Their only downside is that they're only available in Xiamen...

Not an internet-famous spot! This is where locals actually eat! Authentic Xiamen flavors! Operating in Huli District for 24 years! Regular customers are all neighborhood regulars! The boss is genuinely down-to-earth! Every dawn, he personally goes to the docks to handpick seafood still jumping fresh from the water! From ocean to table in under 6 hours - the giant seafood tanks at the entrance literally scream "FRESH!" Lobsters, crabs, shellfish all happily swimming, even bullfrogs available. Pick what you want and they'll cook it immediately - this is true "visible freshness"! 🍴 Must-try knockout dishes: ✅ Steamed giant grouper: Fish so tender like tofu, steaming best preserves the original flavor - freshness that makes your tongue tremble! ✅ Oyster omelette: Crispy outside, tender inside with plump oysters, paired with the essential sweet chili sauce - one bite transports you to old Xiamen streets! ✅ Boiled shrimp: Simply cooked in clear water, the shrimp meat is springy and sweet, even the vein is surprisingly clean! ✅ Small split lobster: Explosively juicy meat, perfectly paired with garlic vermicelli - you won't stop sucking the shells! ✅ Scallops stir-fried with ginger and scallions: Wok hei perfection! Each scallop plump and tender, even the side ingredients are plate-licking good! 📍 Haizhongxian Affordable Live Seafood Restaurant (Huli Food Landmark) ✅ No. 80-2 Jiayuan Road (Near Yuehua Hotel, Xianglu Hotel, Heyue Hotel) #TestMyBowlPower #HappinessInABowl #MustEatList #XiamenFood #FoodExploration #PopularSpots #WeekendCheckIn #FriendGatherings #FoodieLife #TravelFood #LocalXiamenRecommendations #Seafood #MinnanSnacks #SeafoodStallExperience #BudgetFriendlyDinner #AuthenticFlavors
