Tou Mu Seafood Restaurant Introduction
"Toumu Seafood Restaurant" is located directly in front of the trailhead of Daban Stone Mountain in Ishioka. Established in the 71st year of the Republic of China, it has now been passed down to the third generation. The restaurant primarily focuses on stir-fried dishes and seafood cuisine, with the main ingredients such as fish and lobster sourced from local fishing boats. In the early days, it was named "East Coast" and catered mainly to truck drivers who frequented the area. However, due to the proliferation of establishments with similar names and the fact that the owner’s grandfather had served as a leader for four terms in the tribe, the name was changed to "Toumu Seafood Restaurant." Over time, the clientele shifted to include more tourists visiting the East Coast. The founder of Toumu Seafood Restaurant, Mama Kiniw, not only manages the restaurant but also sells homemade grilled flying fish beside it. The flying fish, caught from the local waters of Ishioka, go through a cleaning and brining process and are grilled to perfection, filling the air with an enticing aroma that attracts many visitors. On bustling days, nearly 100 flying fish can be sold! Mama Kiniw's skill in grilling flying fish earned her the "Best Popularity Award" at the Indigenous Industry Expo in the 100th year of the Republic of China. In addition to stir-fried dishes, the restaurant's signature item is the "Mountain and Sea Flavor Meal," which includes a set of seven dishes and one soup. It is known for its affordability and strong local characteristics.
