If you're a big fan of seafood, this is your ultimate place to go.

Addiction Aquatic Development is formerly known to be the Taipei Fish Market is now converted to a wholesale supermarket which is selling fresh produce and also vacuums packed seafood for travel convenient.

The place also packed with a standing sushi bar, sushi station, florist and also an outdoor grill restaurant.

As many things to see and explore, the place is filled with vibrant and lively atmosphere. The highly visited place but tourist made the place extremely energetic and exciting for everyone to feast on their eyes. AAD also went an extra mile to ensure your shopping experience is top-notch by allocating sufficient staff to fulfil your inquiry and assistance.

The place is 24-7 packed with visitors from all over the place where it is almost impossible for you to shop in peace. However, it is hard to blame on anyone because of its crazily tempting looking products displayed on the shelves. I could barely able to control my spending and ended up broke a hole in my pocket.

Due to the high demand of sushi box, they are constantly refilling freshly made sushi from the kitchen. Packed and served nicely on the sushi counter. As a quick tip, of all the product, salmon sushi ran out of stock the quickest. So, please do purchase it as soon as you see them!

The price of the sushi is affordable and served with exceptionally high-quality control. I even found a tray of Japanese imported white strawberries which are price NTD 1580 (44.30 Euro).

We ordered a platter of sashimi with premium tuna belly, salmon belly, scallops, sea urchin, sashimi prawns and fresh oysters from France and Italy. Without any second doubt after tasting our sashimi platter, we had no choice but to order another sea urchin hand-rolls to satisfy our cravings of creamy and buttery melting sea goodness.

Due to the limited seats available, the sushi bar was extremely crowded. Hence, we did not want to stay too long. But we decided to visit the place again the next day for their outdoor barbecue.

The total bill came to around NTD 3600 ( 106.73 Euro).

We knew that the barbecue is the ultimate hot spot. We arrived an hour earlier to secure our seat, we are the first to enter the restaurant. We decided on king crab legs, king prawns, lamb, pork and vegetable skewers.

When we were brought with the setup filled with hot stones, we are getting excited and looking forward to our precious lunch. Soon right after we started to devour our feast, the crowd are started flooding in. All of the food served were crazily tender, juicy and flavorful which makes us longing for more. However, we couldn't fit in anymore as we already had sushi before while waiting for the restaurant to start operating.

The final bill came to around 2500 NTD (70 Euro).

Oh I wanted to have seafood in Taipei but I was in my solo trip back then, have to save cost. The sashimi looks great!!

It is the best seafood I've had so far in my life. Please do check out the place if you're there next time :D

Sure! will do!

Wow they look so good! I thought it was Japan for awhile.

Thank you very much. It is no doubt extraordinary good! And that is really smart of you! I have the same thoughts as well. After a step I entered the store doorstep, I imagined I am in Japan. But, it came to my mind that Taiwan has very strong influence from Japan from the past.

Do follow me if it's interesting, I will keep posting travel articles.

It kept thinking in my mind as well. I've always been dreaming to go back Taipei, just to have this incredible meals. Yes, I will do! Please stay tuned to my next blog post :))

This is an awesome post!! I absolutely love food and one of my favourite types is seafood. We actually have a seafood market in Sydney but it's getting pretty old and run-down. They're planning a refurbishment shortly and wow I hope it has all the features that AAD has!

Did you prefer the BBQ or fresh seafood? Also, it's interesting the oysters are imported from France and Italy, is this because they are premium oysters or can you not get fresh oysters in Taiwan?

Really enjoyed this post! Keep it up...I've recently reviewed a seafood restaurant in my own blog as well, check it out if you like. From a fellow foodie... @phamished :)

Thank you @phamished! Seafood is just absolutely amazing. I can't live without them. That sounds great that you're taking their concept into consideration. Personally, I couldn't choose either of them because they are so distinctive with their own unique characteristics. But I do love how barbecue with charcoal gives it an extra smoky flavour yet retaining the juicy fresh taste of the seafood.

They actually offer a wide range of oysters as well as local oysters but I prefer French oysters because it's more succulent and bigger in size.

I will definitely check it out! Once again, thank you :)

True, I can never say no to anything cooked over charcoal anywhere I go, for the exact same reasons you said :). You're welcome, glad to meet more foodie's on Steemit - looking forward to your next post!

I'm salivating @explorernations

Interesting to sea the seafood spread over there. I would loooove to taste the king crab legs (as much as everything else). In Australia we only get ones which have been frozen for a while. Were they fresh? I'm currently in Paris and seafood in generally amazing here too! I'll post something about it sometime for you.

Keep the posts coming :)

Yes, it's fresh king crabs. However, they do have frozen ones.
Great, Paris is a very nice city. Do try out the Ramen there, somehow it's extremely good especially having it during cold weather. I could provide you with some recommendations if you want.

Sure! I'll keep posting related travel and eateries articles.
