Late Night
“This informal, yet culinarily serious, temple of local seafood presents its star attractions with great finesse. The lingcod and sour-cabbage hotpot alone is worth a trip. But then, so are the various preparations of grouper, white sea bass and geoduck. Don’t miss the two dozen types of beer-friendly barbecue skewers. The restaurant is boisterous and convivial.”

CAPTAIN’S SEAFOOD TANK
We believe in building strong relationships with our seafood harvesters. Our principle is to move the freshest seafood from their hands to the table for our loyal and new customers. The respect for the fishmonger and their understanding of sustainability is important as most of our fish is local and seasonal, allowing the seafood time to reproduce and protection from overfishing.
CREATIVE DISHES
The dishes at our restaurant are based on the foundation of umami (Japanese definition of ‘savoury’) which drives the taste as you can still experience the balance with sweetness. The inventiveness and playfulness of the cuisine is the authentic use of charcoal for grilling with Sichuan spices, along with the traditional Cantonese style of steaming fish in between chopsticks as a method for steam to escape.
