Three Treasures of Lingding
Sea Urchin
Sea urchin is an economic marine organism with high edible and medicinal value. It has a unique taste, rich nutrition, and high content of methionine in protein, especially glycine and glutamic acid, making it delicious. Its 15% -25% fat content also gives it a lubricating taste. Eating sea urchins raw is the most satisfying, without the need for any seasoning, allowing the sweetness of sea urchins to melt on the tip of the tongue, delicate, smooth, and sweet. In addition, in Wailingding Island, sea urchins are mostly steamed with eggs, or made into sea urchin Fried Rice, or combined with rice vermicelli to make sea urchin rice vermicelli, which not only retains the delicacy of sea urchins but also adds their flavor.
Goose Barnacle
Goose barnacle is a type of shellfish that grows in crevices of rocks by the seaside. It usually grows in clusters and clings to the crevices of rocks without moving for a long time. It grows by eating microorganisms in the water and its shape resembles that of a dog's paw. It is known as the "seafood from hell". The dog claw snail has relatively high requirements for water quality, and Wailingding Island has a very advantageous geographical location, good ecological environment, and excellent water quality, producing this top-quality seafood. Steaming, blanching, or slow stewing can all taste the deliciousness of the meat, with a crisp and mellow taste, and a mouth watering sensation that is truly stunning!
Meanwhile Abalone
The Gastropoda family of hat shells, commonly known as military hats or bamboo hats, is named after the long hat shaped shells that resemble the official hats of Qing dynasty generals. They often attach to rocks near high tide zones. Due to its body resembling abalone, it is known as the "little abalone" and even has higher nutritional value than abalone. Steamed with minced garlic, the meat tastes delicious. With just one bite, the fresh, fragrant, tender, and rich flavors slowly unfold, and the taste is tough, providing a tight and full sense of happiness.
