Basic introduction to Changli scallops
There is a saying in the bay scallop world that the world's scallops look to China, China's scallops look to Hebei, Hebei's scallops look to Qinhuangdao, and Qinhuangdao's scallops look to Changli. The scallop farming and processing volume ranks first in the country's counties. In June 2021, Changli scallops were recognized as agricultural products with geographical indications by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs. Changli County has a coastline of 64.9 kilometers, with suitable temperatures, superior water quality, and abundant bait organisms. The sandy bottom, excellent marine environment, and rich breeding experience of local fishermen have created the production of raw sashimi-grade scallops in Changli. Changli County, Qinhuangdao, has been breeding bay scallops on a large scale since the 1990s. The scallops produced are tender and smooth, juicy, elastic, and nutritious, with a zinc content of 40% to 50%, and a protein content of more than 60%, which is much higher than similar products in other regions. In recent years, Changli County, Hebei Province, has promoted the sustainable development of scallop farming by improving scallop varieties and reducing farming density. While benefiting the restoration of marine ecology, it has also achieved good economic benefits. Today, Changli scallops are not only processed into cold fresh food for export to Asia, America, and other places, but also processed into casual instant snacks and scallop sauce, scallop canned food, scallop semi-finished products, and other rich and diverse deep-processed products, so that consumers can taste the taste of Changli in Bohai Bay all year round.
