Is the Danish oyster flood hype or real

On April 24, a request for help post posted on the official Weibo of the Danish Embassy in China went viral. According to the article, Denmark is currently invaded by a new species, the Pacific oyster, which has caused great damage to the local ecology. The full text is as follows:

Oysters, known as the "milk of the sea", are sought after by diners because of their high nutritional value, delicious taste and tender texture. Oysters are also a favorite food ...... many gay menHowever, there is one type of oyster that does not seem to be so popular in Denmark.

This oyster is called the Pacific oyster, which was originally not part of the Danish seas. Now, the invasion of this new species in the promised land of Denmark is simply lawless, causing great damage to the ecological environment of the coast. They have no natural predators in Denmark and thrive on the coast, and those who want to swim in the water have to wear shoes to cross them.

Not only that, but the original Danish limfjord oysters were also crushed to death by them. Danish scientists and fishermen have complained to the Danish Nature Conservation Agency many times, but there is still no way to deal with these intractable intruders. This species comes from the southern seas and has grown over the decades to become what it is today.

In fact, scientists sounded the alarm as early as 2010.

Professor Jens Kjerulf Petersen, director of the Danish Shellfish Research Centre, sent a letter to the Nature Conservation Authority, making clear the seriousness of the Pacific oyster invasion problem. It is also recommended that the authorities map the distribution of Pacific oysters and adopt feasible methods to stop its spread. However, the authorities were not interested in this.

The Nature Conservation Agency and the Environmental Protection Agency responded that they had no financial support at the time and that all projects were frozen. As a result, they did not take timely and effective measures. "I think we should have focused on this in 2010 so that we wouldn't have the same big trouble as we have now," Professor Jens said.

I didn't say that the authorities didn't do anything, because I can't guarantee that the problem will be completely solved at that time, but we really didn't take that good opportunity."

Responding to the letter, Environmental Protection Agency biologist Hans Erik Svart said, "I don't think we're doing anything, it's just that what I'm doing is hard." Professor Jens is aware of the seriousness of the matter, but I don't see any useful advice in his letter. Pacific oysters have been growing in the Wadden Sea for decades, and we don't have anything we can do about it.

It really has nothing to do with money, and no matter how much money you give me, I don't have a problem."

Really, Denmark produces oysters, but this Pacific oyster is a very common and cheap variety.

The cause of the oyster flood in Denmark: the Pacific oyster invasion.

The crazy oysters mentioned here are not the original European oysters in Denmark, but the Pacific oysters. And the reason for the flood is the so-called invasion of biological species. Because they have no natural predators in Denmark and grow wildly along the coast, the original Danish oysters have also been killed by them taking up too much living space.

This type of oyster, known as Pacific oyster, was originally not part of Danish waters. Now, this new species has invaded Denmark and is causing great damage to the orange environment on the coast. After the invasion of alien pests into the new area suitable for growth, its population will multiply rapidly, and gradually develop into a new "dominant species" in the local area, which seriously destroys the local ecological security.

Since 2009, the production and demand for oysters in China have shown an increasing trend, and in 2013, the production of oysters was 4.2 million tons, while the demand was about 4.17 million tons. In recent years, although the domestic oyster market demand in China is expanding, the production technology is also further upgraded, so it is still in the situation of self-production and self-sale, but China will also import some high-quality oysters.

Exporting Danish oysters to China is like adding water to a cup that has already overflowed, overflowing with the original water, but also adding water that did not go in, which is also a vivid interpretation of the Danish oyster's entry into the Chinese market. However, because the oysters in Denmark are Pacific oysters, which are as large as the soles of shoes and tasteless, even if they are imported food, they may trigger Chinese consumers to buy themIt will only occupy a large market share because of its relatively poor qualityUnless the means of low-price competition are used, but the high transportation costs and our country will not allow such a situation. So, in general, the export of Danish oysters to the Chinese market will not deal a blow to the Chinese oyster market.

The moon in a foreign country is rounder than in China. "In fact, European oysters do have a relatively high quality, which is related to the fact that Europe is located in the oceanic waters and the areas affected by cold and warm currentsThe oysters that are flooded in Denmark this time are not the oysters bred in Denmark, but are invaded by the Pacific oysters, and the oysters of this species have been proven: the taste is not delicious, so it cannot compete with the oysters in the southeast coastal areas of our country from this point on

Even though imported food is more attractive to Chinese people, due to the stereotype that imported food is of good quality, if you know the characteristics of Pacific oysters, then very few people buy them.

In addition, in recent years, China's oyster production has exceeded demand, and China will import some high-grade and high-quality European oysters every yearThe market has reached a saturated state, and if foreign products want to compete for a part of the market share, they must have some individual advantages, otherwise they will not be able to compete with the existing products。What's more, the cost of long-distance transportation makes Danish oysters higher than domestic oysters, and under the premise of not having advantages, it is impossible to attract consumers in terms of oysters, so it is unlikely that Danish oysters will enter the Chinese market and have an impact on China's oyster industry.

To sum up, firstly, Danish oysters are not easy to enter the Chinese market, and secondly, entering the Chinese market will not cause a blow.

China accounts for 80% of the world's oyster production, how much impact do you think it can be, and the oysters that are rampant in Denmark are the same variety as those produced in China.

And the Danish trick was played a long time ago.

Europeans have always loved to eat oysters, oysters have a long history of farming in Europe, and Pacific oysters entered Europe to eat them, and now they can't finish eating them, just because they are too common (Danes prefer homegrown limfjord oysters, according to a CNN travel channel report in November last year, one can be sold for dollars in restaurants).

In other words, the Pacific oysters from the Rotten Street are not selling well in Denmark.

What to do? Try selling to foreigners.

The Danes know this trick well. The Danish tourism official ** introduced the tourist attractions with Pacific oysters as a selling point, and the introduction is "The local oyster species is Pacific oysters, which can reach up to 20 cm in length." ”

No later than 2010, there was an English** introduction to the marketing of oyster tourism in Denmark.

The routine is the same: portray it as an ecological catastrophe that needs to be rescued by you, the tourist.

The same routine, sold for many years, came to the Chinese market in 2017.

Chinese netizens and ** are very popular, as if they have picked up a bargain.

Let's take a look at the Weibo that I started posting.

After the start of April 24, netizens began to discuss the request for an oyster visa in response like this

Take a look at this style of Pippi Shrimp and experience it for yourself in my home

Qyer keeps up

Visit Denmark came out to stand in line

I can't play anymore, of course, I have to admit that other people's routines are good.

I can't stop at all.

Pretend to be calm hahaha.

That's the point, and the April 24 Weibo post was a warm-up for the Danish prime minister's visit to China, mainly to promote Danish tourism and increase exports.

During the period, I signed a spokesperson agreement with Yi Yang Qianxi Qyer.com, Tmall, JD.com, Yi Yang Qianxi, this was all negotiated before, and I was ready to release it together at this time.

Open today's Weibo I have already been on the Weibo open advertisement.

You see, this set of combination punches is so smooth that it can't be 6 anymore.

For oysters, well, who has time to see for themselves the strife between oysters and oysters.

My favorite way to eat oysters is steaming.

Clean the oysters one by one with a brush, then go directly to the steamer and steam, and it will be out of the pot in a maximum of 10 minutes!

This oyster is steaming hot, and with a spoon, you can open it, and the juice inside is full, and the soft time with the fragrance begins.

Some people like to cook, I don't like it, the taste is all in the water, do you still plan to drink the soup directly? Or are you going to cook wontons with this soup? Or do you want to make your own oyster sauce, dear?

I don't put any seasoning, it is sweet to be the original taste.

You put cheese, ginger, garlic, you put it in, can you still eat that natural deliciousness?

You can't eat fresh oysters, so that's all you can do? 2333333333

I live by the sea, and it is still very convenient when I want to eat these seafoods, not to mention that I have friends who are engaged in these seafood farming. It's very convenient to eat. When it comes to seafood, it's important to eat it fresh.

One is the health problem, seafood in its natural state, rotting very quickly, easy to breed bacteria, if you eat bad stomach will outweigh the loss. In order to make seafood available to people who do not live near the sea, they have to choose various ways to increase the shelf life, such as refrigeration, freeze-drying, traditional sun-drying and salting.

But these three kinds of storage, there are certain problems, take drying as an example, when you want to eat, you need to soak the hair, not to mention the handicraft of soaking, do you think the taste of this fresh and dried and then soaked can be the same? Do you say that fish and fillet taste the same? Not to mention salted, salty!

The salty umami is gone.

Now there is an air transport that can send seafood salvaged from the seaside directly to inland cities, but will it hang up on the way=. = It's not new when it's dead. This difference is very big, you can look at the live crab and the dead crab, this is completely two **, the world of difference is not exaggerated, right?

Moreover, this kind of transportation can only take care of cities with airplane routes, which will definitely be more expensive. How is this possible to get to the table of ordinary people, isn't it?

It's like this Danish oyster is overflowing, anyway, there are so many, why can't you hire someone to dig them up and sell them as dry goods or something? Why do you have to let people eat in Denmark? One is to generate other economic benefits, and the other is not to eat fresh oysters?

Oysters are also known as oysters, and I, who live by the sea, are naturally very familiar with this. Whenever the tide is low, there are always people on the beach picking up oysters that let the waves hit. There are many ways to eat oysters, steaming, roasting, garlic or peeling off the shell to cook noodles, making soups, roasting oysters...

Alas, there are too many to count.

If you want to eat the original flavor, steamed, although delicious, is far less delicious than baked. If you steam the oysters for too long, the oysters inside will be too old to bite into. Grilled oysters are different, as long as you see the oysters open their mouths and roast them for a while, they can be eaten, and they are absolutely fresh to the extreme.

To say that the most commonly eaten is to boil oyster noodles, first peel off the shell, take out the oyster meat, wash it with water and set aside, wait for the noodles to boil in the pot, and then put the prepared oyster meat into the pot, when the pot is boiled again, you can eat. A night of steaming oyster noodles is definitely a delicacy you can't refuse.
