Smart Fish 林聰明沙鍋魚頭 (光華店), Taiwan
When in Chiayi, the eatery that came strongly recommended was Smart Fish. The outlet that we went to for lunch was the branch, just around the corner from its headquarters.
We had to queue up for about 30 minutes before we managed to get a seat. If a restaurant is packed with locals, it has to be good!
As Smart Fish is famous for its casserole fish head, of course that was what we savoured, among other dishes.
Similar to the experience of my very first meal in Taiwan at 斗六門當歸鴨麵線, I had difficulty ordering my food. So, my lunch here was what my tour guide wanted me to eat. What? Did you expect me to pick up Mandarin in a matter of days? Oh, I wished!
Have a look at my lunch of turkey rice together with casserole fish head and fresh vegetables. If only I could state all their names as listed in the menu.

Hi Emily!
I was so smitten with the episode about the smart fish restaurant (As I was with all). I saw that they do online orders but when I went on the website of course I didn’t understand it. Would you know how I can order through their website and still understand what I’m ordering. Thanks for sharing your experience with us.
Hi Latrina,
I can’t read Mandarin myself, so I am afraid that the only advice I can give is to use the translator. Hope it helps.
