濃郁鄉土味的 塭仔漁港

At first glance this fishing port, adjacent to a No. 61 West Coast Expressway interchange, is a standard, no-frills destination for local fishermen to unload their catch as boats come and go. However, it is also home to a number of vendors selling fresh seafood on weekday afternoons and weekends, when even bigger crowds turn up. As visitors enjoy these offerings, they can luxuriate in the strong salt-laced sea winds sweeping over surrounding farm fields.
On weekends, vendor options swell to include not only seafood, but also grilled corn and grilled squid, deep-fried items, and local farm produce such as onions, eggplants and other vegetables. Regulars like to cluster around vendors offering sizable mud crabs, live lobsters, tiger prawns, mullet, clams, oysters and beltfish, with some seafood baskets going for only NT$100-200. Cooking services can be provided by vendors for about the same price range, allowing customers to savor these fresh-caught ingredients immediately.
The open-air dining areas include karaoke for entertainment and, afterwards, visitors may walk to the nearby tetrapods to enjoy the breezes and panoramic sunset seascapes, framed by wind-power turbines.

彰化縣線西鄉漁港路,西濱快速道路(台61線),下交流道即抵彰化線西塭仔漁港。塭仔港是當地漁民上下漁貨停泊船隻的小港灣,漁船依潮汐漲退進出海,非常有在地純樸的風味。台61西濱快速道路橋面下,平日零星幾攤魚販,每到下午就有販售剛補撈回來的漁貨,假日比平日熱鬧許多。除此之外,只有帶著鹹味強勁的海風吹過玉米田拂出撩人波浪。 每逢假日,攤販湧進,除擺滿新鮮魚貨外,還賣烤玉米、烤魷魚、各式炸物,鄰近農家栽種的洋蔥、茄子、農作物往地上一擺,小市集吸引著熟門熟路的來客。沿路有叫賣碩大的沙公沙母、活龍蝦、野生草蝦、烏仔魚、白帶魚…或是秤斤論兩、或是整簍100、200元,蛤、生蠔、貝類等。現場也有代客料理的攤販或餐廳、代客料理費約100~200元,把剛買的海鮮立刻烹調享受。露天用餐攤販還有附帶卡啦OK,邊吃邊唱。濃烈台灣鄉土的在地風情。飯後還可到附近的肉粽角看風力發電的大風車,寬闊的海面映著夕陽餘光,海天一色,心也跟著淨空!
