Looking for something … skinless, “shell-less”, boneless, headless
I’m still new at learning to enjoy seafood, but everything tastes the same to me because it’s all cooked with the skin/shell, so none of the flavor can absorb. It’s usually steamed or boiled, so it’s … so healthy… so fishy… I’m also not fond of hot, yellow shrimp brains exploding over my hand O__o man that’s some culture shock – I’m really bad at aiming where to cut the head off without losing 20% of the meat lol.
I’m looking for an American style place where if I eat shrimp/fish – ideally, if shrimp, it’d be cut and peeled, with the crap tube scooped out lol. A place where my food doesn’t stare at me while I eat it possibly saucy and fiery gains extra points (opposed to boiled/steamed).
I don’t know how any of that can be termed “American-style”. Maybe keep-it-simple style.
All the great seafood places I go in US you get the food almost in the same state as it was in the water.
Culture shock? I’ve been eating shrimp all over the USA since birth with yellow brains exploding all over my hand. That’s some GOOD STUFF.
The real difference from America is that the quality is not as good and they serve the fish with the head and also eat the inside parts of some fish.
I guess I’ll suggest some chains like Texas Roadhouse and Hooters where I would not really consider eating seafood but it’s served much simpler than Taiwan restaurants.
Even the nicest hotels in Taiwan mostly serve their seafood as is.
oh man, Long John Silvers is gross. Ordered a meal there once in L.A. and the lady just around opened a cabinet pulled out a meal box and gave it to me chicken, coleslaw all sitting in the box probably for hours.
That looks good. How expensive is expensive? It seems it wouldn’t be worth it unless you got one of those seafood boils with king crab legs or lobster. I guess that’s what you probably got.
They charge by weight. I remember last time I went with a group of around 8-12 people and still ended up spending over 1000NT per person.
I don’t recommend going often, but if you want to try something different with the family, definitely worth a visit since you aren’t given any utensil and are mostly using your hands! They do provide huge sinks to wash your hands afterwards.
