Oceanic Delicacies

大海小味

People living by the sea get the delicacies on their tables for three meals a day mostly from the rich gifts of the sea. A small boat sails far away among the waves and catches all kinds of seafood. A stove blends the five flavors with water and fire and cooks various dishes by boiling, steaming, frying and stir-frying, allowing people to taste the freshness of the sea. This time, our journey of seeking flavors and tasting delicacies starts from Rizhao, Shandong Province.

Shredded Spanish mackerel, sea cucumber rice, seafood pimple soup, spicy fried clams, spicy fried soft-shell crabs. These numerous and mouthwatering flavors from the sea, from spring to summer, from autumn to winter, day after day, year after year, along with every ray of morning sunlight that sweeps across the sea surface, along with every gust of the four-season sea breeze that blows through the long years, along with every cluster of waves that tells ancient legends, deeply engrave the spicy and fresh food memories and the feelings and characters of the people in Rizhao, who are as generous, rich, tough and inclusive as the sea, in the hearts of every satisfied tourist.
