Depending on where the question comes from, Shandong is a relatively large area, and the food differences between inland and coastal areas are quite large.

Coastal areas such as Qingdao, Weihai, etc.: seafood, seafood dumplings/pot stickers/steamed buns/noodles, etc. (I have eaten very cheap squid pot stickers and dumplings with whole scallops on Zhongshan Road in Qingdao, and they were both amazing).

In addition, Qingdao is rich in pork ribs rice.

Coastal fishing villages such as Changdao: fish, scallops!

Especially the scallops, which are big, plump and not too expensive, and the kelp.

Seaweed buns, Jiaodong big buns (the meat is stuffed in large pieces, and the vegetables are quite generous, so girls can basically eat enough from one bun).

Inland areas such as Pingping Lakeside Town in Dongping: Mid-Autumn Festival crabs (the male ones are of better quality than the female ones, full of crab paste, and the one I bought this year is slightly smaller at 13 kilograms), fried river shrimps (small shrimps, fried

Pancakes), water chestnuts (water chestnuts, big ones are delicious, small ones are more expensive), duck eggs, lotus seeds, gorgon seeds, etc.

In the Mainland, such as Linyi, Zibo, Taian, etc.: fried chicken, mutton in various ways, pancakes (available in all parts of Shandong, Taian pancakes have more varieties, including slightly sweet and sour), Laiwu Shaobing, sugar-fired and other kinds of pancakes, pot

Pancakes, Zhoucun Shaobing (this is a snack, there are specialty stores in big cities, Zhoucun Shaobing Factory’s is the best), etc.

Mainland China, such as Jinan: Shandong cuisine (nine-turn large intestine, sweet and sour carp, pickled plum ribs, stir-fried kidneys, fried three kinds, white braised tripe slices, etc.). It is recommended to look for large restaurants with exquisite cooking or popular old restaurants.

), Youxuaner (Jinan locals say just try one), grilled sweet potatoes (a certain chain store is really delicious) and so on.
