Few months back (yes I know, such a delayed post) I was in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah and we had a Seafood night out with Sabah Tourism Board at Kampung Nelayan Floating Seafood Market Restaurant.

fresh crabs, fish and huge aquarium to display. These seafood are soon to be in our stomach! This place is a tourist attraction besides it’s fresh seafood, it’s a floating restaurant above the lake.

This is how you eat it. With a tooth pick pull the stuffing out and dip into the chili sauce and eat it.

Chew them nicely it’s bouncy and quite tough. Lastly don’t forget to leave the last part of the tail out. You can’t eat em.

the famous dish on our table is the deep fried soft-shell crabs. We’re so in love with it, the whole dish was finished within a few minutes after it was placed on our table.
