Food heritage & tasting
Chaoshan raw marinated seafood is a unique delicacy from the Chaoshan region, made primarily from fresh seafood such as oysters, snails, conch, shrimp, and razor clams, prepared through a distinctive raw marination process. During preparation, the seafood is not heated; instead, it is directly marinated with Chaoshan special soy sauce, minced garlic, chili, sesame oil, and other seasonings, allowing the seafood to retain its natural freshness while adding layers of texture. Raw marinated seafood has a refreshing and delicious taste, with a slight spiciness and garlic aroma, and a tender, bouncy texture. It is especially suitable for summer or seaside travel. Chaoshan locals enjoy raw marinated seafood at family gatherings, festivals, or night markets by the sea, and it is also a must-try for tourists experiencing Chaoshan food culture.
