Sankuchiao Tzung-Kuo Qigu Oyster Omelet Introduction
Huang Zheng-guo, a native of Sangu, was originally a fisherman using fixed nets in the sea and ditches. After the government dismantled the fixed nets, he was appointed as a Black-faced Spoonbill patrol officer. In 2003, he learned the skill of making oyster pancakes from a grandmother selling them in Xinshi, and he and his wife, Yang Cai-xia, set up stalls selling oyster pancakes in Xinshi and Guiren respectively. As tourism in Qigu began to thrive, they moved back to their hometown, Qiaotou Fish Market in Sangu, in 2011 and registered as "A Guo Qigu Oyster Pancake" to continue their business. The batter for "A Guo Qigu Oyster Pancake" consists of: bean flour, wheat flour, and sweet potato flour, while the filling includes: cabbage, leeks, celery, and scallions, along with oysters. Huang Zheng-guo emphasizes that in addition to using fresh ingredients, controlling the heat is crucial for making delicious oyster pancakes. In addition to oyster pancakes, "A Guo Qigu Oyster Pancake" also sells fried wild shrimp, small sea fish, and small crabs, all of which are fresh seafood that Huang Zheng-guo personally catches using fixed nets in the sea early in the morning. The quantity varies daily, and they are not available every day, so the products are usually sold out shortly after opening. Therefore, visitors wanting to taste these fresh treats should arrive early!
