A Few Simple Steps to Make Delicious and Tasty [fried Garlic Abalone]

Weihai abalone, Weihai specialty seafood, geographical indication product, one of the "eight treasures of seafood", is known as "the crown of seafood".

The clear waters, turbulent currents, algae, and rocky reefs in the Weihai sea area provide abundant bait and good growth space for the abalone survival. Therefore, the abalone produced here has the characteristics of tender meat, fresh but not greasy, rich in nutrition, and rich in flavor. Whether it’s cooking or making soup, they are all delicious and wonderful.

During the period of Dengzhou, Su Shi once wrote a long poem "A Trip to the Fish", saying that Jiaodong’s abalone and seafood are beautiful: "The people in Taiwan have a long bow to shoot, and the murlocs at the beginning have not known it. Xiling is old and empty, and he is willing to kiss Beihe. Feeding. The middle tyrant is separated by the Guanliang, and a gold medal is straight. A hundred-year-old northern and southern salmon dishes are always full of remnants. Dongsui Haibo, snails, foreign treasures come more. Moshaying sinks into a big one. Clam, cut the clams to make the remaining waves. You don’t hear about Penglai’s Tuoqi Island (Pengji Island). In August, the wind prepares Hu Liao..."

The "magic fish" in the poem refers to abalones, and the ancients called abalones abalones. In his poem, Su Shi described and enthusiastically praised the delicacy and historical anecdotes of mackerel fish. The whole poem has thirty-six sentences with seven words and many descriptions:
The first is to write the story of Wang Mang and Cao Cao eating abalone, which leads to the two males' addiction to abalone, which makes him think of the disgusting thing of his predecessors who greedily eat scabs in order to taste abalone; secondly, he writes about the inconvenience of road far away from the mainland and traffic barriers, Long Island Dangji The abalone produced is very expensive and "worth a thousand dollars", which leads to foreigners' catching and selling; thirdly, the abalone producing area, Dunji Island and the season and thrilling scenes of the abalone harvesting, tell people that there are not only seasons and time to defend against the enemy. The method of harvesting is also extremely complicated and difficult. Fourth, I write about the deliciousness and value of Jiaodong abalone, including processing, production, and collection methods. I also write about sending abalone to friends to express my deep friendship. Finally, I write about abalone raising eyes. Keep your eyes open in preparation for old age to study well. "Distribute the soup materials for eye-sight, but take detailed books to prevent old reading." At that time, Su Dongpo, who had just finished his five-year demotion in Huangzhou, had such excellent seafood as soon as he came to Dengzhou. The gluttonous delicacies made him happy.

The reason why Weihai abalone tastes so delicious is that the sea area of Weihai is suitable for abalone survival. There are a lot of reef areas with clear sea water, rapid water flow, high salinity and rich seaweed. Abalones most like to live on the reef gravel of several meters to tens of meters, especially the wrinkled Abalone which grows in the Rongcheng area of Weihai. Because they live in relatively low temperature waters all the year round, the growth period is relatively long, and the impact of the sea water is appropriate. Rich, its vitality and nutrition far exceed other species of abalone.

Throughout the dynasties, officials have dedicated abalone to the emperor as a tribute and were listed as an imperial meal. After the Qing Dynasty, there is even a saying about the eight treasures of the sea, and abalone is known as the crown of the eight treasures of the sea. There are many types of dishes made from abalone, such as "braised abalone" and "braided abalone", but in Weihai, the locals prefer the original fresh steamed abalone, which is extremely delicious. "
