One of the best things is live seafood. Sadly in Asia it is also a huge market, resulting in whole reefs being sprayed with Cyanide, which sort of knocks out the fish so the divers can put them alive in their nets, but also kills the rest of the reef.
Anyway, if you live in an area where the catch is still moving, it's fucking fabulous. We where taking out about 1000kg of live Blue Crabs every day from the ocean, putting them straight into the steaming pots next to the beach while they where moving, and it's the best breakfast ever!
A funny and very popular dish in Asia is "Drunken Prawns".
You take live Prawns and chuck them into a pot with Brandy for a few minutes. That's where the "Drunk" comes from. After that you put them onto a fire in that same pot with the Brandy and heat them up. Flambee them a little bit, eh voila, ready.
Peel and eat.
