Lin Xiong Seafood

Buying fresh seafood requires knowing what you're looking at—whether the fish has clear eyes and firm flesh, whether the source is legitimate, whether the handler knows the difference between species or is just moving stock. Lin Xiong Seafood operates in a market where customer experience varies wildly depending on how seriously a vendor treats their cold chain and their suppliers. Experienced retailers maintain relationships with genuine fishing operations rather than black-market dealers, keep their displays genuinely cold, and understand which fish suit which cooking methods. In Cape Town, where seafood literacy runs high, this attention to standards separates places where regulars return from those where people shop once and don't come back.
