Ouyue - Merchant Reviews

Different from the situation of Taizhou cuisine, which also belongs to southern Zhejiang, Wenzhou cuisine is not well-known in Shanghai, and there are only a handful of Wenzhou cuisine restaurants in Shanghai, and Ouyue is one of them. Wenzhou was called "Ou" in ancient times, and Wenzhou cuisine was also called "Ou cuisine", and the name of the store Ouyue came from this.

Wenzhou has a long coastline, so Oucai is rich in seafood. The owner of Ouyue has been working in Wenzhou for several years, and he is familiar with the supply of seafood, and can always get the freshest ingredients. Fujian and Zhejiang have always had the habit of eating raw seafood, and Wenzhou people are no exception. The river crab is the pike crab, Ouyue takes the small pike crab caught in the waters near the Oujiang River, washes and chops the pieces, soaks it in vinegar, soy sauce and rice wine for an hour, it can be eaten on the table, although it is not as delicious as the Chaoshan raw pickled and delicious tongue, but it is also clear and flavorful, sweet and sour, the sauce is fresh, and it is not as salty as the Ningbo crab, with a unique flavor. Crab into the hot dish, then to the cockle (commonly called the midge, that is, the blue crab) is better, with Wenzhou folk home roast method cooking, light color and strong taste. The crabs selected by Ouyue are all full, if it is the crab-eating season, it is a red paste with a huge body, the meat is fresh and sweet, and the soup is also very fresh. East China Sea seafood such as shrimp, razor clams, sea melon seeds, pomfret, white water fish, and small yellow croaker are all fresh and delicious, or boiled, or home-roasted, or roasted in scallion oil.

Blood cockles are also one of Ouyue's must-order dishes, boiling water is lightly boiled, no oil and salt are applied and the five flavors are complete, although Ouyue's cockles are not big, but all of them are fat and strong. Wenzhou fish cakes, duck tongue and shrimp skin are all well-known Wenzhou side dishes, the fish cakes are tough and flavorful, the duck tongue is fragrant and the wine is delicious, and the shrimp skin is sweet and sour with coriander.

Zhejiang waters are rich in catfish, Wenzhou people have produced a lot of cooking techniques for catfish, the aforementioned Wenzhou fish cake, is one of them. The fish in Ouyue are all fresh from the East China Sea, each weighing more than ten catties, with a large head and firm meat. The most homely way to make the fish is the fish ball soup, which is also a specialty of Ouyue, and the interesting thing is that the Wenzhou fish balls are not round, but irregular strips. Cut the fish into pieces, add a little starch and green onion and ginger, beat the hands vigorously, then pinch out the lumps, blanch the clear soup, and hook into the soup base. The soup is also very refreshing, with nothing but rice vinegar and white pepper, a typical consommé with the original taste of food. Another three-wire knock fish soup is also quite distinctive, the fish fillet meat, repeatedly beaten into thin slices, after blanching, with three shredded ham, shredded chicken, shredded mushrooms, the fish fillets are flexible and elastic, and the taste is sweet and fresh. Fried dried noodles are the classic staple food of Wenzhou, Ouyue is unambiguous, the dried noodles are not mushy or hard, the appearance is crisp, and the woks are full.

Ouyue was originally located on Guyang Road, and after the move, it was moved to the 2nd floor of Qianjiang Business Plaza not far away. The decoration of the restaurant is simple and simple, without decoration, but the hygiene is acceptable, new and tidy. The restaurant has a good service attitude, responds to requests, and is quick with hands and feet. Ouyue looks like an ordinary small shop, but the price of vegetables is not close to the people, after the relocation is even higher, taking fish and shrimp as an example, regardless of the type of block, basically a pound is 100 yuan up. However, Ouyue's production is quite reliable, and there are very few Wenzhou restaurants in Shanghai, so it can be regarded as a safe choice for early adopters.
