When it comes to seafood, in addition to sea cucumbers, abalone, and shrimp, oysters are definitely well-known and unforgettable delicious seafood, and the coastal areas are affectionately called: sea oysters.
Friends who like to eat oysters know: our Rushan oysters in Weihai, whether the taste or quality are second to none in China, Lei Ge here is very careful to use words, in fact, many people say that Rushan oysters are the first oysters in China.
Other people in the coastal areas are not convinced of this statement, especially Dalian, which is separated by the sea, is a rival to Weihai in any seafood product, and even more in the traditional seafood of oysters.
Friends in Dalian say that the oysters in their sea area taste more fresh than Rushan oysters, and a Dalian friend also told Regoko: Rushan oysters were imported from Dalian in the early days.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="01" > Rushan oysters originate in Dalian? </h1>
I did not find a basis for this statement, nor did I find relevant information on the Internet. Recently, an old book at home, the 1986 edition of the "Weihai City Chronicle", found a record of this statement.
Under the column of Weihai Aquaculture in the city's chronicle, there is such a record: "In 1958 and 1980, 60,000 catties of oysters in Dalian Bay were transferred for stocking..."
It seems that the Dalian friend was right. But today's Rushan oysters do not use early oyster seedlings.
Before 2000, Rushan oysters were still using traditional farming methods and traditional varieties, but these were not suitable for the geographical environment and water conditions of Rushan, and the survival rate of oyster farming was not high, and the yield was also very low.
In the autumn of 2000, the relevant technicians of the Rushan Marine Fisheries Bureau and the Ocean University of China jointly introduced a new oyster seed, the Pacific oyster, and researched and developed the oyster culture technology for autumn sowing and spring harvest. Oyster farming begins in the fall of September and begins harvest in November, which lasts until April of the following year.
This autumn sowing and spring harvest farming model avoids the summer wind and waves in rushan pass and shortens the oyster farming cycle for a long time. And greatly increased the survival rate of oysters. Right now. At present, the oyster farming in Rushan is basically all adopted in this way.

The first time I heard this, I was also blinded, aren't oysters and oysters a thing? After a detailed examination of the information, I found that my cognition for many years was wrong, and oysters and oysters were really two things.
Oysters and oysters look very similar, and can even be said to be exactly the same. Theoretically, oysters are also a type of oyster. But oysters and oysters are different, and they are also very well distinguished.
The most obvious difference is that the size is different. An oyster can generally be more than 1 pound, while a sea oyster is not so big. The main difference in their nutrition is the difference in zinc content, which contains 70 mg of zinc per 100 grams of oysters, and only 9 mg of zinc in the same 100 grams of oysters.
Of course, another big difference between oysters and oysters is in terms of price. Oysters are expensive, exaggerated to say that they are luxury, and oysters are an affordable and approachable seafood.

Rego does not know what price Rushan oysters sell in other cities? But in our Local Weihai, oysters are very cheap. In order to write this article, Lei Ge just went to the aquatic market and asked about the price of oysters, 3 two to 4 two large oysters, now selling for 5 yuan and 1 catty.
Locals often joke that oysters in Beijing and Shanghai are bought on a one-size-fits-all basis, and we eat oysters in Weihai on the other side. Even at the cheapest time, it is bought on the heap. Vendors mixed oysters, scallops and other shellfish to sell, a bunch of 10 or 20 yuan.
Rushan oysters are characterized by the colder the weather, the better the meat quality and taste. And the production is still large, and the price is still cheap. This will usually remain in place until April. After April, the winter oysters are on the market. Later, you can buy oysters in summer. The meat texture and taste are slightly worse, and the price will be more expensive.
brief summary:
Everyone knows that rushan oysters are tender, sweet and fatty, and you will never forget them after eating them. Lei Ge is proud of such high-quality seafood in his hometown Rushan, this article shares some unknown stories behind Rushan oysters for everyone, hoping that more and more friends can like Rushan oysters.
