香港美食 - 海鲜篇/Delicious Seafood of Hong Kong

 

Eating seafood is the best part of the dining out experience in Hong Kong. From high-end restaurants to roadside stalls (大排档)，dizzying varieties of seafood sourced from all over the world are available, provided you don't mind paying premium price. Cantonese style of cooking seafood puts emphasis on 原汁原味, highlighting the natural, original taste of the ingredients. Steamed grouper is a must-try dish, an ethereal experience not to be missed. Outlying islands and fishing villages such as Lamma island (南丫岛), Cheung Chau (長洲), Lau Fou Shan (流浮山) are renowned for excellent seafood. My personal preference is late night meals at roadside stalls, aka 大排档, where prices are more reasonable, and stir-fry techniques and qualities are otherworldly.
