Love touristing in Taiwan, DW’s country of origin. When in country, I just totally relax and enjoy the ride.
Oceanside town of Budai, a one hour drive pass rice paddies, fields of corn, many lagoons and canals. Lunch at a huge seafood emporium, large turnover ensures super fresh choices.
Running the gauntlet of tanks.
The all all important decision and discussion on which species, which individual, prep? Which apps and sides to complement the mains? Per usual, I acquiesced to DW to make these crucial decisions.
1st up. I had mentioned earlier that some prawns would be nice. These tasted fresh out of the sea, briny and snappy.
Oyster egg rolls. Mostly oyster, with bits of shrimp & scallops.
Squid sashimi. Not a personal favorite, but one of the wife’s must haves. These were large pieces with a great snap. I politely shared a piece or three.
Young tender spinach.
The star of the table.
Barely steamed.
Carapace and legs in a miso broth.
More than enough for the three of us. Somehow managed to finish it all.
