Long Beach Seafood Restaurant (Simplified Chinese: 长堤海鲜楼) is a restaurant-chain in Singapore best known for creating the original black pepper crabs. The main restaurant is located along the East Coast Parkway, with three other branches in Marina South, IMM Building and at the East Coast Seafood Centre.
The restaurant has been in existence since the 1940s with its first outlet at Bedok Resthouse, and has helped shape Singapore's local seafood culinary tastes. Besides the black pepper crabs, it also lays claim to being the first restaurant in Singapore to serve live seafood, and its menu of barbecued tilapia, drunken prawns and crispy duck have become common dishes in other contemporary seafood restaurants .
