Sankou Qiaotou A-Guo Qigu Oysters Cake Introduction
Huang Zhengguo, a resident of Sangu, was originally a fisherman using fixed nets in the sea and ponds. After the government dismantled his fishing nets, he was assigned as a Black-faced Spoonbill patrolman. In 2003, he learned the craft of making oyster pancakes from a grandmother selling oyster pancakes in Xinshi, and he and his wife, Yang Caixia, set up stalls selling oyster pancakes in Xinshi and Guiren. In consideration of the rise of tourism in Qigu, they returned to their hometown and opened "Aguo Qigu Oyster Pancake" in 2011 on the seafood street at Qiaotou, Sangu. The batter for "Aguo Qigu Oyster Pancake" consists of: soybean flour, wheat flour, and rice flour, while the filling includes: cabbage, leeks, celery, green onions, and oysters. Huang Zhengguo emphasizes that besides using fresh ingredients, controlling the heat is crucial for making delicious oyster pancakes. In addition to oyster pancakes, "Aguo Qigu Oyster Pancake" also sells fried wild shrimp, fried small fish, and fried small crabs. These ingredients are freshly caught seafood, which Huang Zhengguo personally catches in the sea and brings back early in the morning after setting fixed fishing nets. The quantity varies daily, and they may not be available every day, so the stall often sells out shortly after opening. Therefore, visitors wanting to try these delicacies should come early!
