The beautiful Shengsi archipelago is a poem and far away that many people yearn for, where the island towers, the reef is dotted, there is no severe cold in winter, no heat in summer, the rich island style, the rich seafood varieties are also very rich, attracting tourists from all over the world, come to Shengsi Island, eat a fresh seafood dinner is a very enjoyable thing.
For the most authentic aspects of island life, head to the local seafood market. Fresh crab 15 pounds, the day of the fish, the price ranges from 15-40, the most curious thing for me is a snail called bergamot, which is picked up by local fishermen from the reef one by one, the larger one is 400 pounds, and the nutrition is very rich.
No matter where to travel, I like to go to the local people often go to the vegetable market to walk, shuttle through the bustling crowd, look at a variety of vegetables, seafood, there will be a very stable feeling in the heart, always feel that here is the most fireworks hidden in the essence of life, this Shengsi trip, specially found has been to give a sunny afternoon to the island's largest seafood market, as soon as you walk in, you will be attracted by the spectacular seafood in front of you.
Seafood market is located in Jinghai Road No. 15, is the largest local seafood farmers market, the first floor sells fresh seafood, the second floor is a variety of dried seafood and packaged seafood, I came when I was in the afternoon, see the people who buy seafood is still endless, the seafood here is caught on the same day, not only fresh and varied, all kinds of seasonal seafood is particularly popular.
In the seafood market to visit, found the most common is yellow fish, U-fish and pike crab, Shengsi surrounded by the sea, seafood is very rich, a wide variety, small yellow croaker, striped fish, pomfret, shrimp and so on for shengsi main production. Yellow lobster rice, wolfberry sticker shellfish, three alum sea stinging skin well-known throughout the country. The stalls here basically have fishing boats at home, and their own fishing boats go out to sea, and after they are caught, they are sent to the seafood market for sale, so they are very fresh.
I probably asked a few stalls, learned that the fresh pike crab here is basically 15 pounds, the pomfret caught that day, according to the size of the price from 15-40 range, the most curious thing for me is a snail called bergamot, is the local fishermen from the reef one by one to pick up, the larger one to 400 pounds, the smaller one also more than a hundred pounds, very nutritious.
Why is the price of bergamot snail so expensive? Many reasons are because this snail is difficult to excavate, mainly distributed in the coastal climatic zone with great wave impact, fixed in the clear rock crevices of the sea, often densely packed. The handle is retractable, and when touched, it is tightened into the stone gap, which is not easy to dig, and the large size is more difficult to encounter.
Looking at the fresh yellow fish, you know that it must be very delicious, listen to the locals, the earlier Shengsi aquatic products market, most of them spread from the port to the street, the blue sky and blue sea in the shouting and selling, encounter wind and rain is very inconvenient, and later there is an indoor market we see now, so concentrated sales, greatly convenient for the local people.
Patrons eat mountains and seas, and vendors selling seafood should hurry to put the freshest seafood into categories according to the quality of the first time when they just opened the door. Squid, pen tube fish, mackerel, large and small yellow flowers, base shrimp conch, bird shellfish, pike crab, so it is also very hard, seeing a big sister in front of the seafood stall taking advantage of the lack of people in the snooze, there is some pain.
Come to the seafood market, most of them are locals, our homestay owner will come every day to buy the freshest seafood, if tourists from abroad, want to buy seafood is also OK, take it back to let the homestay help processing, or do it yourself, it is also a great pleasure.
The second floor of the seafood market is selling dry goods, the newly grilled out is particularly delicious, 60 a pound, I think this price should be in Shengsi can only buy the price of it, anyway, we can think of dried seafood here is everything.
Shengsi travel, is my most enjoyable trip to eat seafood, different cuisines collide out of the pleasure, different ingredients only encounter the most suitable cooking methods, will make people reminisce for a long time, I like the outlying islands of Shengsi, is the taste of seafood, the taste of pike crab.
