JiaLi Seafood, Zengcuoan (佳丽海鲜)

JiaLi Seafood, Zengcuoan (佳丽海鲜) is a seafood restaurant at the Zengcuoan end of Huandao Road in Siming District, Xiamen, Fujian Province, China. Zengcuoan is a coastal village on the southeastern shore of Xiamen Island that has become a popular dining and snack district, and the restaurant is one of several seafood venues serving the visitors who come for the seafront. The cuisine is Fujian seafood in the casual, choose-your-own style typical of the region, with no star-chef or Michelin context.

The format is the standard Fujian seafood arrangement: diners choose live seafood and pick the cooking method. Fish, shellfish and other catch are displayed in tanks or trays, weighed and priced by weight, and then steamed, stir-fried or cooked to the diner's preference. Listed signature dishes include steamed fish, which lets the freshness of the fish show with minimal seasoning, and stir-fried clams and shellfish. Because the final bill depends on the weight and species selected, it is important to confirm the weight and price at the tank before the dish is cooked.

The dining room is casual, functional and often loud, with large round tables suited to groups and families, and a steady flow of customers at peak times. Dress is casual. Seafood restaurants of this type commonly serve beer, tea and soft drinks, and the venue is not known for a wine programme.

Reservations are not strictly required, as the restaurant welcomes walk-ins, but calling ahead is advisable for weekends and holidays, when the Zengcuoan area is crowded. A listed phone number is +86 592 219 5777. Typical spending is about ¥100-200 per person (approx. $15-29), though live seafood choices can push the total higher. Hours vary by branch and season, so checking Amap (高德地图) or Dianping (大众点评) before going is sensible. The location along Huandao Road makes it easy to pair a seafood meal with a seaside walk and a visit to the nearby Zengcuoan snack lanes.
