牡蛎是什么 · 海里的滤食动物

Oysters are bivalve mollusks that spend most of their lives filtering seawater: drawing in plankton and debris, then expelling clear water. That filter-feeding habit drives two of its most important traits: it concentrates minerals from the sea (especially zinc), and it can also concentrate viruses and bacteria from the water.

Names vary across China: shenghao in Cantonese, hailizi in the north, dried form is haochi. The Pacific (cupped) oyster dominates world production and China is the largest producer, so it is one of the most affordable high-zinc foods around.

Eaten raw (with lemon or vinegar) in French and Japanese style, or grilled, steamed, baked with garlic vermicelli, or fried with egg. Species differ in flavor but share the same nutritional structure; later scenes use per-100 g edible portion.
