Meet Marlin, Chenggong

A recent addition to Chenggong’s atmospheric fishing port, this friendly family-run restaurant serves top notch seafood with sea views. The owners have made the most of their location with huge windows overlooking the harbor, but most importantly the sashimi, fried mahi mahi and orange salad are all excellent.
