Best Seafood in Hong Kong (2026)

Hong Kong is a coastal city that takes seafood personally — the live tanks in restaurant windows aren't decoration, they're a promise. Our list is short: Loaf On holds the category's Michelin star, a Sai Kung institution where the day's catch dictates the menu and the setting is half the pleasure. Fisholic rounds out the pair as the contemporary counterpoint. Two names can't capture a seafood culture this deep — the typhoon-shelter crab, the steamed garoupa, the claypots of the temple-street stalls — and we're honest that this is a category to grow. But these two sketch the range: the classic waterfront seafood restaurant, built around the live tank, and the modern room treating fish with a lighter touch. Expect prices to track the market — literally, since the best seafood is priced by weight and season — so ask before committing to the big-ticket items. Go with a group, order the steamed fish, and let the restaurant tell you what's best today. In Hong Kong, the right answer to what just came in is always the right order.
