Fried razor clam in Putian

Introduction:

"Razor clam is not only a soup dish at the family dinner, but also a favorite soup for the guests in the restaurant. So why is it called razor clam fried? It turns out that the word "fried" has a legend along the coast of Putian. It is said that in the old days, a plague was prevalent along the coast, which seriously threatened people's lives and health, and some villages died. What is puzzling is that no one died in the villages closest to the sea. It is the folk doctors who have learned a truth from the treatment of patients: several villages along the coast breed Sinonovacula constricta and have eaten it to make all kinds of clear soup. And razor clams work. So under the propaganda of the people's doctors, all the villagers in the epidemic villages cooked clam porridge to eat. Sure enough, the plague soon "slipped" and was no longer popular. The common people said that it was Sinonovacula constricta that drove away the disease, so gradually spread a legend of eating fried meat to drive away the disease among the masses. In the food culture, some people think that changing the word "Liu" to the word "fried" means that razor clam fried is processed and cooked, which is more in line with the original meaning. "
