When you hear the word Bali, maybe the beach comes to mind. Of course, the cuisine that is suitable to be enjoyed on the beach is seafood. However, eating seafood in Bali doesn’t have to be to Jimbaran or Kuta, or just places near the beach.
Seafood culinary tours in Bali are now available in various places. Like the stalls and restaurants, visitors always leave positive comments. Which one is at the top of your must-visit list?
1. Hippie Fish
Hippie Fish is located not far from Puri Ubud, precisely in front of Ubud Market. The place is instagrammable with cosy sofas and an interior that reminds you of the hills in Santorini, Greece. The crowds are pretty crowded in the afternoon because there’s a cocktail promo, so choose your meal time carefully.
Location: Jl. Raya Ubud No. 14, Ubud, Kec. Ubud, Gianyar regency.
Opening Hours: Daily, 11.30 am to 10.30 pm
Price: Starting from IDR 65,000 for 1 portion of prawns
2. Sambal Shrimp
Besides prawns, Sambal Shrimp is also famous for its extraordinarily delicious crab dishes. One serving of ‘Swimmer Crab in Mt. Devil Chili’ or ‘Crab Lava Soup’ is enough for two to three people, but foreign tourists can finish it themselves because it’s so delicious! This quite luxurious seafood restaurant in Bali also presents Balinese dance performances on certain nights.

3. Warung Lais
At Warung Lais, you can make a particular reservation, plus a signboard or greeting according to the event you want to celebrate. If you prefer to eat at home for certain events, you can order the tumpeng, the ‘megibung’ package (eating together on banana leaves), or the ‘ngejot’ package (a bowl of boxed rice with besek). The menu is varied and satisfying!

4. Kerang Kerung
Even though it provides various types of seafood such as squid and prawns, Kerang Kerung is truly a shellfish specialist. There are various types of shellfish, including green clams, virgin clams, oyster shells, and full-blooded clams.
