From high-end party venues to the coast and open-air restaurants, here are Hong Kong’s best locations for eating seafood the closest way especially to grab offers on Seafood Friday.
Lamma Rainbow
Travel to the quaint fishing town of Sok Kwu Wan for a relaxed al fresco seafood feast at Lamma Rainbow. The air in this age-old Chinese cafe is sensible, with little decor to argue with, but the food is amazing. Selected set menus allow one the opportunity to experience a variety of Lamma Rainbow’s finest culinary manifestations – including its award-winning steamed grouper and scorched lobster spread – expertly prepared and served just the way the gourmet expert expected. Contributions change to mirror the period’s bounties, so one usually gets the freshest. When the belly is happily stuffed and one is ready to leave the island, go ahead and board the cafe’s complimentary boat service to go straight to Central or Tsim Sha Tsui. Option of online buy shellfish is also available.
Ming Kee Seafood Restaurant
Situated on the sandy beaches of Tai Wan in Po Toi, Ming Kee Seafood Restaurant is an extravagant gem well worth a tour. Try not to be fooled by its modest, rural appearance; this beachfront cabin has been caring for the local population and distant visitors to prime seafood for over 40 years. While they work on the homely Cantonese passage, their menu also accounts for global cooking styles, pushing the dishes. Ming Kee is known for distributing what some consider to be the best squid ($150), where super delicate pieces of squid are beaten into a very fresh rind, generously prepared with salt and pepper, and combined with an arbitrarily prepared sauce. Other must-see dishes are seafood soup ($110) and clams with black beans and stew sauce.
