A 300m stretch of Wanghai Road just west of Shekou Sea World, lined with 15+ open-air seafood restaurants pulling from the same fresh tanks. The drill: walk past the tanks, point at what you want (a kg of king prawns ~150 RMB, fresh lobster ~400 RMB, oysters by the dozen ~80 RMB), pick a cooking method (steamed with ginger-scallion is Cantonese classic, stir-fried with black bean, deep-fried with chili and garlic), and they'll bring it to your table within 30 min. The view is the bay; Hong Kong's New Territories are visible on a clear day. Per-person 150-300 RMB depending on order. Most restaurants take Visa/Master + Alipay. Reservation Friday-Saturday recommended; weekday walk-in is fine.

SeafoodLover_HK·TripAdvisor·5/5
Pick your own live seafood, point at how you want it cooked, eat on plastic stools facing the harbor. Half the price of Hong Kong, twice the freshness.

蛇口海鲜街，深圳本地人吃海鲜首选。挑活鲜+店家加工费15-20元/份。比香港便宜一半，新鲜度爆表。

Cash-friendly chaos. Bring small bills, expect haggling. The mantis shrimp and steamed clams are unreal. Don't trust the laminated picture menus.

Filmed three episodes here — Lubowan is the most authentic seafood night-market left in southern China. Skip the tourist places, go where locals queue.

蛇口渔人码头，地铁2号线海上世界站走15分钟。建议两人来吃，¥200一桌满满当当。
