Qigu Sanbudeng Oyster Omelette Introduction
Qigu Lagoon is a remnant of the Tainan Inner Sea, and its tranquil and beautiful scenery is breathtaking. "Taking a bamboo raft to explore the lagoon and visiting Wangziliao Sandy Area to enjoy the sunset" has become a new tourism formula, attracting visitors from all over Taiwan to this legendary hidden gem. All visitors to Qigu Lagoon are in awe of its picturesque oyster racks, fixed nets, the rich ecology on the sandy banks, and the crescent-shaped sand dunes. They also cherish the delightful culinary memories of the fresh seafood sold by the fishermen at Wangziliao Sandy Area, such as oyster omelettes, oyster fritters, oyster rolls, squid balls, and fried tilapia. The Yang brothers, Guoyuan and Ruixing, are local fishermen who farm oysters and use fixed nets to catch fish for their livelihood. In the 1990s, with the rise of tourism in Qigu Lagoon, Yang Ruixing started operating a bamboo raft service for visitors. To enhance the variety of experiences for tourists landing at Wangziliao Sandy Area and to let them enjoy fresh seafood from the unpolluted Qigu Lagoon, Yang Guoyuan began selling fried oyster omelettes, oyster fritters, and tilapia at Wangziliao Sandy Area in 2003. Due to their fresh and delicious offerings, they received great acclaim and became another attraction of the lagoon. Today, due to the inward movement of the coastline, the area of Qigu Lagoon is gradually shrinking and becoming shallower, and the terrain at Wangziliao Sandy Area has significantly changed.
