Weld Quay Seafood, Penang

The seafood restaurants along Weld Quay and surrounding streets in George Town offer the freshest Penang seafood experience — live mantis prawns, flower crabs, clams fried with XO sauce, and steamed pomfret with ginger and spring onion at prices that make the quality seem almost implausible. Eating here on a warm evening overlooking the Strait of Malacca is a deeply Penang experience.
