Seafood, Po Tai O

When I was based in HK years ago, Po Tai O 布袋澳 (not the island, but at Clearwater Bay) was a decent un-touristy bet to go for good seaside seafood. A couple of years later, I wonder if those restaurants there are still good. I remember both, Fai Kee 发记酒家 and the other one, I forgot the name, served both good food with an ok price tag.

Openrice is pretty undecided on them and surprisingly a Lantau Island restaurant is in the lead for seaside seafood.

So, Hong Kongers, what's your opinion on the two Po Tai O restaurants and what restaurant would you recommend for seafood outside KWL and HK island right now?

Thank you!

They're affordable and the quality is good. It's less crowded since there are only 2 key restaurants, although I've read way too many incidents in the papers about Fai Kee to even consider them.

I'll answer my own question and highly recommend Haixiandao restaurant. We had fantastic seafood (delicious crab included) for a pretty reasonable price. Make a resevation at weekends.

They do have an English name: Seafood Island, and to make this thread easier to search in the future, the area is spelled Po Toi O.
