New Yellow River Reporter: Chen Yuanhao

A city has the taste of a city, and one party has the feelings of one person. "Eating mountains on the mountains and eating the sea." The Yantai people living by the sea always have a particularly deep emotions for seafood, just like Xi'an people love the puff and Chongqing people love hot pot. This is the flavor of the fireworks permeated in the city, and it is also a genetic inheritance flowing in the blood. Along with the first wave of ships returning to the air, the fresh taste of seafood began to make people's taste buds.

On September 1, 2022, the Sea Day, a reporter from Xinhuanghe entered the Yantai Dongkou Fishing Port Pier to explore the seafood feelings of the Yantai people, experience the fresh taste of Yantai after opening the sea, and understand the custom story of the Jiaodong Peninsula about seafood.

The price increase can not stop the enthusiasm of diners

On September 1, the weather in Yantai was cloudy. New Yellow River reporters came to Yantai Dongkou Fishing Port Wharf to appreciate the favors of Seafood from Yantai people. First of all, the first wave of seafood listed on the sea is the first wave of seafood, green shell white belly crabs, prawns that are alive, and sea fish that shakes their heads ... all seduced people. The busy traders were enthusiastically sipped, and they chose their favorite seafood for customers, full of joy.

After opening the sea, the happiness of the love of seafood diners finally came. In the long fishing period, people can only taste frozen seafood. Although the quality is guaranteed, fresh seafood seems to be more seductive. The desire for fresh and delicious, the desire for seafood feelings, makes diners' endurance often pull to the limit. With this desire, the first wave of seafood after opening the sea never had to worry about finding the buyer.

Fear the ocean, take it. The four -month fishing period allows the ocean to rest. People are grateful to the food given by nature, and nature also gives back ingredients to humans. After opening the sea, the autumn wind learned more, and the shore fish got more. It often triggered "retaliation consumption", and even a "snap -up" boom appeared. The Yantai people's love for the "fresh bite" of the season can be seen.

"The autumn wind is cool, and the seafood is the best. Although it is more expensive, it is fresh!" Ms. Zhang, a citizen of Yantai, told reporters that eating seafood is most particular about the season, not only delicious, but also the most nutritious body. She just bought her favorite seafood and was going to taste a meal with her family at night. Although the price of some seafood just opened in the sea has risen slightly, it still cannot stop people's enthusiasm for "eating seasonal". Coupled with "Mid -Autumn Festival" and "Eleven", many citizens estimate that the price of seafood will still be strong.

"Tattoo Fish" in "Shan Hai Jing"

"Crossfish Market" must eat mascots

When the celebrities of the Qing Dynasty, Yantai Qixia Hao Yingxing was sparse for the "Shan Hai Jing" and saw a kind of proverbs contained in the "Dongshan Jing", which was specifically marked: "Today there is a proverb in the sea in the sea of ​​Denglai. Long, its bones are also clear, and its beak is like precise. "

Lai Laizhou, which is a profit of mountains and seas, has the old custom of "crossing the fish market". "Crossing the fish market" is the peak season of fishing and floods every year. Every family in Laizhou eats a kind of sea fish. This kind of sea fish is Hao Yingxing in the "Mountains and Seas Classics". The locals believe that "I have eaten tattoo fish, and they must not be sick throughout the year." If you do n’t eat tinyfish, you will not be auspicious for a year.

The tattoo fish has a slender shape, and the fish mouth is like a needle, so it is called "Due Fish". Whenever a small full season, the wheat blooms, and it is the day when the fishing market. Tattoo fish is fresh and tender, and the taste is delicious. Regardless of frying, fried, or salted and jealous, it has a flavor.

Laizhou people regard the tit -tank fish as the top grade, which can not only climb the elegant hall, but also be given as valuable gifts. There is a way to prove: "The guys in the city are really different, and the fish are picking their mouths for long. Gaji and catfish are not counted.

Laizhou people are very particular about the "crossfish market" and summarize many proverbs. For example, "Sea Ice Open, Warmish Fish", "Peach Blossom Water, Peach Blossom Shrimp", "Willow Poon, Spray Living Living Sea", all about the most delicious caching of Yantai. As for the saying of "Gargit, cattail tail, catfish body, and rivers (catfish) mouth", all the best parts of various sea fish are marked.

Eat catfish in spring, dry salted fish in autumn

Yantai people prefer "salted fish flavor"

New Yellow River reporter learned that if you vote for the favorite fish in Yantai, I am afraid that the two fish are "difficult to divide." One is catfish; the other is catfish. The two are similar, and they belong to the same family. The biggest difference is that catfish can grow to more than 1 meter, but the biggest catfish is only about 1 foot. The catfish is black and blue, and the belly is gray; the back of the catfish is blue and blue, and the belly is pale yellow.

According to Ming Ming's "Mao Poetry Birds and Beasts and Beasts", the catfish is "toxic, although small, the otter and the big fish are afraid to be cooked." Because it contains acetic acid, it is easy to decompose into histamine, and poor treatment can cause allergic food poisoning. However, the meat of catfish is tender and dangerous, but the diners cannot give up the delicious taste of the catfish, just like the people in Yangzhou, Jiangnan to fight puffer fish for a delicious flavor. Therefore, people are still rushing every year.

Eating catfish is also particular, eating catfish in spring, salted fish in autumn. It is said that there are two ways to eat Lao Yantai. One is cabbage. It is said that this kind of cooking method can prevent allergies and add fragrance to freshness. The aroma is full of mouthwatering. In addition, there are fewer catfish spines, and the old people are also very delicious.

Lao Yantai often said that "catfish legs are short" because it is not easy to keep fresh. To this end, pickled catfish has also become a unique deliciousness of Yantai. The salted catfish is dried in the autumn wind and autumn sun, and the brown fish oil is glowing in a few days, exuding an attractive unique fragrance. In winter, the chop is put on the plate, sprinkled with onion ginger, dripped a few drops of sesame oil, and steamed it with corn slices with corn slices.

Popular "Bow Fish Ceremony" is popular

You must eat "catfish dumplings" when you meet

Although the customs and culture of Jiaodong are slightly different, the entire Jiaodong area is full of love for catfish. The older generation of Yantai people even joked that they were called "old catfish". The wide proverb said: "Spring is here, catfish jump. The catfish jumps, the bunny laughs." When the catfish was listed, if the son -in -law did not give his father -in -law a "catfish gift", maybe the whole year was all the whole year. I can't see the smiley face of Laotai Mountain.

The catfish is basically a year of floods in a year. Spring floods and autumn floods are the best "dating" in Yantai people and catfish. When the spring flowers bloom, with the advent of "peach blossom water", the group of catfish will follow the ocean flow and travel north to the Jiaodong Peninsula. After the rain, the water temperature rose significantly, and it was a good time to capture the variety of miscellaneous fish. After the autumn, the fish and shrimp swim from the Bohai Sea to the Yellow Sea, and it is also the golden season of fishing.

Some people say that in Nanjing, no duck can swim through the Yangtze River alive; in Jiaodong, no catfish can swim the Yellow Sea of ​​Bohai alive. Although it is exaggerated, the obsession of the catfish is the historical heritage of Yantai people and even the entire Jiaodong Peninsula. Since the moment it was picked up by the fishing net, the delicious catfish had destroyed: frying, frying, cooking, fried, stewed, smoked, no matter what kind of practice, it can be appropriate.

But among many catfish foods, there are no enemies who have survived catfish dumplings. "Good mood, catfish dumplings." The tender fish, soft noodles, thin leather, bombing can be broken, full of fragrance. The people of Yantai are hospitable, and a plate of catfish dumplings will come after the wine is hot. This natural tacit understanding is the taste memory engraved in genes for generations.
