Yingkou has always had the saying that "eat crabs raw and shrimp alive". Many people in Yingkou like to eat raw seafood. There is such a special food in Yingkou, called salty mud slip, also called raw pickled sea melon seeds. It is a small shellfish food, usually white with a little red spots. It's very small and long. What you eat is fresh. Maybe many people who have just arrived in Yingkou are not used to this way of eating, but Yingkou people like it very much.

The practice of salted shrimp crawling is similar to that of salted crab, and it is not difficult to make it yourself. First, prepare a container with good sealing performance, then clean the fresh shrimp and put it in the container, then add minced garlic, star anise, ginger slices, a little white wine (to remove the fishy smell), salt and other ingredients, then add boiling water after cooling, seal it and put it in the refrigerator for almost 2 days.

In this cold winter, when you come to Yingkou, a bowl of steaming Tang Chi mutton soup is indispensable. Tang Chi mutton soup is mellow in taste and delicious in meat, which can be described as delicious soup and unique in flavor. Tang Chi mutton soup was boiled with sheep bones for three years, and then mutton was cooked with mutton offal. After cooking, cut it into thin slices, then put it into boiling water, put it into a bowl, pour in mutton soup, sprinkle with chopped green onion, and a bowl of steaming and delicious Tang Chi mutton soup is ready. Drinking it really warms the body and stomach.
