Yue Ji Seafood Introduction
Recommended dishes at the 2016 certified restaurant, Hualien City: Hakka Red Clay Eel, Steamed Mullet, Pepper Conch. Originally opened out of the need to make a living, You Ji Seafood has, through the hard work of owner You and his wife over the years, built a strong customer base. Most of the dishes in the restaurant are prepared using the self-taught skills of Chef You. He believes that as a chef, one must not only have a caring heart for customers but also provide healthy and enjoyable food. If a guest reminisces about a specific dish and returns, success is almost guaranteed. Indeed, many regular customers at You Ji have their preferred seats, and the friendly greetings from the owner's wife make it easy to quickly place an order, showcasing their great rapport with customers. Chef You, who loves Hakka cuisine and is dedicated to developing seafood dishes, does things differently than other restaurants. To embody the correct culinary spirit, he cites his Flying Fish Roe Omelette as an example. Most people do not know that after catching flying fish roe, it comes in clumps and requires grinding and meticulous cleaning before it can be included in dishes. While sharing his knowledge, he simultaneously fried rice noodles and sakura shrimp, layering them on the omelette to add a unique playful touch to the dish. "Those in the food industry must be happy; only then can they maintain the right attitude to create heartfelt dishes, attracting consumers who seek安心與健康 (safe and healthy) food," says Chef You, who has been a chef for many years.
