It is deeply loved by people and has become a local delicacy in Weihai. "The Legend of Seafood Swan Eggs" There is a fishing village along the coast of Jiaodong. According to legend, there were two young people in the village in ancient times. One was named Zishifang. He was kind-hearted, hard-working and brave, and had excellent water properties. Three to five feet of water could easily level the ground. One is called a toad, he is lazy to eat, ruthless, does all kinds of evil, disturbs chickens and dogs, but is not used to water. One day, after a violent storm, an injured white swan fell on the beach. The toad wandered to the beach. When he saw the injured swan, he was overjoyed and thought to himself, people say that it is a dream for a toad to eat swan meat. Today, my dream is really going to come true. So he hurriedly took the swan home, boiled water and sharpened the knife. Just when he was about to kill the swan, Zishifang heard that the toad had picked up a swan and wanted to kill it for meat. He hurriedly broke into the toad's house, snatched the knife from the toad's hand, and shouted loudly that he could not kill the swan. The swan was a sacred bird and could not be killed. The toad tilted his head and said, "I'm about to eat swan meat, so don't meddle in my own business." Zi Shifang said that he couldn’t kill the swan. As long as you don’t kill the swan, I will give you whatever you want. The toad said fine, you can not kill the swan, but you have to give me a hundred swan eggs. Zishifang was eager to save the swan, so he agreed immediately. Zishifang took the swan home. After more than a month of careful care and recuperation, the swan recovered. Zishifang took it to the beach and let it fly. The white swan flew into the sky, circled three times, shouted three times, and flew away reluctantly into the distance. At night, Zishifang stayed up all night worrying about the one hundred swan eggs. It was not until early morning that he closed his eyes dimly for a while. He saw a beautiful girl in white clothes and plain skirt coming. She bowed first, thanked her benefactor for saving her, and said that you promised toad a hundred swan eggs. I went back to discuss with the sisters, and they agreed to help you. Three days later, you asked toad to go to the southeast sea to get it from the water two feet deep in the southeast sea. After saying that, he waved and disappeared into the morning light. Three days later, Zishifang made an appointment with Toad and a few young men with good water skills to row a small boat to the southeastern sea to touch swan eggs. The toad was sitting on the boat. Zi Shifang and a few young people went down into the water more than two feet. Sure enough, they touched the swan eggs and loaded them on the boat. When the toad saw so many swan eggs, he got carried away and jumped up and down. He accidentally stepped on the boat and capsized all the people on the boat together with the swan eggs. When they arrived at the sea, Zi Shifang rescued several young people on the boat, and then went to rescue the toad. Because the toad did not know the properties of water, he hugged Zi Shifang's hands tightly. Although Zi Shifang had superhuman water properties, his hands were hugged by the toad, and after a period of struggle, they both sank to the bottom of the sea. Since then, this sea area has produced shellfish that look like swan eggs and have extremely delicious taste. In order to commemorate Zishifang's bravery and kindness, the villagers called this shellfish Zishifang Clam. And because the shellfish is transformed from a swan egg, and it is shaped like a swan egg, people are accustomed to calling the purple stone clam a swan egg. Stir-fried swan eggs is the most famous local dish in our country. Fresh swan eggs are cut open with a razor blade to remove the meat and then stir-fried in hot oil with green peppers, cucumbers, fungus and other ingredients. It is a high-end seafood dish. Seafood swan eggs can also be eaten as sashimi, made into soup, and made into dumplings. This time I recommend a dish of fried swan eggs. The recipe is very simple and is basically the same as the fried dish. The most important thing is that the main ingredient of this dish, the swan eggs, must be fresh, which means it is best to use live swan eggs to highlight the freshness and sweetness of the dish. The shell of the swan egg itself is used as a container to retain the original flavor of the dish.
