Hainan charcoal grilled oysters
Almost every barbecue garden in Haikou has it, but the cooking methods are different, and the taste is different.
When I go to eat oysters with friends, I usually drink some wine, peel a few oysters, clink glasses a few times, and talk about some life topics that have nothing to do with romance. It seems that the memories are all gathered together. Come over. After eating the soft meat of oysters, I feel a little dizzy. Wine can always stimulate some inspiration and emotions after eating oysters. That night, my sleep must have been particularly sweet.
Because most of the time we eat them in the barbecue garden, the process of eating oysters is relatively simple. When served, most of the oysters are in two halves, with the oyster meat close to one side. There is always some juice mixed with various ginger, garlic, sauces and other seasonings in the oyster shell. When enjoying, use a toothpick to lightly When the ground shakes the oyster's roots, it comes out obediently. Dip in some mustard and it will taste more mellow and authentic. The mustard must be dipped evenly, otherwise you will choke with tears.
According to friends who are more knowledgeable, the main ways to eat oysters were boiled, stir-fried with ginger and green onions, iron plated, fried and so on. I don’t find it very interesting to eat it with ginger and green onion, stir-fried, fried or fried. It’s better to boil it to get the original flavor, or use cheese and butter to bring out the fragrant oyster flavor. Most of the barbecue gardens mainly serve boiled oysters. The barbecue garden at Shimao Road has a superb grilled oysters, which I miss the most. When I go to the barbecue garden with my friends to drink, I always like to order the plump Hengqin oysters. The soup base is made with Chinese cabbage, tofu and bacon. It has a smooth texture when I bite it off, and the oyster juice overflows with texture. Extremely rich. As for the most popular one now, it is probably "charcoal grilled oysters". It has the aroma of garlic and oysters, and a little charcoal flavor. It tastes really sweet and fragrant. As for whether it will be "hot" after eating, I can't worry about that much. Anyway, There are tea gardens and teahouses everywhere in Haikou.
When eating oysters, seasoning cannot be ignored, usually "lemon juice and sauce" or mustard. These sauces can make the oysters taste fresher. But many people like to use lemon juice, because lemon juice can not only moderately reduce the algae smell of oysters, but also bring out the unique rich and sweet taste of oysters with its fragrance and sourness. Of course, if It can be paired with some cold white wine to make it even more authentic. If you are not afraid of fishy taste, you don’t need to use too complicated sauce. The original flavor can always better highlight the inner quality of the dish. People who are afraid of the fishy smell can eat it by heating it for a longer time and tasting it more mature. However, don't use thick sauce to cover up the unique smell of oysters.
Having two glasses of wine while eating oysters is the best way to enjoy food. Some people say that drinking dry white wine or champagne is a good pairing. However, I think that deep-sea oysters are translucent and are considered to be fantasy objects. If you use a crystal clear, curved red wine glass, pour half a cup of dry red wine, and dip some mustard on the oysters ( Friends who like strong flavors or are afraid of choking may wish to dip them in tomato sauce), pick up the oyster shell, pick up the whole oyster and chew it slowly, the taste nerves transmit a wild -, and then look at the amber-like Red wine, tasted and drank slowly, is another kind of fun. This way of eating can be regarded as a very high sensory enjoyment from taste to sight.
Of course, when a group of friends get together, it’s not bad to have a few bottles of beer. While drinking and drinking, everyone is happy together. Especially when the wine is sober, everyone rushing to eat oysters is the most unforgettable memory.
