Travel Diary Seafood Introduction
Recommended Dishes for the 2016 Seafood Capital Certified Restaurant: Hakka Red Eel, Steamed Sea Bass, and Pepper Conch. Originally opened to provide a hearty meal, You Ji Seafood has accumulated a loyal customer base through the years of hard work by the owner and his wife. The dishes in the restaurant are mostly self-taught recipes by Boss You. He says that as a chef, one must have a heart that cares for customers, and food should be healthy and enjoyable. If customers return for a specific dish, success is just around the corner. Indeed, regular customers often have their favorite spots to sit, and the owner's wife greets them warmly; the familiar rhythm of ordering reflects their good rapport. Boss You, who enjoys tasting Hakka cuisine, has diligently developed seafood dishes that differ from those of other restaurants. He exemplifies the proper culinary spirit with his flying fish roe omelette; most people are unaware that flying fish roe must be sifted to remove impurities before being cooked. While sharing this insight, he also fried rice noodles and sakura shrimp, placing them atop the omelette to add a unique playfulness to the dish. “Those in the food industry must be happy to cultivate the right attitude to create heartfelt dishes, which in turn attracts consumers looking for safe and healthy dining options,” says Boss You, a seasoned chef.
