Official websiteplm.org.hk→On the islands, people come first for the seafood: in Sok Kwu Wan (Lamma) or at Cheung Chau harbour, you pick your fish and shellfish from the tanks before they are cooked. Many small stalls, cafés and fish restaurants have no website: we only list places with an official website here. Book at weekends, and check the time of the last ferry before sitting down to eat.
