Best Seafood Restaurants in Penang

Seafood is so common in Penang among locals and even non-locals whom are more than willing to visit from outstation. Seeing as how Penang is enveloped by the large sea and fishing villages, it's no surprise to see many long-time seafood establishments all over Penang. Eating seafood can be relatively expensive in general, but not if you discover the good ones worthy of your money like the ones on this list!

Pang Hainan Seafood

Pang Hainan Seafood is a hard place to miss whether you're a local or a tourist looking for some seafood. It operates with a large outdoor and indoor dining experience, providing ample space to cater for large gatherings and groups. Fresh catch-of-the-days like fish, king crab and lobster are a must to order and pair well with fried rice or noodles. Most of the crabs and lobsters come in six different ways to cook; whether its baked, sweet & sour, black pepper, steamed, chili and their latest addition of kam heong (spicy soy sauce with curry leaves). If you're craving for something unique, you can opt for the cheese lobster, as it is one way to tease your appetite.

Ocean Green Restaurant

The Ocean Green Seafood Restaurant is a popular dining restaurant located off Jalan Sultan Ahmad Shah and overseeing the beach. Their seafood dishes (especially crabs) come in a variety of different cooking methods but from what he know, the cheese baked crabs is extremely delicious. To end the meal, the Kerabu Tang Hoon is a great choice, a lovely side combination to pair with all the heavy seafood.

Hai Boey Seafood

Hai Boey is a completely outdoor-styled restaurant with kampong-like roofs, live open kitchen, mini playground for kids and a scenic scenery of the sea. You can enjoy the cooling sea-salt breeze while dining the fresh seafood here - you would notice the many live fish tanks harbouring fresh seafood, from live fishes to king mantis prawn and even snow crabs. The Fried Brinjal is their bestseller dish to pair up with!

Bali Hai Seafood Market

Located along Gurney Drive, Bali Hai is another huge Chinese-based seafood eatery that boosts an impressive dining space, with a transparent glass from the kitchen, allowing customers to enjoy the live cooking from the chefs. It's pretty impressive to see the chefs utilizing the fresh seafood from the the large selection of aquariums as well. Thankfully, we believe Bali Hai isn't like any other tourist trap spot. Although their prices are hiked up a little, it's good to know that their food quality is still sky high and professionally prepared by the chefs.

Leong Hee Seafood

Flavour, flavour and flavour. That is what Leong Hee Seafood is all about. Not only are they priced affordably, their extensive array of items on the menu as well as the quality are evident. Indulge in a light and fragrant steamed ginger fish, or perhaps go for their savoury mix of yam and pork belly, whatever you pick, it's bound to be packed full of flavour. Leong Hee Seafood also constantly does parties and events, and with their wide array of dishes, it's best visited in a large group. All and all, just don't forget to have fun!

Ah Chui Seafood

Yes, Ah Chui Seafood may seem like a fairly boring place, but what's really nice about it is the display of kitchen out in the open. Here, you can see the magic happen, with a constant supply of fresh seafood, chefs whacking on the wok and screams of order from one end to another, nothing beats the joy of watching your food cook, right in front (or in this case, somewhere around the corner) of you. Also, don't forget to try out their signature grilled stingray, as well as the Lime Lala, chili crab and a fresh array of fishes cooked steamed-ginger style.

Restoran Fishing Village Seafood

Unlike the usual large and loud seafood eateries, Fishing Village Seafood is rather small in size but rest assured that their menu is very solid and best of all, with affordable prices. If you're running low on cash, the cheese oyster is a must-try since it only costs as low as RM4 each. For squid lovers, you can request to cook them in black pepper gravy style which is significantly exclusive at Fishing Village Seafood.

Sunshine Bay Seafood

Sunshine Bay Seafood Restaurant is located on the same stretch as Taman Bungah Post office. Like many others out there, it is a no-fuss restaurant where you would go purely to indulge in seafood and nothing else. The place is slightly shabby in comparison, but it is fairly comfortable and windy. As for their menu, it's pretty much what you can expect out of any seafood restaurants - steamed fish, black pepper crab, sambal squid so on and so forth. Most of what they have are cooked and seasoned quite nicely, so yeah, go for what you enjoy most!

Hao You Seafood (Teluk Kumbar Seafood - 公巴好友海鲜)

Tables by the sand, restaurant by the sea. Hao You Seafood Restaurant is another great place where you can enjoy a chilling (and possibly romantic) dining experience. The romantic part only works if your other half is a big fan of seafood. Thankfully, their standards of cooking matches their location. After all, you'll tend to expect more if a seafood restaurant is situated right next to the sea. Try out some of their signatures such as the baked lobsters, spicy ginger clams, salt baked crab, steamed grouper and many more!

Beach Corner Seafood

What's better than dining by the beach, surrounded by the serene sound of crashing waves, people walking by the bay and the lovely smell of the ocean? Accompanied by great food of course! Beach Corner Seafood Restaurant is one that can deliver both in terms of quality of food as well as ambiance. The setting is lovely and works great with larger groups as well. Menu is fairly huge with an abundance of seafood selection and various styles that goes well with them. Perfectly cooked and served by friendly staffs - what's not to love?

Ong Cheng Huat Seafood

Frankly, this restaurant is so popular that it has been featured a few times before by the media and local food shows! Ong Cheng Huat is famed for its well-acclaimed signature dishes; steamed red snapper, clams, prawn fritters, spring chicken and fried vermicelli. On the contrary, their menu is quite limited as they only provide around six to seven items. It's easy to tell how the dishes look like with the full-blown pictures pasted on the wall.

De Happy Seafood Restaurant

Located along Jalan Macalister, De Happy Seafood Restaurant is another really nice place where you can enjoy a wide range of seafood dishes, which includes an awesome selection of crabs. It's also a fairly fancy restaurant with two different settings available; air-conditioned and open-aired. The restaurant features a huge menu, which is great for those who fancies variety. From deep fry to steamed, as well as a wide selection of style and sauces to compliment, there's just so much to try here at De Happy Seafood Restaurant.

QE-II Waterfront Venue

Dining by the sea is truly an experience not to be forgotten and you can do so here at QE-II Waterfront Venue. Located in Church Street, this restaurant stretches out to the ocean by the make-shift docks. There are both outdoor seating and air-conditioned ones. To those who are seated outdoors, not to worry as it is really windy out there! which makes it a perfect spot for a late-night hangout over a glass of wine. The food here is pretty good too as they lean towards a more semi-casual dining. Good seafood choices cooked beautifully, friendly service and a fantastic ambiance.

323 Seafood Restaurant

If you're looking for a restaurant with a stunning view, then 323 Seafood Restaurant might just be the place of visit. Located along the shores of Jalan Gangsa Butterworth, this restaurant is actually a rather old and well, not very nice place. The two great things about this restaurant are the view and the food. Serving fresh seafood is what they aspire to do, as well as packing those dishes with flavour. Most of the dishes are cooked quite nicely. Overcooking is at a minimal and flavours are on point. It's also fairly affordable, which makes it a really popular place for young families.

TaiTong Seafood Restaurant

TaiTong is fairly well-known to the Penangites for their great seafood dishes, but most importantly, it's located next to a fishing village, so the freshness of every single seafood is guaranteed from fishes like groupers to more extravagant ones like crustaceans.

Da Shu Xia Seafood House

Literally translates into "Under the big Tree" Seafood House, this nature-incorporated restaurant is another established eatery in the heart of George Town, Penang. If anything, its like a combination of a shack, together with a really old alley and its outgrown vines, merged into something comforting. Heck, even their dishes are a little off the charts. Uniquely crafted dishes such as the 3 flavor Golden Threadfin Bream, Two Way Spinach, Slipper Lobster seasoned with only salt and pepper, and coconut seafood curry. In short, it's unique, tasty and well, not all that affordable.

Oriental Seafood

Oriental Seafood may be a fairly generic name, but rest assured that what they offer is not as boring. Like some of available restaurants in Penang, it's located by the shore on a dock extended from the beach. All the tables are set within that dock and it sure is breezy inside. Couple that up with some delicious seafood as well as a view of the ocean and you have yourself a date-night treat. Plenty to choose from, cooked nicely and priced rather horribly - that is what Oriental Seafood is all about.

Daily Fish Restaurant

Just like the name, Daily Fish Restaurant offers the freshest seafood dishes, whether fish or crustacean to be fresh and acquired from the sea daily! Located on the piers of Thean Teik, you can enjoy your fresh seafood dishes while basked in the sweet scent of the ocean with your family and friends.
