Yulaoda Organic Fish Restaurant (Old Town Third-Generation Heritage Branch)
渔老大·有机鱼馆（古城三代传承店）
A long-established fish restaurant beside Taining's Old Town, famous for its one-fish-many-ways dishes and fish-head white broth. It is listed as a dinner pick on Sanming's official food map.
Also on Zuosheng Road beside the Old Town, the Taining stop on Sanming's official food map lists it as a dinner pick, calling it an 'old-brand restaurant of the Old Town.' Its specialty is Dajinhu organic fish cooked many ways: the head in a white broth or with chopped chili, the body braised in red sauce, the fillets fried in hot oil or spicy, and the bones tossed in salt and pepper. Most diners say the fish soup is fresh and almost free of any muddy taste, though some find the salt-and-pepper fish bones a bit mild. Other Taining snacks include Youjiang tofu, biyu rolls (jade rolls), nuangu buns and xiancao paste (grass jelly). There are outdoor seats, late-night snacks are served in the evening, and solo diners can order small portions. It gets very busy during peak season, so avoid main meal rush hours. Average spend is about CNY 50 to 80 per person, depending on the size of the fish you choose.
