Central News Agency

(Central News Agency reporter Yang Szu-Jui, Tainan, April 27) Oyster farming in Tainan's coastal areas is in full swing. The city government is assisting with marketing under the brand "Tainan Oysters" and has partnered with over 50 local catering and aquaculture businesses to promote creative dishes such as "Oyster Rice Pudding" (蚵仔碗粿) and "Oyster Hot Dog" (蚵仔大亨堡), showcasing the versatility of fresh oyster ingredients.

Tainan Mayor Huang Wei-Che, speaking today at a marketing press conference in Cigu District, stated that oysters have always been deeply loved by the Taiwanese people and are a popular ingredient in both street stalls and high-end restaurants. Tainan's coastal areas, including Cigu, Beimen, Jiangjun, and Anping, are ideally suited for oyster farming due to excellent water quality, tidal conditions, and geographical advantages, producing high-quality and delicious oysters.

Mayor Huang Wei-Che emphasized, "Don't be afraid to compare goods; just be afraid of not knowing good goods." The city government promotes "Tainan Oysters" as a brand highlighting high-quality local fresh oysters. Through market promotion and consumer support, they hope to further enhance its reputation. Oyster cooking methods are diverse, including classic delicacies such as oyster porridge, oyster omelets, fried oysters, and oyster vermicelli. Everyone is invited to visit Tainan during the fattest season for oysters to taste authentic Tainan oysters.

According to data provided by the Tainan City Agriculture Bureau, oysters are known as "milk of the sea," not only for their high nutritional value but also for their sweet and tender taste. Cigu, Beimen, Jiangjun, Anping, and Annan coastal areas are all production regions. The peak seasons are from October to February of the following year and from March to June. Under the nourishment of sunshine and seawater, high-quality oysters are cultivated.

The Agriculture Bureau stated that the Greater Beimen area is a crucial production area for Tainan's flat-rack oyster farming, with about 3,000 racks. Through the "Tainan Oyster" brand certification system, not only is industrial competitiveness enhanced, but a complete traceability mechanism is also established, ensuring product quality and allowing consumers to purchase with confidence.

The Agriculture Bureau mentioned that this marketing campaign connects over 50 local catering and aquaculture businesses to jointly promote diverse fresh oyster dishes, ranging from classic oyster vermicelli, grilled oysters, oyster omelets, and fried oysters to highly creative "Oyster Rice Pudding" and "Oyster Hot Dog," demonstrating the multifaceted appearance of Tainan oysters from farm to table.
