Vendors serve giant prawns, healthy options to mix up holiday barbecue menu
2026-09-02
Looking ahead to the Mid-Autumn Festival, one Changhua seafood vendor is selling enormous Thai tiger prawns weighing as much as 600 grams each, in addition to giant hand-sized Japanese oysters and other speciality ingredients. Not only that, but the Changhua District Fishermens’ Association added eel to its barbecue set for the first time, looking to offer its customers a lavish holiday spread.
As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, many people are looking forward to gathering around the grill with their loved ones. To spruce up the menu, a seafood vendor in Changhua is offering enormous Thai tiger prawns and Japanese oysters bigger than your hand.
Looking at this Thai prawn next to a standard shrimp, the difference is obvious—one prawn alone is easily bigger than a person’s hand.

To get 600 grams of standard shrimp, you usually need 12 to 15 of them. But for these palm-sized prawns, just one alone is 600 grams.
Also larger-than-life are these oysters, sizzling enticingly on the grill with a mouthwatering burst of ocean flavor in each bite. Considering the health-conscious consumer, the vendor is also offering sous-vide chicken breasts to give a guilt-free grilling option.

For more health-focused consumers, this year we’re also selling some other barbecue options. For example, this sous-vide chicken breast is high in protein without having excessive seasoning.
The Changhua District Fishers’ Association has also stepped in to capture holiday sales with its surf-and-turf barbecue set. In addition to squid skewers, white shrimp, and roe sausages, eel skewers have been included for the first time.

Loving the eel
The eel is softer than the ones you get at typical banquet restaurants. It’s not too tough, and it seems a lot less bony.
The tender eel pleasantly surprised many shoppers. Seeing strong market demand and lower eel prices this year, the association decided to add the option to its barbecue set to expand its market reach.

Fishers’ association director
The set has eight items, including thick cuts of pork belly and milkfish. The entire box has a market value of NT$1,700, but we’re selling it for a special discounted price of NT$1,500.
Vendors are pulling out all the stops to offer unique barbecue options this year, hoping that their consumers can all enjoy a satisfying feast this Mid-Autumn Festival.
