Chang Ying Seafood House
Small eats · Bib
$$
The "Mothers of the Field" programme trains rural women to start their own businesses selling local specialities – and this small shop is one such establishment. It prides itself on milkfish that is farmed by the women themselves and certified additive-free. Its signature milkfish fillet is aged and seared in its own oil for crispness and umami. Try the three-cup milkfish sausage, and the jiggly sweet potato jelly with house-made brown sugar, too.

Dong Shang Taiwanese Seafood

For over three decades, the owner-chef has been supporting charitable causes and cooking for the disadvantaged. Regulars come here not just for his classic banquet dishes, but also for his vision of using only local, eco-friendly ingredients. All dishes, including the array of signature milkfish items, and ‘herbal’ prawns farmed without antibiotics and harmful chemicals, are available in different portion sizes.

Shun Te Beef Soup
Small eats
$$
Its sign could use a new coat of paint and the room is nothing to write home about, but the regulars have been returning for its hearty beef soup for nearly three decades. The broth is made from beef bones and tendons, slow cooked for up to eight hours. Fresh local beef is shipped from the slaughterhouse three times a day to ensure freshness. Besides the soup, beef stir-fry and braised pork rice are also popular. Avoid peak hours if you don’t want to wait.

Shang Hao Chih Beef Soup

The early bird gets the worm; you really need to come early to get a taste of this restaurant’s famous beef soup – it tends to sell out before 11 am. Those in the know go for the hand-sliced Taiwanese beef in a beef bone stock that is amber-coloured and deeply flavoured, followed by stir-fried beef or offal and a bowl of braised pork rice on the side. The rice is slow cooked with pork rind and peanuts for exceptional richness.

In the past 10 or so years, nearly every car on the way to Jiangjun Fishing Harbour stops here to try its fresh catch at great prices. Pick your critters from the fridge and ask the server for the best way to prepare them. The sizzling three-cup marbled eel is its speciality, exuding heady aromas and savoury umami. A great spot for lunch on your trip to Qinkunshen Salt Fields or Mashagou 3D Mural Village. Reservations on holidays are recommended.

Lien Wu Chiao Lamb Soup
Small eats · Bib
$
Founded over 70 years ago, this eatery is justly proud of its famous lamb soup, which is simmered for at least four hours before the Chinese angelica is added for fragrance and invigorating effects. Lamb from central Taiwan is slaughtered and shipped to the shop on the same day to ensure freshness. Scalding soup is poured over the raw sliced lamb cooking it to medium rare. Also try the bouncy lamb skin roll, available on holidays only, and the braised pork rice made with lamb fat.

This place that started out as a corner stall some 30 years ago is now a fully-fledged joint with a bright, clean room… but the friendly service and bustling ambience haven't changed! Freshly slaughtered milkfish is the main draw – as a soup slow cooked with milkfish bone and head for natural sweetness, or fried milkfish belly with crispy skin and tender flesh. Rife with rustic aromas, the garlic rice drizzled with lard is the breakfast of choice for many.

Kaiyuan Red-cook Spanish Mackerel
Small eats · Bib
$
The absence of both an obvious sign and air conditioning hasn’t deterred hungry locals from flocking here from 7am till late over the past four decades. With generous chunks of deep-fried Spanish mackerel in a stock made with halibut, bonito and fried garlic, the eponymous thick soup makes a great meal by itself or a snack between meals. If you’re lucky, you may even get to try the deep-fried mackerel skin that offers great seafood umami.
