For high end seafood, some people thing the standards are Yu, in the Intercontinental, and the Lobster Bar in the Island Shangri-La. Hotel resturants in the high end hotels generally have a very high quality product in HKG, unlike a lot of other cities.

Thank you for the excellent advice ... I will put it to good use for my next trip to HKG (in May). The Intercontinental was making a big deal about some famous chef returning to one of their restaurants, I think it was Yu, so I will try that next time, along with the other extreme. I am still amazed that it can taste so good; and I don't speak a single word of Chinese, but I found that gestures work surprisingly well and the people are extremely friendly even when there is no language in common. I'm now trying to figure out how to make more trips to Hong Kong (it is rather far from anywhere, even Tokyo is a 4 hour flight).
