Experience one of Pattaya's most intriguing dining spots — a former parasailing business turned floating restaurant. Here, guests are encouraged to partake in a thrilling fishing adventure, explicitly targeting their freshest and most coveted ingredient: squid. Once you've successfully hooked your prize, the restaurant's dedicated waitstaff will swiftly transport it to the kitchen, where skilled chefs will artfully prepare it to suit your preferences. Savor the incredible freshness of sashimi-style squid, possibly still in motion, or have it grilled and topped with lime or stir-fried in various ways. A view, an adventure, and great food. What else could you want?

Gonna be honest with everyone here, if you're eating live squid shot in the city? you are at a risk for getting parasites. I'm a Thai guy and born there, also a former cook. It's still considered an illegal menu in the country. Sashimi menu on the other hand, is still cleaner and the bad bits were cut off before we eat it. Salted Yolk stir fired octopus/squid menu is the most recommended one when you visit Thailand, it's salty and sweet in just right.

People are so ignorant to how the rest of the world works. This is awesome and glad they are making something of themselves! Will be visiting on my Thailand trip.
