Discerning locals crowd this first-rate eatery, housed in two unassuming adjacent buildings. There's no menu – make your selection from the fishy candidates lined up on ice, decide how you would like it cooked and order any accompaniments such as rice or midin (fern). Seawater tanks hold live clams and prawns. Servings of fish are priced by weight.
