Beidaihe's food is also varied, including Sichuan cuisine, Shandong cuisine, Northeast cuisine, Korean cuisine, Western cuisine and Japanese cuisine. Those who are not used to seafood need not worry at all.
But in general, all hotels will have seafood. Larger hotels have aquariums to breed live seafood, and smaller hotels also have all kinds of chilled seafood.
Special instructions:
In summer, hotels, restaurants, food stalls and seafood barbecues in Beidaihe are all over the streets. You need to pay attention to three things:
First, steal the beam and change the column. Everyone has seen the video of the seafood market swap in the WeChat circle in the past two years. The female trader's proficiency in changing bags is like eating noodles. Imagine how many bags she needs to drop to practice so well. The same is true of Beidaihe. Some hotels replace the crabs brought by their guests and exchange the dead crabs for the live crabs you brought.
Second, short weight is needed. I bought Pipi shrimp at Shitang Road Market. I once met a businessman who asked for 20 pounds, but I changed it to 30 pounds after knowing that I was a local. This is a brain teaser. Please think it over for yourself.
Third, shoddy, many tourists told me that there were too many dried seafood additives bought from Shitang Road Market to eat, and everyone who gave them away was scolded.
4. Deceive and kill customers. I once heard a man who opened a food stall say that he could sell a fish in the aquarium for a summer. Even if he falls dead in front of the guests, you won't eat the fish that just died.
I wonder how many black-hearted businessmen will cry on the beach. In fact, these phenomena are not the patent of Beidaihe, but all the tourist attractions in the country. Qingdao prawn is the best example, so more and more people choose to buy seafood and cook it themselves. It is gratifying that in the past two years, the relevant departments of Beidaihe government have begun to vigorously rectify the bad behavior of the tourism market. The standard is even refined to the point where selling crabs is divided into life and death. Electronic scales should be calibrated randomly every day. Once the violation is found, it will be closed directly, with unprecedented strength, hoping to play a deterrent role.
In fact, locals don't go to those places near the sea for dinner. Here, I would like to introduce some places where local people often eat, and explain that the hotels introduced here are ranked in no particular order because of their own characteristics.
Larger hotels: Tongde Roast Duck Restaurant, Deep Sea Fishing Port and Xiagong Hotel. (There are three things to say here: First, a few days ago, I invited guests to the deep-sea fishing port for dinner, and nearly half of the 68 kg of Pipi shrimp I ordered became smaller or even died; Secondly, I once took eight sea cucumbers to Tongde Roast Duck Restaurant for dinner, and the processing fee of sea cucumbers was 130 yuan at checkout time. Third, individual hotels are still using the clumsy trick of "two menus", taking low prices for locals and high prices for foreigners. This hotel really doesn't want to stay in Beidaihe this year when the tourist order is so strict! Because I haven't experienced it, I save face, so I won't call the roll this time! These phenomena also show that the old saying that shops bully customers is not in vain. )
The above hotels are large in scale, mainly private rooms, suitable for multi-person dinner. If only three or five people eat, you can go to the following small hotels:
Small restaurant:
Longquan home-cooked dish (features: delicious and clean)
Lubinghua Hotel (features: stewed sea fish and fried small fish)
Barbecue category:
Xiaoquan barbecue (special: fried pigeon)
The above hotels are all near the "residential area" of Beidaihe, far from the sea. You can search them with your mobile phone or take a taxi. Because we locals often go to these small shops to eat, we know our boss. When we went, you could say that you read the article of teacher Qianlimeng. I can't guarantee that he will give you a discount, but I will eat with confidence.
When traveling, many people like to bring some special products back to their relatives and friends. Beidaihe is a coastal city, where there are three main specialties:
First, seafood, please pay special attention. I mean live seafood, not dry seafood! Seafood can be put in a foam box with ice to take away. Unlike river crabs, they can be eaten for a short time even if they are dead. However, whether it is crab, shrimp or shellfish, you should try to finish all the seafood you take with you within 12 hours.
Second, Yangchangzi, an old brand of ham sausage with a history of 100 years, has been heard by many people, so it is unnecessary to introduce it too much. The store is on the west side of Xiagong Hotel, Lianfeng Road. If it's a weekend, you have to buy it early.
Third, the shrimps used by Ou Peng's three immortals, jiaozi and jiaozi, are all hand-picked, so there is no need to introduce them too much. Taking a box home to eat or send a friend is definitely different from what is sold in the supermarket outside!
The seafood in Beidaihe makes people shine. This is an anemone, also called sea chrysanthemum, which was photographed with a mobile phone when going fishing at the seaside. Sounds like a plant. In fact, it is an animal, which generally grows in cracks in rocks, but it can't be eaten.
I think Pippi shrimp is the most delicious seafood (at least in Bohai Bay). It cannot be farmed in the wild. Stop cooking. It should be steamed in a drawer. Sometimes you can see Pippi shrimp with oxygen in the aquarium of the market, but when it is cooked, it is found to be empty. It is because the merchants have kept it for too long that Pippi shrimp is not fat in summer. The fattest season for Pipi shrimp is spring and autumn.
There are octopus everywhere along the coast of China, and Beidaihe is also rich in octopus, especially in late autumn. It's usually braised pork, which is very fragrant. In addition, it can be eaten with boiled mustard, which is very enjoyable. Octopus is soft all over, but it eats crabs, do you know? After being put into the fish tank, several crabs were scared to panic and lost their souls.
It is much more convenient for hippocampus and Shanghai dragon to ride together. Who has no poor relatives these days?
Like mussels, people in Zhejiang and Fujian like this stuff, but to be honest, it's not delicious.
Sea cucumber and abalone, which you can't see in the wild, are basically farmed.
Most fish are farmed, steamed and stewed at home.
Scapharca subcrenata, usually cooked and eaten, tastes ordinary, but the steamed stuffing jiaozi tastes delicious.
Scallops, basically farmed, taste good.
A kind of grouper, which tastes good, provided it is fresh.
Stubborn fish, produced in local waters, I understand this name is because this kind of fish is so stupid that it can be eaten whenever it is eaten. When fishing, you can catch five fish by tying five hooks. This kind of fish is wild and cheap, and it is delicious to stew at home.
Please remember my words, it's not expensive, it's delicious, and local tyrants and wild fresh are the tricks!
Green tangerine peel appeared in early summer, usually fried or braised in sauce.
Scorpion, the hot sauce is fried well. Scallops and oysters in shellfish can be cultured, and others are basically wild.
Oysters, also called oysters in the south, look very tall. In fact, all shellfish in the seafood market are very cheap and can be steamed or roasted.
Distinguish cheats: the more irregular, the uglier cross-country, the more neat, the more regular and the more cultivated.
Meretrix meretrix, the smallest shellfish on the market, is also the cheapest seafood, which is usually eaten with spicy stir-fry, but it is actually meaningless.
White clams are generally used to make Chinese cabbage tofu soup.
Monopterus albus, the meat is delicious, you can cook it in the pot, and it is good to eat it with horseradish after cooking.
It should be reminded that all shellfish contain sand, so it needs to spit sand for a day or two before eating, so try to spit sand for a day or two before buying shellfish, which is different from buying fish, shrimp and crabs.
Silver carp, black cat and kidnapper fish are common local wild marine fish, which are usually stewed at home.
Portunus, I have to mention this. In fact, this kind of crab is found in all sea areas of China, and it is also the most common sea crab. However, this crab can also be cultured in all coastal areas of China. However, in recent years, marine fishing is fierce, and there are few natural swimming crabs. Moreover, in order to ensure the water quality, mariculture has been banned in Beidaihe waters, so the swimming crabs you see are basically farmed and trafficked from other places. Understand?
Hua Gaier, this kind of crab is wild and not farmed. It's not big but delicious. Generally, it will be very big at 232. Basically, this kind of crab and a kind of crab called red clip are both produced in local waters. In fact, this kind of crab is found in the sea all over the country and should have strong vitality.
I specially took a picture with my belly upside down. The lid on the belly is round, locally called round navel, which is the female crab.
Conch, popular science, conch is different from other shellfish, it eats shellfish, mainly small shellfish such as clams, and its taste is average.
Please remember, there is only one word for all seafood: fresh, fresh and fresh!
