Ladies and Gentlemen:

We are acting as United States counsel to Pingtan Marine Enterprise Ltd., an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Company”), in connection with the Company’s filings of a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-248620) (the “Registration Statement”) filed on September 4, 2020, and declared effective on September 15, 2020, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and further in connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement dated March 3, 2021 (the “Agreement”) for the issuance and sale of 3,625,954 ordinary shares, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Ordinary Shares”) together with warrants to purchase up to 2,719,464 Ordinary Shares at an exercise price of $1.31 per share (the “Warrants”) in connection with the offering (the “Offering”). This opinion is furnished to you at your request in accordance with the requirements of Item 16 of the Commission’s Form S-3 and Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act.

We have examined certain governing documents of the Company, records of proceedings of the Board of Directors, or committees thereof, and records of proceedings of the shareholders, deemed by us to be relevant to this opinion letter, the Registration Statement and the Prospectus Supplement dated March 5, 2021, filed with the Commission on March 5, 2021, pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5) under the Securities Act (the “Prospectus Supplement”). We also have made such further legal and factual examinations and investigations as we deemed necessary for purposes of expressing the opinion set forth herein. In rendering such opinion, we have relied as to factual matters upon the representations, warranties and other statements made in the Agreement.

As to certain factual matters relevant to this opinion letter, we have relied conclusively upon originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such records, agreements, documents and instruments, including certificates or other comparable documents of officers of the Company and of public officials, as we have deemed appropriate as a basis for the opinion hereinafter set forth. Except to the extent expressly set forth herein, we have made no independent investigations with regard to matters of fact, and, accordingly, we do not express any opinion as to matters that might have been disclosed by independent verification.

This opinion letter is provided to the Company for its use solely in connection with the Offering and may not be used, circulated, quoted or otherwise relied upon for any other purpose without our express written consent.
