Sankuchiao Aqueduct A-Guo Qigu Oyster Omelet Introduction
Huang Zhengguo, a native of Sangu, was originally a trap net fisherman in Haigou and Wengou. After the government dismantled the trap nets, he was assigned to become a Black-faced Spoonbill protector. In 2003, he learned the skills of making oyster pancakes from an elderly lady selling them in Xinshi, and he and his wife Yang Caixia set up stalls selling oyster pancakes in Xinshi and Guiren respectively. Due to the rise of tourism in Qigu, they relocated back to their hometown at the seafood street in Sangu Qiaotou in 2011 and opened "Aguo Qigu Oyster Pancake." The batter for "Aguo Qigu Oyster Pancake" is made from: soybean flour, wheat flour, and glutinous rice flour, while the filling includes: cabbage, chives, celery, scallions, and oysters. Huang Zhengguo emphasizes that aside from the need for 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, all of which are freshly caught seafood that Huang Zhengguo personally sets traps for in Haigou and catches in the early morning. The quantity varies each day and is not guaranteed to be available every day, so the stall often sells out soon after opening. Therefore, visitors wanting to taste them should arrive early!
