This is a Dai pai dong but with a roof. A no frills but good food restaurant. No AC but since it is located right on a pier, there is a bit of a breeze. Plus an abundant amount of ceiling fans to keep cool in the summer months.
There are many tanks of seafood for selection right at the entrance of the restaurant. Choose what you want and tell them how you want it prepared.
Razor clams - sautéed with black beans and peppers. it was so fresh, no fishy taste and extremely sweet and not sandy.
Geoduck - thinly sliced sashimi on a giant bowl of ice. The bowl looked like it weighted 10lbs! Hot pot on the side to blanch the breast meat(the part that is hidden in the shell) and for others who do not eat raw food. It was my first time eating geoduck. My favorite dish of the night! The sashimi is the sliced neck meat (the part that protrudes out). It had a crunchy yet smooth texture with a hint of sweetness. The breast meat when cooked is soft and spongy.
Scallop - seamed with vermicelli, scallions and garlic. So good!
Mantis shrimp - fried. You gotta get your hands dirty and peel off the shell. I had to get over the fact that it looked so creepy with its' many shrimp like legs and the weird looking head. Under all that shell is a lobster ish texture meat. Taste was a cross between shrimp and lobster.
Crab - sautéed with scallions and ginger. It was so meaty and had a lot of orange caviar. I love crab!
Fish - steamed and with a soy sauce poured over and topped with scallions. Simple. Fish was about 3-4lbs and meaty. Like everything else, not fishy tasting because it was freshly picked from the tank.
Chicken - someone from another table followed the waiter to my table just to check out the chicken. Extremely smooth meat.
Cuttlefish- fried, was good but arrived at the end of the meal. Good but not as amazing as everything else.
In conclusion, Eat where the locals eat! read more
