"Boss, I don't know what this is called in your Huaxia, but this thing is called a big apple snail in our place, it doesn't taste good at all, it's very fishy, and we usually catch it and use it as bait. Daxter took a closer look and shrugged his shoulders, telling he didn't have a good impression of the thing.

Ye Luo didn't understand it very well, and he didn't know whether this Fushou snail could be eaten, so he had to take out his mobile phone and check it on the Internet.

After checking for a while, Ye Luo put away his phone, and he figured out that this thing is indeed called a big apple snail.

But he was not wrong just now, in China, especially in Baodao Bend, the name of the big apple snail is Fushou snail.

This kind of snail doesn't look big, but it's actually not very delicious, especially with Chinese cooking methods, snail meat is difficult to taste.

Don't look at the Fushou snail is simple to the touch, but it is difficult to eat, and the results that Ye Luo found on the Internet made him very depressed.

Because it is said on the Internet that this snail is easy to parasitize the eggs of parasites such as schistosomiasis and strongyloides because of its large size, and the eggs of some parasites are difficult to kill.

They are sterile in the body of the snail, and only after entering the human body or domestic animals will they become larvae and attack the host, even the Chinese people, who are a big foodie, rarely eat this thing.

Of course, there are many people who eat, and there are quite a few, mainly depending on the local customs.

Basically, they are either specially caught and chopped up to feed chickens, ducks and geese, or sold to feed factories.

Ye Luo had never eaten this kind of snail, if he hadn't seen more than a dozen small Fushou snails on the big bluestone, and let him face the field snails in the morning and twilight, he thought it would be good to catch some Fushou snails and go back to taste them.

It's just that since he found the snail, he naturally doesn't look down on the Fushou snail.

casually threw the Fushou snail in his hand to the Crescent Lake, and then caught all the snails attached to the stone, and said to Dast and the others: "Guys, come and take a look, don't want that one just now, we'll catch this later." ”

Dast and the others almost saw this kind of snail for the first time, and after looking at it for a while, the group went into the water with great interest to fish it up.

The size of Ye Luo's selection was above the size of his thumb, and Dast was also like that, and several people did it together, and soon touched a lot of them.

Touching the snail, Thomas suddenly slammed his fist into the water, splashing everywhere, and as a result, a largemouth perch more than half a meter old floated up on the belly of Baihuahua.

Ye Luo immediately laughed, he didn't expect that the purpose of himself and the others this time was mainly to touch the snail, and they were lucky to catch a fish by the way.

However, Thomas is also fierce enough to stun the fish in the water, and this is the first time Ye Luo has seen someone who can catch fish by brute force.

When he came, Ye Luo brought a plastic bucket basin from the warehouse that was specially filled with freshwater shrimp to feed the two little beluga whales.

It's just that even Ye Luo himself didn't expect to be able to touch so much, and now it's not good to waste, so he lifted the plastic bucket to the empty seat under the seat and put it away, anyway, Dast They have nothing to do, and they will brush the car every day.

After about sixty pounds, Ye Luo and his party stopped and drove back.

After arriving home, Dast lifted the bucket containing the snail from the car and said to Ye Luo: "Boss, if you like to eat snails, then we can go to the fishing ground to get some snails." ”

"Eluo?" Ye Luo asked rhetorically.

The conch is mainly found in the waters of Florida, Virginia and California, but it can also be caught in the waters of North Carolina and Alaska, and it can be found all over the west coast of the Atlantic Ocean, even in Hawaii.

Ye Luo had seen their shadows on the bottom of the sea before, but there were not many of them, and the gathering place was also

They are scattered, which may be related to the lack of food for them in previous fisheries.

The snail feeds on seaweed and microscopic organisms, generally inhabits shallow waters, and eats echinoderms.

Since before the leaf drop began to be cultivated artificially, there were few seaweeds and echinoderms in the shallow waters around it, and the breeding of snails has been a problem.

So, although Ye Luo knew that the fishery had this kind of conch, he had no idea of catching it.

Now that Daxter had brought it up again, it dawned on him, and he quickly used his consciousness to scan the place where he had found the conch before.

The results surprised him.

Seaweed is indeed the foundation of the fishing grounds, and with the abundance of algae, zooplankton multiplies in large numbers, which attracts more small fish to survive, and small fish attract big fish, and the biological chain begins to improve.

After the artificially planted seaweed grows for more than half a year, the number of snails has also increased a lot after they have food.

They are very fertile and can ovulate more than 2,000 grains into seawater at a time.

In particular, after their fertilized eggs enter the ocean, they will drift away with the seawater and eventually attach to algae or reefs to grow.

Although there are a lot of snails in the fishing ground now, Ye Luo obviously has no idea of going fishing with Daxter.

Because it is too troublesome to catch snails, trap boxes or trawls are generally used.

In the former, because the snail is slow, it takes several days to pull up the box.

The latter is usually caught as an incidental catch, but no one is specifically fishing for it.

Now that so many snails are enough to eat, and his goal has been achieved, there is no need to toss himself anymore.

Ye Luo divided the snails into two pots according to their size, intending to let them vomit the sediment.

In fact, Ye Luo knows three ways to effectively folk tradition.

The first is the long-standing method of cleaning snails, which is also a commonly used cleaning method among Chinese folks, and it is also a very interesting way to clean snails.

A common way to clean snails is to put them in clean water and add a few drops of oil to induce vomiting.

The second is also a long-standing method of cleaning snails, which is also a commonly used cleaning method in Chinese folk, and it is also a very interesting method of cleaning snails.

It is to put the snail in clean water, and then insert iron objects such as kitchen knives and spatulas into the snail pile.

It is important to emphasize here that you must use something made of iron, not stainless steel or stainless iron.

After a day, the next day you will find that the iron tools are crawling with snails, and a layer of dirt and other dirt has sunk into the basin of clear water, all of which have been spit out of the stomach.

If it happens to be the season for the snail to give birth, the mother snail will also give birth to many snail babies.

The third is to add a little salt to the water, which is completely a common method in the family, and is generally used for clams, clams and other shellfish.

Either way, in the end, the snails should be cleaned again and the above production steps should be repeated, so that the snails continue to spit out mud and lay down until the water in the pot becomes very clean, and the snails after this treatment are very, very clean.

Ye Luo was not sure if the third method was useful, so he gave up this treatment.

As for the second one, which took too long, he thought about eating it in the evening, rather than waiting until tomorrow.

Therefore, Ye Luo decisively chose the first one!

I saw that the leaves fell into the two pots, and at the same time poured water into them, they poured a little oil into them to speed up the vomiting of sediment.

Daxter saw Ye Luo pour oil and stopped, and asked curiously, "Boss, why are you pouring oil into it?"

"Pouring oil on them will make these snails spit out the mud in their stomachs faster. ”

Ye Luo shrugged and said, "If you ask me about the principle, then I can only say that I don't know." Anyway, we basically use this method in China. ”

Although the confusion on the faces of the Daxt and the others did not dissipate, they did not ask anything more.

The boss of his own family said that he didn't understand, so they naturally wouldn't deliberately embarrass him, as for whether this method was useful or not, they were somewhat skeptical in their hearts.

The vomiting of the snails took more than three hours, during which Ye Luo, Dast and others chatted in the yard, changing the water, a total of more than ten times before and after, Ye Luo took Dast and a few people to start cleaning up these snails.

He asked Thomas to wash the snails and cut off the tail with a vice.

The big snail is put aside first, and after it is boiled in hot water, the meat is removed with a toothpick and eaten as cold snail meat.

Stir-fried snails are not suitable for large snails.

The main thing is that the snail shell itself is thick, and if the snail meat is thick, the flavor of oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and condiments will not enter at all.

If you use small snails, they are basically snail cubs, and they can't be eaten because they have shells and no meat.

Therefore, Ye Luo specially picked the ones that are the size of the thumb belly, which are not big or small, and they belong to moderate snails.

While Thomas and the others were twisting the tail of the snail, Ye Luo began to boil the water, and then began to cut the accessories to be used.

There is strength in numbers.

After a while, Thomas and the others unscrewed off the tails of the fried snails, and the water in the leaves was boiled, and then he took the snails with the tails removed and pickled them directly with white wine, salt, vinegar, and soy sauce to taste them.

Next, pour all the large snails into boiling water and boil them to try to kill the parasite eggs that may be present.

Worried that the inside of the snail would not be easy to kill, Ye Luo cooked it for more than ten minutes before he fished out the snail, and then continued to let Thomas and them pick out the meat with a toothpick.

He's going to make fried snails.

Wash the pot, wait for the water in the pot to evaporate, Ye Luo first boils the olive oil to boiling, then pours in the chopped green onions, ginger, garlic and chili peppers to fry the fragrance, and then pours in the small snails and stir-fry wildly, and fry them with boiling oil for six or seven minutes to completely ensure the cleanliness of the snail meat.

Finally, start to put the condiments, pour in the white wine, and stir-fry.

Add soy sauce and stir-fry.

Add balsamic vinegar and stir-fry.

Add the sugar and stir-fry.

Add the oyster sauce and continue to stir-fry.

Add salt and stir-fry.

Add water and let it sit for a while while reducing the juice.

Before removing from the pot, add the chicken essence, stir evenly and put two large plates directly.

Suddenly, the aroma of stir-fried chili peppers and the mixed sauce with condiments added quickly spread throughout the courtyard.

Daxter, who picked the snail meat, stopped the movement in his hand, couldn't help but sniff, and said with some expectation: "Boss, the taste is not bad, but I don't know if the snail meat is delicious." ”

"How to make this dish, with so many condiments and so many procedures?" said Thomas, who also paused.

Ye Luo shrugged his shoulders and said with a little regret: "It's a pity that Newfoundland can only buy soy sauce, not light soy sauce and dark soy sauce, if there is light soy sauce and dark soy sauce, the taste should be better." ”

After making a good stir-fry of the snails, the leaves fell and cleaned the pot here, and Dast and others also picked out the snail meat.
