Lei Yue Mun Seafood Price Guide 2027 — What Things Really Cost
How to eat at Hong Kong's most famous seafood street without getting overcharged. Lei Yue Mun (鯉魚門) is a working fishing village in eastern Kowloon where restaurants display live seafood in tanks and cook whatever you pick. That model is excellent — if you know the prices. This guide covers what fish costs per person, how the buy-then-cook system works, which restaurants are fair, and the traps to avoid.
🔑 The Golden Rule of Lei Yue Mun
You pick the fish from the tank → the restaurant weighs it → you pay by the catty → they cook it for a set fee per person. Every restaurant uses this model. The fish price is where the markup hides. Know the benchmarks below and you cannot be overcharged.
