For high end seafood, some people thing the standards are Yu, in the Intercontinental</font>
For completeness here is the description of Yu (and because it took me quite a while to find this description of Yu -- somehow it didn't occur to me to check the hotel's web site). The guidebooks (Fodors, etc.) seem to recap the same information. Cost is in the USD 100 per diner range, but given the cost of obtaining the fish (flown in from around the world) and the care with which it is kept, that is reasonable. Rather strange to have Boston lobster in Hong Kong, though (sometimes flown in fresh on the same flight as the diners, no doubt). I did find the description of the fish tank system quite amazing.
