I saw a qingdao netizen talking about Jiaozhou Bay in Qingdao and clams in Jiaozhou Bay on his blog. I can also be regarded as an old Qingdao person, and I also joined in the fun to say two sentences.
The coastal tidal flats around Jiaozhou Bay in Qingdao once grew clams. Although the east bank of Jiaozhou Bay is deep, it was the urban area of Qingdao at that time, and many factories were concentrated, such as chemical factories and dye factories, and all chemical pollution was discharged into the sea water on the east side of Jiaozhou Bay. As a result, the clams living in the sea waters east of Jiaozhou Bay have been seriously polluted, and even researchers from the Ocean College say that there are many substances that can cause cancer in the body of the clams here.
On the west side of Jiaozhou Bay, which is now Hongdao, a place called Yin Island, because it was rural, there was almost no factory at that time, so the pollution was very light, and the clams there seemed to have always been the authentic product of Qingdao clams.
The above netizen also said that he saw the clams on the east side of Jiaozhou Bay, which was large, although the skin was black and tasted very fresh, and the yellow-skinned clams on Red Island did not seem to be a species. In fact, it is all a kind of clam. People who often dig clams know that the clam guy, although the shell is quite hard, it is not out of sludge and not stained, but into the local custom, the color of the clam skin, basically related to the environment in which it lives. If it lives in the polluted black mud and sand on the east bank, the near ink is black, the skin is black, and it lives in the yellow sand on the west bank, the color of the skin is black, and the flowers and flowers are light,
The big black-skinned clams that netizens said were concentrated in the area of the four-square bathing beach on the east coast of that year, because it was not far from the coal dock, and the coal ash of the power plant next to it was deposited there, so the sand on the seabed there was black, and the clam skin produced there was also blackened. As for why it is big, because the sea is deep, generally when the tide falls, the seabed is exposed, the clams are difficult to dig up, and the clams there have a longer lifespan.
This, like the annual rings of trees, can also be seen from the number of ridges raised on the clam skin, where clams generally live for more than two years.
Generally, clams elsewhere, such as the sea on the north side of the Shalingzhuang Railway Station, the water is shallow, and the seabed is exposed at the end of the tide on weekdays, and the clams there generally live to be more than one year old, or even less than one year old, and are dug up and eaten.
Now, on the east bank of Jiaozhou Bay, because of infrastructure projects such as the Qinghuang Expressway, a large area of excavation and garbage reclamation has begun, which can advance the original coastline to the sea for several kilometers. Just like the sea on the other side of the original Shalingzhuang train, the coast is a cliff, and under the cliff is the seawater, which is less than twenty meters away from the board room of the railway station. Now if you look at the Shalingzhuang Railway Station, you are standing on stilts and can't see the sea. It is the high-rise buildings built after the sea next to it, which are far from the sea. Therefore, the coastline that used to grow clams in the east of Jiaozhou Bay, together with clams, can basically be said to be gone forever.
On the west side of Jiaozhou Bay, that is, the beach on Red Island, there are many clams, but generally artificially farmed, wild there are also, less, however, farmed and wild clams, it seems that because they are living in the sea, not like fish, to use cages, but also to feed, therefore, wild, breeding between the difference is not big, artificial breeding, but painting the ground as a prison, this beach belongs to his family, others can not dig casually.
At that time, especially during the Cultural Revolution in the last century, although digging clams was a very hard and heavy physical labor, the workers in the Qingdao factory, while shouting, 'grasp the revolution to promote production', secretly used the iron bars in the factory and the tools in the factory to make a basket to dig clams, and whenever the tide came, they went to the sea to dig clams. Because, digging clams, and pig eight precepts of the basket is similar, but there is a net behind it, bustling, rubbing shoulders and heels, everyone carries a basket on their shoulders, it is easy to hit others, so on the road, it is natural to distance and line up.
At that time, whenever there was a high tide in Qingdao, the number of people queuing up to dig clams in the sea was not inferior at all to the people who marched on Huiquan Square, shouting long live Chairman Mao.
[After saying this half a day, probably some people in the mainland still don't know what kind of seafood clams are.] Is a kind of shellfish in the sea, it can be said that from the south to the north of the sea, China produces clams a lot of places, but the clams in qingdao, just like the beer of Qingdao, in the middle of the beer seems to be invincible leader, especially delicious, every summer, people who travel to Qingdao, you will see a major feature of Qingdao people, that is, a transparent plastic bag in the right hand, which contains Tsingtao beer, the left hand, is carrying clams, because although clams are very delicious, but compared to other cuisines, the price is not expensive, Therefore, every summer, there are many people in Qingdao, who spend their time drinking beer and eating a spicy fried clam, which is the Qingdao dialect; 'Ha beer eats Gala'. 】
