野生淡菜正肥美，採挖時需要潮水夠低以及風平浪靜兩大條件。（圖�文：林冰芳）
【記者林冰芳�東莒報導】野生淡菜飽滿肥嫩，現在採挖正是時候，可惜這天然海鮮美味得要潮水夠低、海象平穩才能出手，算一算一整個夏天能採挖的天數實在不多，難怪幾十斤淡菜在數分鐘內搶購一空。
夏天潮間帶的螺貝類是最肥美的時候，每逢大潮水潮間帶總是有喜歡海味的鄉親去尋寶，比起其他螺貝類，淡菜的採挖就需要專業級技巧，主要是因為淡菜生長的環境在較深海域，以東莒來說北面的大、小嶼是採挖的首選，民眾形容，這個時候的淡菜肉肥到要爆殼了！看到這飽滿的淡菜肉，就不難理解這誇張的形容。
淡菜達人陳水梅說，採淡菜除了潮水要夠低，另外最重要的是還要風平浪靜，在採挖淡菜時，身體有一半必須浸泡在水中，如果海象不佳危險度也加倍。這兩樣完全不能控制的天候因素，讓夏季採挖淡菜的日子變得稀少珍貴。
這野生的天然美食首批上市只有幾十斤，數分鐘內被老饕們搶購一空，下回品嚐的時機在什麼時候？就要看老天爺賞不賞臉了！
Want Some Summer Relish from Devouring Plump Mussels? You May Need to Seize the Precious Time to Catch these Delicious Plums!
Report by Bing-Fang Lin in Dongju of Juguang Township, Lienchiang. Translated by Caleby L.
Hooray! Seafood diggers, it’s mussels heyday!
That’s right, it’s the perfect time for you to gobble and gorge gems of the sea in a year. July and August are considered the prime season to enjoy fleshy mussel dishes; however, may you just lie back and enjoy plenty available of them? A fat chance! Old pros and experienced fishermen say mussels can only be dredged during ebb and while the state of sea is fairly serene. So days that is suitable for dredging mussels are only a few, no wonder dozens catties of mussels sold out in a minute or a few.
Finding and dredging mussels required more professional skills or tactful techniques compare to other kinds of shellfishes and mollusks, mainly because mussels inhabit in deeper ocean. Take Dongju for example, north to Da Yu (“big islet”) and Xiao Yu (“small islet”) will be the best locations for a bumper harvest.
Local pickers exclaimed that mussels they found or ate were “almost blowing up its shells!”
Mussel picking pro Shui-Mei Chen said, to collect mussels needs not just to wait till an ebb time, but a calm and tranquil state of the sea is necessary. Because half of your body would immersed in water while picking, it will increase risks if the sea is unstable.
The first batch of mussels were merely a few dozen catties, and they, predictably, sold out in a few minutes like that was a flash sale rush. So, when is your next great opportunity to grab a handful gem? Look upon God’s will!
