Addiction Aquatic Development 上引水產@Taiwan ★★★

Reasonably Priced Seafood in Taipei, Taiwan. Freshness and all. Seafood Platter was awesome. Live Lobster Sashimi was a bomb. You can also make the Lobster head into Miso Soup after you finish the Sashimi. Very crowded. They have different areas for different types of food inside the market: raw bar, sushi bar, and hot pot. 1-2 hours wait for the standing sushi bar. You can just take a ticket and eat in another area while you wait for the sushi bar. It's all worth it. They don't provide water. Please bring yourself a bottle of water.

Hizen-Ya Unadon Speciality Shop 肥前屋@Taiwan ★★★

Best Unagi in Taipei. Fresh unagi that is never frozen. Authentic chef from Japan. About 30-45 minute waiting in line, but it's all well worth it. Their non-unagi dishes, such as Assorted Sashimi, Tempura, & Fried Oyster, were good too. We visited this restaurant twice in one trip. That's how heavenly good it is.
