns & Sidestripe Prawns
BC Prawns are caught along the entire BC coast. Sashimi grade, these deep-water delights are among the sweetest and most exquisite on the planet. Spot Prawns – Whatever you do, do not overcook – or they will turn to mush! Either boil them until they float, then immediately drain and ice, or do a quick 10 second sauté on each side; it’s all you need!  Sidestripes are tougher and can handle being on the grill a little longer.

We recommend this delicious treatment of Spot Prawns – everything is better with butter – right!  Here’s the recipe from our latest QCL Cookbook!
