A trip to Kenting just isn't complete without seafood, and the most famous seafood restaurant in Kenting has to be ”A-Xing Sashimi (阿興生魚片)“. But every weekend the line is enormous — you can't always get in when you want to. Shang An Live Seafood sits right across the street from A-Xing (Google Maps link), so if you're craving seafood but got turned away at A-Xing, consider coming here instead. You'll get equally good seafood — it holds a 4.8-star Google rating, and overall everything we ate was very fresh and tasty.
In fact, the seafood restaurants around Houbihu all sell very cheap sashimi while their stir-fried seafood dishes run on the pricier side, so I'd say sashimi lovers get the best value dining here.
- Recommendation: ⭐⭐⭐
- Dining environment: ⭐⭐⭐

Shang An Live Seafood: Another Way to Enjoy Seafood in Kenting
Shang An Live Seafood is right across from A-Xing Sashimi, with its own parking lot and restrooms. Honestly, the dining space is more spacious and brighter than A-Xing's.
The seafood displayed at the entrance is pricier, but you can tell it's all very fresh, and customers are free to pick what they like.
Shang An Live Seafood offers two parking lots with six or seven spaces in total — fairly convenient.
Inside, the dining area is bright and spacious.
The restroom is outdoors — you walk out of the restaurant and around to the back door to use it.
Shang An Live Seafood Menu & Prices
The two of us ordered five dishes this time, which came out to about NT$500~600 per person — with a bigger group the per-person cost can come down a bit.
The star of the show, the sashimi, is very cheap, but the stir-fried dishes are priced at typical tourist-area levels with average portions. What we ordered was just right for a couple.
Shang An Live Seafood: White Shrimp｜Sashimi｜Stir-Fried Water Lotus｜Basil Clams｜Clam Soup
The sashimi was genuinely fresh and delicious, the white shrimp tasted wonderfully fresh, and the basil clams went great with rice. The stir-fried water lotus was a bit ordinary, and the clam soup was rather bland — my guess is they went light on the salt to let the clams' natural sweetness shine through.
