Speaking of Yingkou, Liaoning Province, it is not only a famous tourist city, but also a city of food, including Yingkou cuisine, the only cuisine named after a prefecture-level city in China. I think many people know several major cuisines in China, and the local people in Yingkou, Liaoning Province must know that Yingkou cuisines are mainly Shandong cuisines, and they also combine the flavors of Northeast cuisine, official cuisine and foreign cuisine to form their own unique cuisines. Compared with Northeast cuisine and Liaoning cuisine, Yingkou cuisine is lighter and slightly sweeter.

Yingkou City, Liaoning Province is close to rivers and the sea. Of course, the seafood here is absolutely a must, and it is also a unique local food among many food snacks in Yingkou. Today Xiaohong brings you five delicious snacks in Yingkou, each with local characteristics, which must not be missed. If you eat them all, I sincerely respect that you are a man.

Sea catfish can be said to be a specialty fish in Yingkou. With tofu, it can be said that the soup is delicious and has high nutritional value. This stewed tofu with sea catfish is also one of the most distinctive and grounded home-cooked dishes in Yingkou. It is very popular in the local area, and almost every household does it. If you go to Yingkou, you must not miss this delicious food.

Yingkou has always had the saying that "eat crabs raw and shrimp alive". Many people in Yingkou like to eat raw seafood. Yingkou has such a special food, called salty mud slippery, also called raw pickled sea melon seeds. It is a small shellfish food, usually white with a little red spots. It's 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. It is not normal for Yingkou people not to eat raw and live seafood.

When it comes to food and snacks in Yingkou, you have to mention salty crabs. The crabs here are thick and yellow, with high nutritional value, which is worse than those in other places. Among them, salty crab is definitely one of the delicious snacks with local characteristics in Yingkou. Also known as the original brine, it keeps its original flavor and is extremely delicious. Yingkou locals can be said to be quite arrogant and like to eat this salty crab very much, but it is still difficult for many foreigners to accept, and most people are afraid to try.

Yingkou people are also called Pippi Shrimp Crawler. The most popular way to eat here is not steaming or boiling, but salty shrimp crawling. 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, aniseed, ginger slices, a little white wine (to remove fishy smell), salt and other ingredients, cool it, add boiling water, seal it and put it in the refrigerator for almost 2 days. Baked shrimps and crayfish in Yingkou are absolutely delicious and pure, and you love them as soon as you eat them.

Without a steaming bowl of Tang Chi mutton soup, how can you come to Yingkou in this cold winter? 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 is boiled with sheep bones for three years, and then the mutton is cooked with mutton offal. After cooking, slice it out, 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 will be ready. Drinking it really warms the body and stomach.
