As a culinary capital, Xiamen enjoys a reputation for countless seafood delicacies due to its rich marine resources and unique geographic location. Here are three highly recommended places to gather for seafood:

First, Shapaowei Fishing Harbor is one of the largest fishing harbors in Xiamen, and a national key fishery fishing harbor. Every day, a wide variety of seafood such as hairy crabs, lobsters, sea cucumbers, abalones and sea urchins are constantly shipped here. Whether you buy them directly or taste them in the neighboring restaurants, you can enjoy the freshest seafood culinary experience.

Secondly, Xiamen's first seafood wholesale market is located in the Huli District, and as one of the larger seafood markets, it brings together fresh seafood from fishing villages around the world at affordable prices. There are not only wholesale, but also restaurants and seafood cities where you can try seafood delicacies cooked in various ways.

Shitangtou Fishing Harbor, a fishing village in southern Fujian steeped in history and tradition, is known as the "home of seafood" and serves up plenty of fresh seafood every day. Seafood restaurants here offer seafood specialties such as prawns in oil, pomfrets with salt and pepper, scallops with green onion and crabs with garlic, while the beautiful sea view adds to the pleasure of vacationing and exploring.

Overall, both Shapaowei, the First Seafood Wholesale Market and Shitangtou are the best of Xiamen's seafood, both in terms of freshness and choice of varieties, catering to the needs of seafood lovers, and making it an excellent place to sample Xiamen's seafood.
