The cuisine of Beidaihe is also varied, including Sichuan cuisine, Shandong cuisine, Northeast cuisine, Korean cuisine, Western cuisine and Japanese cuisine, so those who are not used to seafood need not worry at all.
But on the whole, all hotels will have seafood. The larger hotels have aquariums to breed live seafood, and the smaller hotels will also have all kinds of chilled seafood.
Special note:
In summer, hotels, restaurants, food stalls and seafood barbecues in Beidaihe are all over the street. You need to pay attention to three things:
First, steal the beam to change the column. Everyone has seen the video of switching bags in the seafood market in WeChat circle in the past two years. The proficiency of the female trader in switching bags is like eating noodles. Imagine how many bags she needs to drop to practice so well. This is also the case in Beidaihe. Some hotels switch the crabs brought by their guests and exchange their dead crabs for the live crabs you brought.
Second, the shortage of pounds is short. I bought Pippi shrimp at Shitang Road Market. I once met a merchant asking for 20 pounds, but I changed it to 30 pounds after knowing that I was a local. This is a brain teaser. Please figure it out for yourself.
Third, shoddy, many tourists told me that there were too many dry seafood additives bought from Shitang Road Market to eat, and everyone who gave them away was scolded.
4. Cheat and kill customers. I once heard a man who opened a food stall say that he can sell a fish in an aquarium for a summer. Even if he falls dead in front of the guests, what you eat will not be the fish that just died.
I don't know how many black-hearted businessmen will cry on the beach. In fact, these phenomena are not patented by Beidaihe, but all 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 in the tourism market. The standard has even been refined to the point that selling crabs should be divided into life and death. Electronic scales should be randomly calibrated every day. Once violations are found, they will be closed directly, which is unprecedented in strength, hoping to play a deterrent role.
In fact, locals don't go to those places near the sea to eat. Here, I'd like to introduce some places where locals often eat, and explain that the hotels are introduced here in no particular order because of their different characteristics.
Larger hotels: Tongde Roast Duck Restaurant, Deep Sea Fishing Port and Summer Supply Hotel. (There are three things to say here: First, a few days ago, I invited guests to eat in the deep-sea fishing port, and nearly half of the 68-pound Pipi shrimp that was ordered became small or even dead; Second, I once brought eight sea cucumbers to Tongde Roast Duck Restaurant for dinner, and only the processing fee of sea cucumbers was charged at the checkout 130 yuan; Third, individual hotels are still using the clumsy trick of "two menus", taking low prices for local people and high prices for foreigners. This hotel really doesn't want to live under the situation that Beidaihe is so strict in grasping tourism order this year! Because I didn't experience it, so save face, this time I won't call the roll! 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, which are suitable for many people to have dinner. If you only have three or five people to eat, you can go to the following small hotels:
Small restaurant:
Longquan home-cooked dish (features: dishes taste good and clean)
Lubinghua Hotel (features: stewed sea fish and fried small fish)
Barbecue category:
Xiaoquan barbecue (feature: fried pigeons)
The above hotels are all near the "residential area" in Beidaihe, which is far from the seaside. You can search them by mobile phone or take a taxi casually. Because we locals often go to these small shops to eat, we know our boss. When we go, you can say that you came by reading the article of teacher Qianlimeng. I don't guarantee that he will give you a discount, but I will be sure to eat at ease.
When traveling, many people like to bring some special products back to their relatives and friends. Beidaihe is a coastal city, and there are three main kinds of special products here:
First, seafood, please pay special attention. I mean live seafood, not dry seafood! Seafood can be taken away with ice in a foam box. Different from river crabs, even if they are dead, they can be eaten for a short time. However, whether they are crabs, shrimps or shellfish, the seafood you take away should be eaten within 12 hours as far as possible.
Second, Yang Changzi, an old brand of ham sausage with a history of 100 years, has been heard by many people, so there is no need to introduce it too much. The store is on the west side of Lianfeng Road Summer Supply Hotel. If it is a weekend, you have to buy it early.
Third, Ou Peng Sanxian jiaozi, where the shrimps used in Sanxian jiaozi are all hand-picked, so there is no need to introduce it too much. Take a box home to eat or send friends, which is definitely different from those sold in supermarkets outside!
The seafood in Beidaihe is eye-catching. This is an anemone, also called sea chrysanthemum, taken by mobile phone when going fishing at the seaside. It sounds like a plant. In fact, it is an animal, which usually grows in the crevices of rocks, but it is not edible.
I think Pipi shrimp is the most delicious seafood (at least in Bohai Bay). It can't be farmed in the wild. Don't cook it. It should be steamed in a drawer. Sometimes you can see Pipi shrimp with oxygen in the aquarium in the market, but when it is cooked, it is found to be empty. It is because the merchants have kept it for too long, and Pipi shrimp is not fat in summer. The fattest season of Pipi shrimp is spring and autumn.
Octopus is found all over the coast of China, and Beidaihe is also rich in it, especially in late autumn. Generally, it is braised pork in brown sauce, which is very fragrant. In addition, it can be eaten with mustard in white boiling, which is very enjoyable. Although octopus is soft all over, it eats crabs, do you know? After being put into the fish tank, several crabs were scared to panic and lost their souls.
It's much more convenient for a seahorse to take a ride with Shanghai Dragon. Who hasn't had a poor relative these days?
Like mussels, people in Zhejiang and Fujian like this stuff, but to be honest, it's not delicious.
Sea cucumber and abalone, you can't see them in the wild, and they are basically farmed.
Most of the 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 the local sea, I understand that it is called this name because this fish is so stupid that it eats whenever it eats. When fishing catches up, you can catch five fish by tying five hooks. This kind of fish is wild and cheap in quantity, and it is delicious to stew at home.
Please remember my words, it's not expensive, it's delicious, and local, wild and fresh are the tricks!
Green peels are available in early summer, usually fried or braised in sauce.
Scorpion, stir-fried with spicy sauce is good. 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 are very cheap in the seafood market, and can be steamed or roasted.
Distinguishing cheats: the more irregular and ugly it is, the wild it is, and the more neat and regular it is, the cultured it is.
Clam, the smallest shellfish in the market, is also the cheapest seafood, which is usually eaten with spicy stir-fry, but it is actually not interesting.
White clams are generally used to make Chinese cabbage tofu soup.
Yellow clam, the meat is delicious, it can be cooked in a pot, and it is not bad to eat it with horseradish after it is cooked.
It needs to be reminded that all shellfish contain sand, and it needs to be allowed to spit sand naturally for a day or two before eating, so when buying shellfish, try to buy it after spitting sand for a day or two, 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 crab, I have to mention this. In fact, this kind of crab is produced in all sea areas in China, which is also the most common sea crab. However, this kind of crab can also be cultivated in all coastal areas of China. However, in recent years, marine fishing has been very fierce, and there are few naturally growing Portunus crabs. Moreover, in order to ensure the water quality, seawater culture has been banned in Beidaihe sea area, so all the Portunus crabs you see are basically cultivated and trafficked from other places. Got it?
Huagaier, this kind of crab is wild without breeding. It is not big but delicious. Generally, it will be very big by 232. Basically, this kind of crab and a kind of crab called red clip are produced in the local sea. In fact, this kind of crab is found in the sea all over the country and should be strong in vitality.
I specially took a picture of a belly facing the sky. The lid on the belly is round, and the local name is round navel, which is the female crab.
Conch, popular science, conch is different from other shellfish in that it eats shellfish, mainly small shellfish such as clams, and tastes ordinary.
Please remember that there is only one word for all seafood to eat well: fresh, fresh and fresh!
