This subterranean spot specializes in the bounty beneath the waves. Clams bathed in bean sauce are a rich, palate-expanding opener. If you ask for fish, you’ll first be invited to meet it, proffered tableside in a bucket for your approval. And if there’s one dish that single-handedly illustrates the prowess of this peach, it’s the Cantonese-style lobster with scallions. Lavishly glazed in a sumptuous, vibrant heap, it’s the kind of treasure you could only hope to find under the sea.
