Thanks to its high consumption capacity and unique geographical location, Shanghai has always been at the forefront of the domestic aquatic product consumption market. In the early years, the Tongchuan Road Aquatic Market was a gathering place for Shanghainese to buy and eat seafood, and with the relocation of the market, a number of large and small seafood restaurants have sprung up all over Shanghai.
Founded in 2015, the restaurant was originally named "Huofang Aquatic Products", but for some reason it was renamed "Huofang Aquatic Products", and the original brand "Huofang Aquatic Products" was reopened at the Purple Mountain Hotel in Lujiazui. Although the two stores have a certain historical relationship, they currently have their own owners and are not brothers in the same family.
The luxurious dining environment is a plus for the company. Since the store was a high-end club in the early years, the original decoration style was not changed significantly after the restaurant moved in, and the splendid interior was retained. When you step into the restaurant, you can see a huge seafood tank, and all kinds of shrimp and crabs swim alive. The lobby of the restaurant is arranged with circular sofas surrounding the tables, ensuring the privacy of diners. The oversized party room is one of the highlights of the company's aquatic products, and the couch and crystal chandelier all add a lot to the luxurious atmosphere of the private room. The KTV system with good audio-visual effects has also been retained, which further enriches the dining experience of diners.
Although there is some controversy about the restaurant's clubhouse-style decoration style, its rich dishes and high-quality products still won unanimous praise from diners. Shrimp, crab, fish, oysters, sea urchin and other common seafood ingredients are available, and there are a complete range of shrimp and crabs, up to nearly ten varieties. King crab is a must-see dish in the seafood industry, and this deep-sea crab, which survives to a depth of 850 meters, gets its name from its huge size. It is imported from Norway, and the largest can reach more than 20 catties. The cooking method of eating more than one crab can make the most of this ingredient. Charcoal-grilled crab legs, king crab shark fin soup, and king crab egg custard are all dishes made with king crab as the main ingredient. The crab legs are large in size and have fat flesh in them; Shark fin soup is fresh and not fishy; The egg custard is smooth and tender, and each dish can be called different.
Bibimbap, steamed tea bowl, miso soup, and stir-fried snow crab with ginger and shallots are a few of the common à la carte dishes that have received good feedback. Among them, the tuna bibimbap is finely minced, without any fishy smell, and the high freshness can even be distinguished by the seafood "Xiaobai". The ginger, green onion, and mustard are not strong in taste, and are very acceptable to ordinary diners.
The unique service is also a highlight of the company's aquatic products. The restaurant regularly hosts a bluefin tuna dismantling show, and on the day of the show, diners can choose any part of the tuna to eat it, and the meat is visible from the moment it leaves the fish to the moment it reaches the mouth. The waiter is enthusiastic and proactive, and will divide the dishes into each diner's bowl, so that the diner does not have to use his hands during the whole meal. Although the uniform-style work clothes are very suitable for the clubhouse-style decoration, they will still give some diners some "strange" dining experience during the service.
The capacity of the company is not very high, the number of private rooms is limited, and the individual tables in the hall are not very large, so diners who want to go need to make reservations in advance. The price of more than 1,000 yuan per capita is not cost-effective in the seafood restaurant, but considering its rich dishes, high-quality products, and different services, it is still right to its slogan: a luxury local tyrant restaurant once a year.
