VerdictSustainable harbour catch; try the mahi-mahi pork knuckle
A fair-faced concrete seafood restaurant beside Chenggong Fishing Harbour that champions sustainably caught fish. The menu shifts with the seasons, from flying fish overnight-dried in spring and summer to mahi-mahi sashimi in autumn and winter, plus braised pork knuckle with sun-dried mahi-mahi, a harbour tradition.
Review
Qi Yu Hai Wei is on Gangbian Road in Chenggong Township, right beside Chenggong Fishing Harbour, the largest on the east coast, and its fair-faced concrete building stands out among the harbour's small shops. Smile Taiwan and other media note that the restaurant emphasises sustainable fishing and builds its dishes around local catch and wild seaweed, and a Yam Travel guide to Changbin and Chenggong also recommends it, making it one of Chenggong's signature seafood restaurants.
The menu changes with the seasons: flying fish dried overnight in spring and summer, mahi-mahi sashimi in autumn and winter, plus local shellfish such as triangle whelks. The most talked-about dish is braised pork knuckle cooked with sun-dried mahi-mahi, a Chenggong harbour tradition, and media also mention fried mahi-mahi, brown sugar swordfish and wild seaweed dishes. There is no published full price list; diners mention a two-person set as well as à la carte, and prices follow the menu on site.
Fans praise the fresh catch, cooking that keeps the taste of the sea and thickly cut sashimi, with views of the harbour and the Coastal Mountain Range while you eat; some call it one of the best seafood meals on the east coast, and some recommend pairing it with Taitung red oolong tea. Critics note that set portions differ from à la carte and should be checked first, some met cool service, and prices are higher than typical harbour snack stalls.
Online listings show hours of about 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., while one outlet gives a 10 a.m. opening and no fixed day off is listed; check before you go. Weekend lunchtimes are busy, so arrive early. There is parking around the harbour, and in the afternoon you can also watch the fish auction at Chenggong Harbour.
It suits travellers on Provincial Highway 11 who want local east coast seafood, and those who care about sustainable fish. Order the seasonal sashimi and the pork knuckle with dried mahi-mahi, plus a wild seaweed dish; groups can choose a set, but ask what it includes before ordering.
