Xiao Zhang Guishan Island - Enjoy Authentic Seafood
Many years ago, when fisherman Xiao Zhang peeled fresh wild shrimp caught from more than 300 meters below the sea and dipped them in soy sauce and mustard before putting them in his mouth, he always thought that one day he would open a seafood restaurant to teach city people what it really means to enjoy authentic seafood.
Now, among the row of seafood restaurants on Liaoning Street in Taipei, "Xiao Zhang Guishan Island" has become a well-known brand among food lovers. Xiao Zhang stopped being a fisherman and became a boss and chef instead. He serves seafood to Taipei residents using the traditional flavors from his mother and the most original cooking methods.
Every morning, Xiao Zhang goes to Yilan's seaport to select the freshest and most special seafood caught that day and brings it back to Taipei, regardless of the weather, except when there is a typhoon. He used to be a fisherman and clearly knows the seasonal specialties of the Yilan sea area. Sweet shrimp and eels are available all year round, yellow croaker in spring, red-eyed mullet in summer, red throat in autumn, and black throat in winter. Therefore, the seafood displayed on the counter at his shop is always fresher and more distinctive than others. Plus, the prices are very reasonable and heartwarming. Therefore, if you want to taste the fresh ingredients of his shop on the same day, you need to act quickly, otherwise, the good stuff will be gone if you come too late!
