Super Star Seafood Restaurant

Frommer's Review

Walk past the tank filled with sea creatures up to this lively Cantonese restaurant on the first floor. It's very popular with local Chinese, many of whom consider it one of Hong Kong's top Cantonese restaurants. Its menu includes pictures of major dishes; as its name implies, the restaurant specializes in fresh seafood, though the menu does offer more than seafood (including, oddly enough, Wagyu beef). Recommended are the steamed lobster with garlic, stewed crab with Chinese wine, drunken shrimp in wine, giant scallops, stir-fried assorted mushrooms, and Royal crab (available June to Sept). Otherwise, prices for live seafood vary with the season and depend on the size of the creature you desire. If you want a specific fish or something else in the tank, be sure to ask the price first. Stone fish is popular with the Chinese and is the restaurant's specialty. It's a rather ugly fish, expensive, and poisonous to boot if not prepared correctly. If this is what you want, you'll have to wait an hour for it to cook, though you can alternatively order a quicker, cheaper option, like the stone fish potage or stone fish fried roll. Dim sum, served until 5pm, starts at HK$13 (US$1.70/85p) per plate.
