The signature dish at multiple stalls. Fresh stingray is splayed on a banana leaf and grilled over charcoal until the flesh is just cooked, then slathered with spicy sambal (chilli paste) mixed with tamarind for tang. The combination of char, tenderness, and heat defines this dish.
Tips from diners
Ask the stall how spicy the sambal is before committing. Some versions are mildly spiced; others are genuinely incendiary.
Don't be intimidated by the texture or appearance. The meat is tender, flavourful, and nothing like typical fish. Worth trying at least once.
Small clams grilled in their shells until they open. Often served with garlic butter or lightly seasoned sambal. The char brings out sweetness in the flesh.
Tips from diners
Cockles are small but sweet. Usually served as a 'hot plate' dish where meat and sauce are mixed together. Eat with a toothpick or fork.
A simple, effective preparation. Whole white fish is grilled until the skin crisps and flesh flakes easily, then topped with sambal. Often served with rice as a complete meal.
Tips from diners
Order this with a plate of rice. The sambal and fish juices on rice is a complete, satisfying meal.
Whole squid or squid tentacles grilled until slightly charred on the outside but still tender inside. Often served with sambal or chilli sauce.
Tips from diners
The key to good grilled squid is timing — overcooked squid becomes rubber. Fresh squid from quality stalls stays tender.
Grouper is a premium white fish with delicate, sweet flavour. Grilled whole and served with minimal seasoning to let the fish flavour shine.
Tips from diners
Grouper is pricier but worth it for the delicate, flaky texture. Order if you want to splurge on quality fish.
