It’s fried, baked, steamed, grilled, sliced, diced and stuffed. More to the point, Hong Kong’s seafood is very fresh. So fresh, you can see it swimming minutes before it’s on your table. True to form, Asia’s world city also offers up seafood in a variety of dining experiences that range from cosmopolitan fusions that would impress the most jaded epicurean all the way down to the best-served-with-beer ‘sampan-style’ concoctions.
For a truly enjoyable seafood feast, desert the downtown for a few hours and head for a seafood district. Here you will find rows of restaurants where you can pick your prey from an aquarium and eat it alfresco while enjoying picturesque sea views on a balmy Hong Kong evening.
