So fresh they are still swimming
Review of King Seafood Restaurant, Walking Street, Pattaya by
stravaig
Advantages: Great ambience with a view of the bay, excellent food, very good service
Disadvantages: Horrible touristy area - sleaze on steroids
To get to King seafood restaurant - situated in Pattaya's Walking Street, notorious for its "nightlife" - you have to run the gauntlet of pimps, touts, rip-off merchants, "service girls", "freelancers", and lady-boys until you see the huge neon sign proclaiming that the fish are so fresh "they are still swimming". Walking Street, as usual, was throbbing with people wanting to part the unwary tourist from their cash. Suit, sir? Sex show?. Neon lights ... ...bother? Because King seafood restaurant would make it into my top ten of restaurants in the world. It's worth it! Believe me, we've tried to find as good or better elsewhere but…
"…nothing compares, nothing compares…" (Sinead O'Connor)
I seem to be in a musical mood today. Makes a change from cooking, I suppose. Go a little way down Walking Street, past the Lobster Pot - which looks pretty similar to King from the outside, but the food just isn't ...
