Oysters, also known as oysters, are delicious and have high nutritional value. They are precious seafood products. Oysters are the world's largest farmed shellfish. So where are the oysters produced in my country? Which oysters are the most delicious? Let me introduce them to you below.

1. Zhanjiang Oysters

Oysters are produced in coastal areas across the country, and the most famous are Zhanjiang oysters. Zhanjiang is surrounded by the sea on three sides, with a coastline of more than 1,300 kilometers, making it the city with the longest coastline in the country. Zhanjiang has many bays, vast tidal flats, reefs and overlapping rocks along the coast. In addition, Zhanjiang was a volcanic eruption area in ancient times, which contains a large amount of trace elements and minerals, nourishing plankton and making it multiply and aggregate in large numbers, becoming a delicious food for oysters. Zhanjiang oysters have won the favor of the market with their unique qualities of delicious taste, plump meat, tenderness, softness and crispness.

2. Chengcun Oysters

“Go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to taste crabs, and go to Yangjiang to eat oysters”, which refers to the oysters from Chengcun Town, Yangxi County, Guangdong Province. The “Chengcun Oyster”, which is protected by the National Geographical Indication Product and is well-known at home and abroad, has a breeding history of more than 180 years. The main breeding species is the Near River Oyster. The oysters in Chengcun Town are located at the mouth of Fengtou River and Zhit River. The water here is moderately salty, and there are many harbors and rich microorganisms under the ground, which is very suitable for oyster growth. The characteristics of Chengcun oysters are large size, sweet taste, and bright color. The oysters produced every year are exported to China, Hong Kong, and Macau.

3. Shajing Oysters

Shajing, Bao'an, Shenzhen is known as the "Millennium Oyster Town". The oysters produced here are very famous and are the most famous specialty of Shenzhen. The oysters here are produced at the intersection of salt and fresh water at the mouth of the Pearl River. They are fat, milky white, tender and rich in protein and vitamins. The iodine content is 200 times that of milk and egg yolk. In the 1990s, the discharge of industrial and domestic sewage along the Pearl River caused the water quality to decline, which in turn affected the water quality of oyster breeding areas. The oyster breeding industry in Shajing was devastated. Shajing oysters not only became smaller, but also did not taste as good as before. But after years of improvement, the quality of Shajing oysters is still very good.

4. Rushan Oyster

Rushan City is located at the southeastern end of Shandong Peninsula. Rushan has a coastline of 199 kilometers and has 500,000 mu of aquaculture sea areas that meet the national Class I seawater quality standards. The two major rivers flowing into the sea, Huanglei River and Rushan River, provide rich nutrients to the sea area, promoting the reproduction and growth of marine basic organisms required for oyster growth. Thanks to the unique sea conditions and climate environment, Rushan oysters are large, fat, good meat and delicious. In 2008, "Rushan Oyster" was officially approved and announced by the State Administration for Industry and Commerce and became a geographical indication trademark.

5. Chenzhou Oysters

Chenzhou Oyster Island has a mild climate, small temperature difference, abundant rainfall and sufficient sunlight, making it an excellent place for oyster farming. The meat of Chenzhou oysters is milky white, and the meat is not only strong but also crisp, with a strong taste. It is known as ocean milk and is famous for its fat, tender, fresh and delicious taste. The Chenzhou oysters produced here are exported to Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Hong Kong and other places.

1. Origin of Guangdong Oysters: Guangdong produces oysters from eastern Guangdong to western Guangdong. 1. Zhanjiang Oysters (Zhanjiang, Guangdong). The most famous in Guangdong and even in China is the Zhanjiang oyster, but Zhanjiang is not the earliest place to raise oysters. Oysters were mainly used to produce oyster sauce and dried oysters. Zhanjiang oysters are mainly famous for "Zhanjiang Grilled Oysters", the first Internet celebrity in the oyster world. It is the best partner of garlic + oysters. It is simple, fast and delicious, making oysters spread all over the streets. 2. Chenzhou Oysters (Shanwei, Guangdong) and Nan'ao Oysters (Shantou, Guangdong). These two places mainly produce small oysters, which are the popular goose egg oysters now; small in size, cheap, suitable for steaming. 3. Chengcun Oysters (Yangjiang, Guangdong). Chengcun produces a lot of grilled oysters every year. The characteristics of Yangjiang oysters are that there are more impurities and the price is relatively cheap. 4. Bao'an Shajing oysters (Shenzhen, Guangdong), Nanshan oysters (Shenzhen, Guangdong), Shenzhen is one of the earliest places in Guangdong to cultivate oysters, especially Shajing oysters, which are of very good quality and widely popular. Overseas Chinese often miss them, but due to the industrialization and urbanization of Shenzhen, many Shajing oysters are pulled back from other places to process dried oysters. 5. Hengqin oysters (Zhuhai, Guangdong), Zhuhai began to cultivate and pack wholesale oysters on a large scale. Zhuhai oysters have a very large output and are very suitable for barbecue. Every year when Zhuhai oysters are on the market, the price will suddenly drop. China's largest oyster distribution center-Guangzhou market pursues fat oysters while low-priced oysters. Many Zhuhai oysters are on the market when they are Zhuhai oysters. 6. Taishan oysters (Jiangmen, Guangdong), Taishan oysters are like gods. Everyone sells them by kilograms, but they can sell them by piece. Why? They are super fat! They are fat and big, so a large part of Taishan oysters are made into dried oysters, opened oyster meat for banquets and daily family consumption. 7. Dianbai oysters (Maoming, Guangdong), Huidong oysters (Huizhou, Guangdong), Chaoshan oysters (Chaozhou, Shantou, Guangdong), space is limited, and will be supplemented later. 2. Oyster production area in Guangxi A long time ago, Guangxi was poor and simple at the beginning. The oysters raised in Hepu County were basically taken back by the brothers in Zhanjiang next door to process oyster sauce, a few cents per pound~~! As oyster barbecue became famous, oysters suddenly became valuable. The entire Guangxi from the border of Guangdong to the border of Vietnam is an oyster breeding base. In summer, barbecue is popular, Guangdong is short of oysters, and the docks are all Guangdong-branded trucks coming to Guangxi to pull oysters. 1. Beihai oysters (Beihai, Guangxi), Beihai oysters are listed as national geographical indication products. Beihai oyster farming has a history of more than 300 years. Now there are about 46,000 acres. Beihai oysters have an advantage that other places do not have. Oysters can be produced all year round. In summer, they are shallow salty oysters (represented by Yanlou oysters) and in winter, they are deep-sea saltwater oysters (represented by Tieshangang oysters). 2. Qinzhou oysters (Qinzhou, Guangxi), traditionally a base for oyster seedling cultivation, and in recent years, a large number of oysters have been cultivated. 3. Fangchenggang oysters (Fangchenggang/Dongxing, Guangxi), this place is magical, because it is close to Vietnam, and there are Vietnamese oysters mixed in for some reason, hehe~ 3. Shandong oyster production area: 1. Rushan oysters (Rushan, Shandong), you have all heard of it, the first internet celebrity of oysters is "Zhanjiang oyster barbecue", and the second internet celebrity is Rushan oysters, which have made great contributions on e-commerce Taobao. 2. Rongcheng oysters (Weihai, Shandong), Nanhai oysters (Nanhai, Shandong), Hongdao oysters (Qingdao, Shandong), because Rushan oysters are too famous, oysters in other places in Shandong... I won't say much. 4. Liaoning oyster production area: 1. Bay oysters (Dalian), Dalian oysters are suppressed by Rushan oysters, and they have never been convinced. Dalian colleagues are quietly working hard to create the concept of Dalian cold water oysters and oyster islands, come on! 2.
