Bohai school
First of all, it starts from the Bohai Sea, which is located at the northern end of eastern Chinese mainland.
Bohai Sea is the inland sea of China, surrounded by land on three sides, between Liaoning, Hebei, Shandong and Tianjin. Since ancient times, people in the north have enjoyed the seafood feast here.
Everyone who grows on the seashore knows that the colder the seawater, the more delicious the seafood grows. Because of the perennial low temperature, balanced salinity, natural and pure water quality and abundant microbial resources, abalone, sea urchin, sea cucumber and other seafood living on the seabed and rocks grow slowly, but they also accumulate more nutrients such as amino acids and polysaccharides, which are particularly delicious.
Sea urchin-the essence of the sea
The best sea cucumber in the world-Liaodong sea cucumber
The best quality, the highest price and the most popular wrinkled abalone.
The fattest season of sea cucumber, abalone and sea urchin is the best time to catch the sea. As far as sea cucumber in Liaodong is concerned, there are two seasons in a year, one is April, May and June in spring, and the other is 10 and1month in autumn. Abalone is the fattest in June and July every year.
But there are many differences in seafood between different cities in Bohai Bay. For example, the sea cucumber and sea urchin produced in Dalian are more delicious than those in Yantai, and the seafood soup hanging technology of people in Yantai is also beyond the reach of Dalian people. Seaweed is the best in Yantai area, with tender meat, smooth taste and very delicious.
The characteristic of Bohai School is rough and bold. While presenting delicious seafood, it also has the characteristics of simple and bold people in Jiaodong. The cuisines here are rarely refined, most of the dishes are simply cooked and steamed, and all the condiments are on the spoonful of salt of chef Jiaodong.
Huanghaipai
From Bohai Bay all the way to the south, you arrive at Qingdao, a holy place to eat seafood such as shrimp, crab, snail and shellfish. This is the world of the Yellow Sea Sect.
The seabed in the southern part of the Yellow Sea is flat, and there are two ocean currents, namely "Yellow Sea Warm Current" and "Coastal Current", circling here all the year round, so the sea water here is much warmer, and a large number of plankton gather here. In addition, the aquatic plants in this sea area are rich in resources. While drifting with the tide and dancing in the sea, they also raise the seafood such as shrimps, crabs, snails and shellfish here in an unusually fat place. For example, the famous "king of shrimp" prawn, the upgraded version of Scapharca subcrenata, and the large and small yellow croaker are all top-grade products produced here.
"King of Shrimp"-Shrimp
Now this season is the fattest time for Portunus trituberculatus in Rudong County, Jiangsu Province. It is big, thick with crab claws, and rolled with crab roe like waves. You don't need to put any seasoning. When it is steamed, it is delicious!
After the pot, when the lid of the crab was lifted, I watched the glistening crab meat and the red and thick crab ointment, and the saliva had already flowed all over the floor. I rudely dragged down the crab legs, ate and ate crabs, which was a pleasure that hairy crabs could never give!

Lianyungang, which is located on the Yellow Sea, has a unique taste because of its mild marine climate. The most famous seafood here is yellow croaker, which is fresh, tender and pure, fragrant but not greasy, and it is memorable.

The main seafood of Huanghai School is the combination of umami and cooking. The technical addition of Jiangsu cuisine to cooking seafood makes Huanghai School seafood with low output unique.
Donghai school
Twenty miles across the Yellow Sea, a leaf boat enters the East China Sea. There is another school of China seafood, Donghai School.
The East China Sea is a marginal sea surrounded by the coastal areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the Taiwan Province Strait of China, and the Korean Peninsula, Kyushu Island and Ryukyu Islands. The output of Donghai school seafood is much larger than that in the north. Whether it is large yellow croaker, small yellow croaker, squid, cuttlefish and octopus, its delicacy has conquered people's taste buds.
Zhoushan Fishing Ground, the largest fishing ground in China, has the reputation of "China Fishing Capital" and "Donghai Fish Warehouse". Zhoushan is located at the mouth of the Yangtze River, Qiantang River and Yongjiang River. Coastal current, Taiwan Province warm current, Yellow Sea cold water mass and many other cold and warm currents meet here. Warm fish follow the warm current and cold fish follow the cold current, so the fish all meet in Zhoushan, which is a natural place for fishing grounds.
In terms of the best quality, the hairtail produced in Zhoushan is recognized as the best in China. The fish is generous, smooth and delicious, and people from Zhejiang and Shanghai, which are close to the water, have taken advantage of it. You know, Zhoushan hairtail is delicious, but it has scientific basis. Although hairtail can be caught in sea areas all over the world, the taste of hairtail in these places is fishy and coarse because of the high salinity of the sea water. Zhoushan fishing ground has an excellent geographical location, low salt content in the sea area, and comfortable temperature in four distinct seasons, so the natural Zhoushan hairtail meat is more tender and sweet!
