Qigu Sanbuteng Oyster Omelette Introduction
Qigu Lagoon is a remnant of the Tainan Inner Sea, famed for its tranquil and beautiful scenery that leaves visitors in awe. "Taking a bamboo raft to explore the lagoon and visiting Wangziliao to enjoy the sunset" has become a new travel formula that attracts tourists from all over Taiwan to this legendary secret paradise. Every visitor to Qigu Lagoon is captivated by its picturesque oyster racks, fixed nets, rich biodiversity on the sandy beaches, and crescent-shaped sand dunes. They also cherish the delightful memories of the seafood offered by the fishermen of Wangziliao, such as oyster pancakes, crispy oysters, oyster rolls, squid balls, and fried snakehead fish. The Yang brothers, Yang Guoyuan and Yang Ruixing, are local fishermen in Longshan who cultivate oysters and catch fish using fixed nets in Qigu Lagoon for their livelihood. With the rise of tourism in Qigu Lagoon in the 1990s, Yang Ruixing shifted to operating a rubber raft to take visitors on tours of the lagoon. To enhance the diverse experiences for visitors and allow them to taste the fresh, unpolluted seafood of Qigu Lagoon, Yang Guoyuan started selling fried oyster pancakes, crispy oysters, and fried snakehead fish in Wangziliao in 2003. Due to their freshness and deliciousness, they quickly gained a great reputation, becoming another highlight for visitors to the lagoon. Today, due to the coastline retreating, the area of Qigu Lagoon is gradually shrinking and silting, and the topography of Wangziliao has changed significantly.
