Raw-pickled portunid crab and yellow croaker soup with pickled vegetables are the two signature Ningbo dishes on offer at the food festival. During the festival, diners can taste the "bone-penetrating freshness" of Ningbo-style crab paste, tofu-skin-wrapped fish rolls, traditional fried eel paste and the hair tails caught from Donghai Sea, not to mention the famous Ningbo tangyuan — glutinous rice balls stuffed with nuts and lard.
