With its grand façade, “Hai Zhong Bao Food Company” rises from the countryside, its splendor underscoring its stature in the mullet-roe industry. Ms. Lin Jing-wen, renowned for over three decades of processing expertise and unwavering commitment to traditional handcraft, earned the company’s “Traditional Mullet Roe” a spot among Yunlin County’s 2007 Best Souvenirs. Every finished roe requires more than fifty meticulous hand steps, making it a precious delicacy. Because most stages take place in the morning, visitors wishing to observe the full process should book in advance; the facility also serves as an outdoor-education site for local elementary and middle schools. Besides touring the production line, guests can experience the house-created “Flame Dance—Mullet Roe”: roe kissed by 58-proof Kinmen sorghum liquor, yielding silky slices of rich aroma. Pair them with white radish, garlic, apple, or pear for contrasting flavors. Exquisitely boxed, the roe makes the perfect holiday gift. “Excessive drinking is hazardous to health.”
