Wenzhou cuisine is one of the eight great culinary traditions of Zhejiang, known for its emphasis on seafood, light seasonings, and a preference for steaming and braising over heavy sauce. The city's wealth has produced a food scene well above average for its size, with good seafood restaurants along the waterfront and in Dongtou, and the characteristic Wenzhou snacks — fish balls (鱼丸), rice noodle soup, and oyster cakes (蛎饼) — sold at street stalls throughout the day.
