The term seafood seems to have always been synonymous with high-end ingredients! Lobsters, king crabs, shark fins, sea cucumbers, etc. are well-known and enjoyed by people. However, due to the high price, ordinary people are often discouraged, and only buy them during the New Year to enrich the variety of delicacies on the table. . Nowadays, there is such a delicacy that has existed since ancient times, and it is on the table of ordinary people. It is puffer fish. The ancients said: If you eat fish, you must eat puffer fish. What is the reason for this? When puffer fish is at that time, it is more expensive than fish and shrimp...
For most northerners, most of them are located in inland areas, and there are not many cities facing the sea. However, it happens to be located in the center of the Bohai Sea, and there is such a place known as the "land of fish and rice in the north". This is Caofeidian.
You may not know that Caofeidian is not only the world’s largest puffer fish breeding base, but also obtained the geographical indication certification trademark in 2015; in 2017, “Caofeidian puffer fish” won the most popular regional public brand of agricultural products in China; In 2018, Caofeidian District was awarded the honorary title of "Hometown of Chinese Puffer Fish (Red Fin Oriental Dolphin)" by the China Aquatic Products Circulation and Processing Association! It is not false to say that this is the origin of the red-finned oriental dolphin! The area of specialized intensive breeding of puffer fish in Caofeidian area reaches as much as 7,000 mu, and the center of puffer fish breeding is the place with a beautiful name "Shilihai".
The current Shilihai is well-deservedly known as the puffer fish town. Because, the Shilihai Farm has integrated the fishery resources, tidal flat resources, rural resources and other tourism resources in the region, and strives to create a fishing culture experience as the core, puffer fish breeding and processing as the basis, a rural holiday with fishing village style, and ten thousand people going to the sea. An agricultural tourism brand featuring fishing and other tourism activities. Let's put it this way, if you eat puffer fish in Shilihai puffer town, you can eat fresh puffer fish from the restaurant within 100 meters.
See, eat the freshest puffer fish, catch and cook it right away, this is probably difficult to achieve anywhere! Not only can you eat the freshest ingredients here, but also because it is the source of production, the price of puffer fish is nearly half cheaper than that of a restaurant in Beijing, which is only more than 200 kilometers away. A red-fin oriental dolphin weighing about 2 catties is only sold for more than 200 yuan. And you can also make all kinds of flavors that you can't think of!
Fresh ingredients, of course, must use the most original cooking method to taste the delicacy of fugu. Only in this way can you get the "freshness and original taste" of puffer fish, which is the best interpretation of puffer fish. Pufferfish ~ this is a delicacy that cannot be compared with the high-end ingredients of the public. The practice of sashimi puffer fish can let you experience its "tasteless taste", and you can also marvel at its "enchanting taste... This is the harsh gift of nature to human beings!
In my opinion, the local people’s cooking method for eating puffer fish is simply primitive. In their words, it is called “Nao”, which is actually boiled. I understand that there is a method called “blow stew”. The practice of stewing is also the most common way of cooking fish in Beijing. But in Shilihai puffer town, such a common way of cooking nao fish has been interpreted to the extreme. After the puffer fish is out of the pot, the meat is tight and the Q is still elastic. When you pick it up with chopsticks, the fish skin easily falls off; during the cooking process, the soup shrinks and becomes thicker; It's tender and smooth, and its deliciousness can't be expressed in words.
The whole body of the puffer fish is almost full of treasures. Take the fish skin as an example, although there are many small soft spines on it. But even this puffer fish skin, which seems difficult to swallow, also has the effect of nourishing the stomach and strengthening the spleen! Puffer fish is also rich in protein, fat, vitamins and other nutrients. Diuretic, swelling, rheumatism, fatigue relief, beautifying and beautifying the skin... It can also strengthen the brain, improve intelligence, and improve memory. For students who are facing exams, will eating puffer fish help improve your grades? ! ?
Another popular eating method in the local area is stewed in white soup or stewed in high soup. Take the puffer fish I tasted this time as an example. The white soup is made with the original taste, which retains the deliciousness of the puffer fish to a great extent, and the product produced by the hotel is even taller. Puffer fish, which is originally a high-end ingredient, is prepared with local specialty oriental shrimp as the soup base. The oriental prawns are smashed and shelled, first cooked and then boiled to make the prawn oil. The soup is boiled until it is orange-red and slightly thick, and it can be used to cook fish. On-site cooking, how delicious it will be when the two freshness collide. After eating it, I realized that "if you don't eat puffer fish, you don't know the taste of fish, but if you eat puffer fish, a hundred fish are tasteless." What's more, shrimp... In fact, when puffer fish cooked in river broth enters the mouth together with the soup, the taste of shrimp soup The taste does not hide the freshness and deliciousness of the puffer fish at all, and the taste of the shrimp soup lasts until after the fish is eaten. Soup is soup, fish is fish, the two do not invade each other but complement each other, a rare delicacy!
The tastes and methods of puffer fish that you can choose from on the menu are far more than the above. Steamed, steamed with black bean sauce and scallion oil, spicy, iron plate, even grilled or Maoxuewang puffer fish, etc., only you can't think of it, without you Can't eat it! Of course, the red-fin oriental porpoise meat is used to make fish balls and then boiled into soup. The taste is not inferior to that of fresh puffer fish soup! Similarly, the red-finned oriental dolphin is not the only type of fugu that can be chosen in Shilihai puffer town. The orange-yellow dolphin, which is slightly smaller and more delicious, is also a very good choice. It is cooked in the same way, but the taste is absolute. It is even better, and of course the nutritional value is higher than other types!
However, how can a theme restaurant in Shilihai Puffer Town, which is mainly based on the agricultural tourism industry, only eat puffer fish? Let's put it this way, what is produced in the Bohai Sea can almost be eaten here? Almost all seafood ingredients and related delicacies based on various seafood can be found in Shilihai Puffer Town. There are countless clams, leopard fish, oriental shrimp, octopus, crabs, oysters, and scallops! And more local delicacies such as: fried rice with shrimp oil and shrimp paste, prawn udon noodles, noodle food made of puffer fish and seaweed, of course, there are also famous local sweet jelly, big flower rolls, etc..... .
Of course, in addition to the delicious food, the dining environment, as well as the accommodation environment and quality are also remarkable! As far as the current price is concerned, a puffer fish of about two catties costs about 200 yuan, and most other delicacies are the price of home-cooked dishes. The most worth mentioning is the accommodation here. Compared with the hotel, except that it is a small courtyard with three rooms for nine or more people (Tongpu) to live together, other facilities and equipment are all available. Moreover, three rooms with a single courtyard of more than ten square meters only cost RMB 600 to RMB 800. If you are a family of three, you can experience the characteristic homestay in Shilihai Puffer Town with only RMB 200 per person. !
The summer vacation is just in time, and it takes less than two hours to drive by car.
