Jellyfish from Bayuquan are celebrated for their delicate, savory taste, famous across Liaoning and the whole country. Every June and July, the jellyfish fishing season brings bustling scenes to fishing villages along every bay. Abundant jellyfish resources generate substantial income for local fishermen and fuel the booming development of aquatic product deep-processing enterprises.
Yingkou’s jellyfish culture dates back centuries, with two main varieties: white jellyfish and sand jellyfish. White jellyfish is a premium grade with tender, purple-white flesh and exquisite flavor; sand jellyfish features thick, pure white meat free of impurities, distinguished by its large size and heavy weight. Jellyfish is nutrient-dense, extremely low in fat and rich in protein and minerals. The jellyfish production zone stretches from the lower Liao River estuary in the north to the coastal Guzhou area in the south.
