This well-known, long-established seafood restaurant located beside the Shenaou fishing port is called Old Captain because its owner, Liao Zhengming, was sailing from his teens until his sixties, and the ship's crew reverently addressed him as "Old Captain." Even after stepping ashore to open his seafood restaurant, his unique culinary skills are equally respected. The local specialties of small squid and cuttlefish are cooked extraordinarily well here, and Taipei visitors travel from afar just to taste the freshest catch at Old Captain. Old Captain's signature dishes are, of course, the various preparations of squid and cuttlefish, which are abundant in this area. The freshest and most fundamental way to cook them is by steaming—the method is simple yet natural, creating a flavor so remarkable it astonishes diners. While other restaurants' approaches are similar, Old Captain offers richly diverse textures and styles. Eating Old Captain's squid and cuttlefish in Shenaou has almost become a pilgrimage: whether steamed, boiled, stir-fried, or deep-fried, each preparation is deeply flavorful, exquisite, and unique.
