Taste Buds Stimulants

Since Pangkor is an island, naturally, it is a must to try all the seafood products here. We have all kinds of crabs, fishes & shelled creatures; Big crabs, small crabs, blue crabs, green crabs, red crabs; Kampung fish, pomfret, ikan bilis, ikan tenggiri, you name it.


Due to the fact there is a daily catch from the sea, there'll always be leftovers after market traders select the fishes and crabs they'd like to purchase. So, what do the fishermen do with these leftovers? Some of them bring it home to their wives as prized catches. Some dry them on the wooden planks outside their homes for several days, package it and sell it as snacks and delicacies, commonly known as 'satay'. We have satay jellyfish, sotong & fish on sticks. Hmmm! Yummy! Once you taste it, it'll definitely leave you wanting for more!


Apart from that, almost every restaurant here sells seafood as the main dish. Walk into any shop and you'll be able to get all kinds of seafood cooked according to the styles you fancy. Steamed, fried, curried, deep fried, Thai Style, tomyam style, thick gravy, diluted gravy, soups, and even grilled on charcoal & wrapped in freshly plucked banana leaves! It is definitely a culinary heaven for seafood lovers.
