Beidaihe also has a variety of cuisines, including Sichuan cuisine, Shandong cuisine, Northeast cuisine, Korean cuisine, Western cuisine and Japanese cuisine, so people who are not used to seafood need not worry at all.
But in general, all hotels will have seafood. Larger hotels have aquariums that 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 replace the column. In the past two years, everyone has seen the video of the seafood market swap in the WeChat circle. The proficiency of female traders in changing packages is like eating noodles. Imagine how many bags she needs to drop to practice so well. The same is true of Beidaihe. Some hotels will replace the crabs brought by their guests and exchange their dead crabs for the live crabs you brought.
Secondly, the shortage of pounds is short-lived. I bought Pipi shrimp at Shitang Road Market. I once met a businessman who asked for 20 pounds, but after knowing that I was a local, I changed it to 30 pounds. 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, and everyone who gave them away was scolded.
4. Deceive and kill customers. I once heard a man who runs a food stall say that he can 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 don't know how many black-hearted businessmen cry on the beach. In fact, these phenomena are not the patents of Beidaihe, but the patents of 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 is even refined to the point that selling crabs is divided into life and death. Electronic scales should be randomly calibrated every day. Once the violation is found, it will be closed directly, with unprecedented strength, hoping to play a deterrent role.
In fact, local people don't go to places near the sea to eat. Here, I would like to introduce some places where local people often eat, and explain that the hotels introduced here are in no particular order, because they have 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 at a deep-sea fishing port, and nearly half of the 68 kg of Pipi shrimp ordered became smaller or even died; Secondly, I once took eight sea cucumbers to Tongde Roast Duck Restaurant for dinner, and the processing fee for sea cucumbers at checkout time was 130 yuan. 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 personally, I'm saving 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 you only have three or five people to eat, you can go to the following small hotels:
Small restaurant:
Longquan home-cooked dish (features: delicious and clean dishes)
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 there, you could say that you came here after reading the article by teacher Qian Li Meng. 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's crabs, shrimps or shellfish, the seafood you take away should be eaten within 12 hours as much as possible.
Second, Yang Zhangzi, 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. This shop is on the west side of Lianfeng Road Summer Supply Hotel. If it's a weekend, you have to buy it early.
Third, Ou Peng Sanxian jiaozi and Sanxian jiaozi all picked shrimps by hand, which need not be introduced too much. Taking a box home to eat or send it to a friend is definitely different from what is sold in the supermarket outside!
The seafood in Beidaihe is very eye-catching 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 usually grows in cracks in rocks, but can't be eaten.
I think Pipi shrimp is the most delicious seafood (at least in Bohai Bay). It cannot be farmed in the wild. Don't cook it. It should be steamed in a drawer. Sometimes you can see Pippi shrimp with oxygen in the fish tank in the market, but it is empty after cooking. It is because the merchants have kept it for too long that Pippi shrimp is not fat in summer. The fattest season of 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. Usually braised pork, very fragrant. Besides, it can be eaten with boiled mustard, which is very enjoyable. Although the 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 is much more convenient for seahorses to ride Shanghai dragons. Who doesn't have a poor relative these days
Like mussels, people in Zhejiang and Fujian like this kind of thing, but to be honest, it is 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, which is usually cooked and eaten, tastes ordinary, but steamed jiaozi tastes delicious.
Scallops are basically farmed and taste good.
A delicious grouper, provided it is fresh.
Naughty fish, produced in local waters, I understand that it is called this name because this kind of fish is so stupid that it eats whatever it eats. When fishing, you can catch five fish by tying five hooks. This kind of fish is wild, cheap in quantity and delicious to stew at home.
Please mark my words, it's not expensive, it's delicious, and local, wild and fresh are the tricks!
Green tangerine peel can be bought 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 the cross-country, the more neat, the more regular and the more cultivated.
Clam is the smallest shellfish on the market and the cheapest seafood. It 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, with delicious meat, can be cooked in a pot, and it is also good to eat with horseradish after cooking.
It should be reminded that all shellfish contain sand and need 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, I have to mention this. In fact, this crab is produced in all sea areas of China, and it is also the most common sea crab. However, this crab can also be cultivated in all coastal areas of China. However, in recent years, marine fishing is very intense, and there are very few naturally growing Portunus. Moreover, in order to ensure the water quality, mariculture has been banned in Beidaihe, so all the swimming crabs you see are basically 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 oceans all over the country, and it should have a strong vitality.
I specially took a picture of my stomach facing the sky. 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 ordinary.
Please remember, if you want to eat all seafood well, there is only one word: fresh, fresh and fresh!
