Hi all, just wondering is there anywhere in Malaysia worth travelling to for cheap seafood? Just came back from Bangkok and the seafood there is so cheap. Now looking to travel locally for cheap seafood.

Anyone got any places to recommend?

Went to pulau ketam, I think the price there might be more expensive or about the same in Klang. Maybe it's because I don't have any friend there and maybe I look like a tourist 🤔

More like asking if the price is ok nowadays. BTW I think Teluk Gong is no longer that secluded and eat seafood right? Travelling a little is kind of a must biggrin.gif I find certain seafood places in Kuala Selangor/Banting more secluded.

Good for large river prawns and fresh vegetables like cabbage and paku.
Just went to Sun Mei Fong last weekend. They serve no pork. The other restaurants on the same row do.

Do restaurants in Tanjung Tualang serve fresh water fish or sea water fish?

For fresh water fish, Sauk near Kuala Kangsar is another option.

You don't want cheap seafood, you want fresh.

Go to any nearby seafood restaurant where you can choose your own seafood, still swimming before cook.

The money you save from petrol/toll or plane ticket already made up the difference.

Because you go tourist trap places.

At Semporna last year a portion of 4 people got big grouper, live crabs, prawns with rice & drinks for less then RM100.

Of course if you eat the Semporna town center where many tourist the price is same or even higher then KL. This I can confirm
