April to November. At this time, it is sunny and the sea is warm. Weizhou Island is the best time to enjoy the sunrise, the sea view, the island tour and the seafood.

The reform and opening up has attracted foreigners from all directions and brought various eating habits, making Beihai's food culture more colorful.

2 Setaria shrimp

Setaria shrimp, also known as "crawling shrimp" and "bouncing shrimp", has such a strange name because when it is out of water, there is always a stream of water flowing out of it, like a baby peeing, so it has a rather indecent name. This kind of shrimp lurks in the mud at the bottom of the sea during the day and comes out to feed on the beach at night. On the muddy beach where it crawls, it will leave traces like a tail fan rake, so it is also called "shrimp rake". Although all the coastal areas of our country produce Setaria shrimp, the quantity is relatively small, so even this gourmet has never tasted it. When we arrive in Beihai, we can't miss this delicious food! The flood season of Seurated Shrimp is from October to April next year, and the golden season is before the fourth breeding season. At this time, Seurated Shrimp is not only fat, but also fresh meat. Southerners like to shell and take seasonings such as meat sauce and vinegar to eat.

3 Mei Xiang Fish

Mei Xiang Fish doesn't refer to the species of fish. In fact, this dish doesn't have any formula on the species of fish. As long as it is big and fresh, it can be made. The method of making Mei Xiang Fish is similar to that of water fish and shrimp. The main difference is that Mei Xiang Fish requires "big fish" and uses salt "hard". The curing time is also relatively a little longer, and it is enough to be "cooked" until a layer of mold similar to tofu milk is formed on the skin of the fish. Because the individual of Mei Xiang fish is relatively large, the skin of this fish is very salty after pickling, but its meat is just right. Fish tastes delicious, and it is a good food for dinner.
