Haimen Fish Boy Shop - Business Reviews

When it comes to Chaocai restaurants in Guangzhou, the first name that comes to many people's minds is "Haimen Fish Shop". Different from the impression labels of "high-end" and "expensive" in most Chaocai restaurants, Haimen Fish Boy Shop has sprung up with its down-to-earth food stall operation, and has won excellent public reputation and hot popularity with its stable product quality. Since the opening of its first store in Yanling, Haimen Fish Larvae has grown rapidly and now has five branches in Guangzhou. After 2013, affected by policy adjustments, Guangzhou's high-end Chaocai market was generally cold, but Haimen fish juveniles firmly grasped the mass market with authentic dishes, stable quality and affordable prices. Haimen Fish Shop adopts the order mode of typical Chaoshan food stalls, with all ingredients such as seafood, fish rice, canned soup, and brine placed in the open file, and the kitchen is open and visible, without a menu, and customers order before the stall after sitting down and opening the card. As a Chaocai restaurant that started with seafood stalls, the seafood dishes of Haimen Fish Shop are naturally the signature of the signboard, its seafood comes from Shantou Haimen Fish Port, and it is immediately chilled and transported to Guangzhou within three hours, and sold every day, and its freshness is no less than that of the local seafood market in Chaoshan. At the stall of the fish shop, you can see a dazzling array of Chaoshan shallow sea characteristic fish species, such as red belt, parrot, Di Zai, sand tip, dog mother, white pomfret and so on, which are all available and cannot be exhausted. Chaoshan Hong Kong is rich in fishery products, and there are many kinds of shallow sea trash fish, so cooking shallow sea fish is also one of Chaoshan people's specialties. Teochew cuisine is extremely focused on the original taste of shallow sea fish, and the cooking methods are conservative and delicate, such as boiling in soybean sauce, steaming ginger and shallots, Teochew-style white cooking, plum sauce raw cooking, pan-fried, soaked in oil and even made into fish rice (frozen fish), etc., which are treated differently for different fish species, in order to maximize the original flavor characteristics of the fish species. The production of Haimen fish larvae is traditional and simple, according to the characteristics of the meat quality of the miscellaneous fish, the taste is light and sweet, and it is very trendy style. Raw pickles are also one of the must-try features of the store, such as raw pickled shrimp, raw pickled shrimp, raw pickled winter mushrooms, etc., which reflect the original taste of seafood to the extreme. The so-called "raw pickling" is a common seafood treatment in Chaozhou cuisine, in which seafood is eaten raw after being soaked in marinades such as soy sauce, chili, garlic and coriander. However, due to the bloody appearance, some Guangzhou diners may not be able to accept it, so the "Hanhua Jia" (cold salad flower nail) in the store is also a relatively good choice. This dish is made of chilled marinated dishes, i.e., the nails are boiled in water, then chilled to retain moisture, and then treated as raw pickles, which not only dispels some diners' concerns about raw seafood, but also retains the unique flavor of Chaoshan raw pickles. The chef met the diners face to face in the dining area, and the Japanese teppanyaki method collided with the fresh ingredients of Chaoshan in front of the diners, and the traditional Teochew dishes such as fried kale with preserved flounder, fried rice with white radish, and pan-fried parrotfish made a stunning appearance on the teppanyaki, without losing the original flavor of Teochew. Although Haimen Fish Boy Shop adopts a business model similar to that of food stalls, its store decoration, dining environment, staffing and service quality have far exceeded the level of food stalls, positioning in the middle and upper, the price is affordable, and the price per capita is less than 100 yuan. In addition to seafood, traditional Chaoshan coarse dishes such as oyster roasting, brine, kueh products, seasonal shellfish stir-fry, bitter gourd pot, lamb roast two-color, hemp leaves, etc., are not easy to make mistakes. If you are not comfortable with the way you order, you can ask the staff and they will recommend dishes for you.
