Chinese vendor cooks grilled squid on the beach in Weihai, Shandong, China. I love Chinese street food, but this is Chinese BEACH food! Feel the sand under your feet and the salty sea breeze in your hair as you enjoy this short video about cooking and eating squid on a stick.

Since I still had a couple weeks until the school term begins, I traveled to Weihai, a couple of hours north of Qingdao by bus. My girlfriend’s family has a seaside home here, and they were kind enough to let us stay here for a week. That means I had plenty of time to enjoy beachside grilled squid on a stick after taking a dip in the Yellow Sea.

Every day the vendors arrived at four o’clock in the afternoon, and to many beach-goers, they had grown to become expected. The whole operation was run by one guy and his dad. They set up a tent, a few low tables and chairs, and fired up the grill. Next, dozens of people poured in from the beach to enjoy savory, chewy squid.

The squid’s texture could best be described as chewy, but the tentacles brought a nice crunchiness. This isn’t the first time I’ve tried squid on a stick. Street food stalls all over China, not just by the sea, sell this tasty treat, and it always seems to have that same spicy seasoning that all vendors in Shandong use.
