The centerpiece is a massive indoor aquarium filled with live fish like sea bream, flounder, and horse mackerel, surrounded by a large boat structure. Guests receive fishing rods and bait to catch their own meal from the tanks. Staff celebrate each catch with chants and photos, creating a festive vibe. No fishing skills required—staff assist, and fishing is optional with an extensive menu available.
