1. Honeybees (蜜蜂)
Shanghai's weirdest foods Bees
Indulge your "sweet tooth" with a bowl of deep-fried honeybees.

Wild honeybees are a traditional Yunnan dish. Locals go far into the mountains at night to find their nests.

The best preparation is deep-fried with salt and pepper, says waiter Zhou Zhirong, a member of Yunnan’s Hani minority group (哈尼族).

“They’re just delicious,” he says. “They’re naturally sweet and tasty.”

Stop in at the Southern Barbarian on Jinxian Lu; they serve a tri-bug plate (RMB 108) which includes deep-fried honeybees, grasshoppers, and stick insects.


Southern Barbarian, 169 Jinxian Lu, near Maoming Nan Lu 进贤路169号,近茂名南路, +86 21 5157 5510, 11 a.m.-2 p.m.; 5 p.m.-10:30 p.m.


2. Chicken and duck blood soup (鸡鸭血汤)

Trust us; it tastes better than it looks.

Chicken or duck blood soup is a common dish -- or even a treat in the past -- to Shanghainese. The dish is considered by many as a shi liao food, or food used as medicine.

“We believe that certain food choices can help your body,” explains Fu Chun diner Xiao Lirong, a Shanghai resident. Chinese people believe that drinking chicken or duck blood soup can enrich the diner's blood.

“Usually this kind of soup has a weird blood taste but this one is very fresh with a clean flavor. The blood chunks are very tender,” adds Xiao, referring to Fu Chun's blood soup.

A bowl of hot and yummy chicken and duck blood soup (RMB 3) is said to complement Fu Chun's renowned xiaolongbaos perfectly.

3. Cow stomach lining (牛百叶)

Cow stomach lining is mostly flavorless, so the dish's taste depends on the sauce.

Cow stomach lining is a popular dish in China and it can be cooked in hot pot or fried by itself.
The chewy, rubbery stomach lining is hard to cook well, diner Xiao explains.

“It’s flavorless so its taste really depends on what spices you use,” she says.

“If it’s served as a cold dish, some people like it for its crunchiness.”

For fans of spicy food, try the cow stomach lining boiled in chili soup (水煮牛百叶, RMB 28) at Fu Chun.

4. Sea worms (海虫)
Shanghai's weirdest foods Haicheng-02
Chinese cook sea worms with leek and garlic.

“If you hit this worm, it quickly recoils,” says Jiang Tao, a worker at Shanghai's Tongchuan Seafood Market as he prods the creatures. “Watch how water shoots out of it.”

This sea worm is best pan-fried with leeks and garlic and comes at the bargain price of RMB 2 per jin (500 grams). This is a novelty food even for dauntless Chinese diners.

5. Snake (蛇肉)
Shanghai's weirdest foods Snake
Snakes can be fried, boiled or marinated in rice wine.

Although not a seafood, snake is available at Tongchuan Seafood Market, one of Shanghai's biggest wet markets. The staff there are definitely not afraid of reptiles.

“You just step on it and grab it,” says one worker named Shun. According to Shun, the snakes they sell are caught in Jiangxi Province in the mountains.

“You can cook it any way, but frying with salt and pepper is the best.”

The snake sells for RMB100-400 per jin (500 grams).

For hot pot fans, the Golden Dragon Snake on Wuxing Lu is most renowned for its snake dishes.

6. Pig's tail (猪尾巴)
Shanghai's weirdest foods Pigs-tail
Pig's tails are commonly seen in Shanghai's wet markets.

“If someone’s drinking beer, they might go through three of these tails in one sitting,” says Shanghai diner Liu Yuyan. “The tail is good for your skin.”

Pig's tail is considered Dongbei food, originating in China’s northeast. Find marinated-in-brine pig's tails in those stalls selling ready made dishes in most Shanghai wet markets.

For a sit-down meal, head to A Ying Bao for a bowl of pig's tails stewed with soy beans (RMB 46).


A Ying Bao (阿英堡), 239 Shanxi Nan Lu, near Tianjing Lu 山西南路239号, 近天津路, +86 21 6350 8719, 11 a.m.-9 p.m.

7. Duck’s head (鸭头)
Shanghai's weirdest foods Duck-head
Duck's heads and wings are two of locals' favorite nibbles to go with alcohol.

Jiu Jiu Ya is one of the very few duck-specialized brands in Shanghai.

Its red-colored duck's heads are stewed in a potent mix of 30 Chinese herbs and barley rice.

“It helps your own brain power,” says Jiu Jiu Ya staffer Qi Kouyang. “Pig brains are great, too.”


Jiu Jiu Ya (久久鸭), 160 Wanping Nan Lu, near Xingeng Lu 宛平南路160号, 近辛耕路, +86 21 6486 2430, 10 a.m.-10 p.m.
