In Changsha, everyone knows that to eat seafood, you have to go to Mawangdui Seafood Market, where the seafood is not only fresh, but also cheap.
The first store in front of the market is the Xiang Gao Kee Seafood Factory, which was founded in 2008 and has grown in scale and now has four stores in Changsha.
As the name suggests, Xiang Gao Kee's seafood is a blend of Changsha flavors, combined with Hunan cuisine, and almost all of these seafood are cooked with heavy seasonings, which caters to the tastes of local diners, but also masks the original taste of seafood. Xiang Gao Kee has a rich variety of seafood, which is not much inferior to the top stores on the list, and dozens of seafood types such as shrimp crickets, razor clams, abalone, sashimi, and pike crab are available in the store.
Spicy abalone is a favorite seafood dish in the restaurant, its appearance is bright red and plump, the fat abalone is wrapped in chili peppers and exudes fragrance, the entrance is tender and spicy, the meat is firm, and the disadvantage is that it is slightly salty. There are many ways to make razor clams, garlic explosion, and the taste is good, among which the taste of razor clams is fresh and soft, and the fresh and spicy sauce is very flavorful. In addition to the above, secret Roche shrimp, spicy snails, and salted egg yolk crab are all fresh items with strong flavors.
Among the four stores in Xiang Gao Kee, the market store is the oldest, and the rest of the stores are better decorated. The main store of the market store does have the style of a seafood market, and diners can choose seafood from the pool and hand it over to the store directly, but the environment here is noisy, and there is a lot of water on the ground, so it is really difficult to feel high-grade. The service in the store is average, the waiters are relatively indifferent, and the needs of diners are not responded to in a timely manner.
