Egg rolls

The dish reviewers rave about — thin, blistered and crunchy, made to be dunked in plum sauce or a little hot sauce.

· The Story

A family kitchen,
run by hand.

Golden P.A.M. has fed Masset for years from its spot on Collison Ave — one of the handful of kitchens keeping the north end of Haida Gwaii in hot dinners. It’s a family operation, kids-help-at-the-till kind of place, where every plate is fried to order behind the counter.

“Family run, super kind! Consistently tasty!”

— Laura Cuthbert, Google review
  • Everything cooked fresh to order — worth the short wait, and worth phoning ahead.
  • Cash only, so bring notes — there’s no card machine at the counter.
  • The letters “P.A.M.”? That one’s the family’s to tell — ask when you call in.
