OLD FISHERMAN SEAFOOD

The dishes at the Old Fisherman Seafood Restaurant are very classic. Boiled seafood is already delicious, and I didn't expect this chef to be even better. This restaurant has been open for more than ten years. No wonder it still stands. Great!

The taste is great, the seafood is fresh, people from Yangzhou come here to taste it.

Food is the most important thing for people. The restaurant is indeed good, but it is probably tiring and requires getting up early and going to bed late. You can consider fast, convenient, and low per capita consumption. Note that the kitchen should be clean and hygienic, with glass partitions so that customers can see it and feel more at ease.

A very good restaurant with a lot of seafood and many varieties, it is worth tasting.
