Chapter 189: Whole Fish Feast (Medium)
Mina and the other women on the side wanted to help, but they were powerless.
Killing fish is also a thing that requires strength, and even Ye Luo and their big men are a little unbearable, not to mention that they don't even dare to kill small fish on weekdays, and now it is a joke to let them kill such a big fish.
Fortunately, these fish are dead, otherwise, if these fish are still alive, it will definitely be difficult to kill, and if you don't do it, you will have to eat a few fish tail slaps.
Seeing that the boss had done it himself, Renison and the three of them naturally wouldn't watch from the sidelines, and without saying a word, they joined Ye Luo and 'joined the same stream' with him.
The three of them are also experienced fishermen, and things like killing fish can be said to be commonplace.
Not to mention the fish that are more than one meter now, even if they are bigger than this, they have been killed, and their hands-on ability will naturally not lose much.
When the leaves were processed, they also let them cut the fish, some sliced, some cut into pieces, mainly for frying and grilling, and it was best to use these fish.
After the fish is cut, Ye Luo is soaked in ginger, green onions, garlic and cooking wine, and he has to marinate it for more than two hours to remove the fishy smell.
After soaking the fish, preparing the condiments, and marinating the other fish with a little salt.
Ye Luo took a little respite at this time, took the three of Renison to wash their hands, and after sitting down in the pavilion together, he smiled bitterly at the three of them: "Originally, I calculated the time, and when they came back from shopping, I would be able to do it immediately, but I didn't expect that I ignored that there are a few fish that need constant time to marinate and remove the fishy smell, and Dast They are now on the way back, if nothing else, it should be there soon." ”
"No, boss, I remember that the boiled fish we ate yesterday didn't smell fishy, and I didn't see you pickled it?" said Renison with a puzzled expression.
The corner of Ye Luo's mouth twitched: "There are many ways to boil fish, some need to be pickled, and some don't, because onions, ginger, garlic and chili peppers themselves have the effect of removing fish, so even if there is a fishy smell, it is easy to be covered by the smell of chili peppers, which is why you don't eat the fishy smell." ”
"Isn't it just fishy, it's not that we can't eat it, we didn't eat raw sea fish when we were young. ”
Renison pursed his lips, then asked curiously, "Could it be that these Asian carp smell stronger than the fishy smell of marine fish?"
"It's hard to say, the fishy smell of fish is because there is a substance called trimethylamine oxide in the body of fresh fish, and as the freshness of the fish decreases, the substance will be reduced to trimethylamine by enzymes. And the higher the content of trimethylamine, the stronger the fishy smell of the fish. ”
Ye Luo smiled: "Generally, freshwater fish contain less trimethylamine oxide than saltwater fish, so when its freshness is reduced, the fishy smell will not be as strong as that of saltwater fish." However, river fish have an earthy smell because they grow in water with a lot of humus. Such an environment is suitable for actinomycetes to multiply and grow, and bacteria invade the bloodstream through the gills and secrete a brown substance with an earthy smell that is difficult to remove during cooking. ”
After a pause, Ye Luo, who thought of something, continued: "Relatively speaking, the smell of freshwater fish may not be as heavy as that of sea fish, but when it is cooked, sea fish can be perfectly fishy in various ways, but freshwater fish cannot do this, even if it is handled well, it can still taste a trace of fishy smell." ”
"Marine fish is different, I know you must know that most of the marine fish have a strong fishy smell, but there are still a small number of marine fish that have no fishy smell, and this kind of fish is very popular with those who like to eat sashimi, and the price will gradually increase with the more people like it. ”
After speaking, Ye Luo stopped speaking, and took an apple on the table and ate it, not because he didn't want to, but because he didn't dare.
If it weren't for the fact that he happened to see a post about 'the difference between marine fish and freshwater fish' when he was surfing the Internet on his mobile phone some time ago, and wrote it down because of his strong memory, it is estimated that he would definitely be embarrassed at this time.
However, Renison, Robert, and Wiggins didn't know about it, so that all three of them had surprised expressions on their faces.
Although they have been catching fish for many years, if they were asked to name the types of marine fish they knew, they could easily name hundreds of species, but they did not know much about freshwater fish, except for the Asian carp that were considered a 'scourge', they did not know anything else.
As for the difference between the two, the sea fish is not difficult for them, while the freshwater fish can only be blinded.
The three of them didn't expect that this boss, who was usually not very clear about many things in the fishing ground, would be able to know these things that they didn't know, and they couldn't help but feel a trace of admiration in their hearts.
Subsequently, Ye Luo and the others chatted while eating fruit.
……
About half an hour later.
"Bell bell bell ......"
Renison's phone rang suddenly, and he saw Renison take out the phone and look at the caller ID and pick it up: "Hey, I'm Renison, are you?"
Dust's familiar voice came from the other end of the phone: "It's me, Dust, I'm already at the dock now, there are a lot of things, we can't take them back, you quickly call Robert and Wiggins to come over and help bring them back." ”
"Okay, man, let's get over here. Renison readily agreed.
After hanging up the phone, he said to Ye Luo, and called Robert and Wiggins to rush to the dock together.
Leaving Ye Luo to sit alone in the gazebo, quite lonely.
In fact, Ye Luo also planned to go with Renison and them, but he was refused, so he could only wait for them to come back in the gazebo.
Soon.
Daxter's group returned to the yard with large bags in their hands and hurriedly put their things on the ground.
Ye Luo looked at the large pile of things on the ground that looked like a 'hill', and said to Dast with some dumbfounded: "I said Daxter, you swept up the things given by other people's stores, right?"
"Boss, don't wronged me. ”
Dast hurriedly explained: "You told me these things, I didn't leave one behind, as for why it looks big, it's because of the relationship between a few barbecue grills and cauldrons, as long as you don't look at the barbecue grills and cauldrons, there are not many things, I asked Renison and the three of them to go over before, because I can't get these barbecue grills and cauldrons back alone, I can't call them." ”
Barbecue grills and cauldrons, which are available in almost every fisherman's home on Newfoundland, are essential for family gatherings.
After all, Ye Luo didn't know much about many local things when he first came to Newfoundland, so that he didn't have these 'necessities' to let Dast and them come to live on the island.
The return of Dast and the others suddenly made the courtyard not only more people, but also more lively.
Because there are a few fish pickled before the time has come, Ye Luo can only let everyone eat some fruit first and pad their stomachs first.
Naturally, Dast and the others will not object, after all, the boss boss has eaten fruit by example, can they still go against Ye Luo?
Ye Luo took out some of the remaining dried fruits such as pistachios, macadamia nuts, almonds, pecans, cashew nuts, hazelnuts, melon seeds and peanuts, as well as fresh fruits picked in the morning, and let everyone chat and eat snacks.
These dried fruits were originally bought by Ye Luo for Alice to eat, because he was troublesome, he bought a lot at one time, and in his opinion, so many snacks were enough for Alice to eat for a long time.
But what he didn't expect was that yesterday and today, Alice's snacks would be gone in just two days.
Luckily, Alice doesn't like to be a picky eater either, preferring them to dried fruits.
The hour quickly passed and another hour passed.
Ye Luo felt that the fish was almost marinated, so he was ready to start cooking, because there were too many dishes to cook today, and he would definitely not be able to eat lunch anyway, so he could simply eat it with dinner.
Ye Luo said to everyone and went to work.
Seeing Ye Luo busy on the stove, Dast and the others were a little embarrassed, but they had never made this kind of freshwater fish, so they couldn't help at all.
Mina and the others don't even know how to cook on weekdays, so naturally they don't volunteer to help, besides, in Ye Luo's eyes, it's better to make trouble than for them to help.
Only Scarlett, who has good cooking skills, chose to help Ye Luo, although she can't cook, but it's okay to give him a hand from time to time.
Dust's wife, Hanali, Robert's wife, Lissa, Wiggins' wife, Navemi, and several other wives make fruit salads, press juices, and prepare evening staples such as custard scones, French toast, and pancakes, which are typically Western foods.
There are two types of grilled fish, one is barbecue fish, which has been soaked with condiments in the afternoon, and the fish are skewered in the evening and grilled on the grill.
Daxter was in charge of tumbling the grilled fish, constantly brushing it with oil, then sprinkling it with paprika and cumin powder, and soon the aroma came out.
Another type of grilled fish is Sichuan-flavored grilled fish, which is first grilled in the oven until it is ripe, then taken out and put into the green onions spread on the bottom of the plate, and then put it in the broth made of cucumbers, fungus, mushrooms, bean sprouts, and chili sauce, and slowly stew on a charcoal fire, and then you can eat it after it is cooked.
Originally, Robert was going to be responsible, but Renison snatched it away, and he felt very helpless about it.
When Ye Luo was about to start showing his skills, Scarlett didn't expect Scarlett to provide another method, first put the prepared fish fillets into a baking tray topped with a layer of cream sauce, bake them for a while, and then take them out for later use.
Then heat the pot and pour in the olive oil, when the oil temperature starts to rise, add the shredded green onion and coriander and fry until brown, then pour into the fish fillet in the baking dish, add mushrooms, eggs, tomatoes, potato slices around the area, then pour the cream sauce, sprinkle with grated cheese, drizzle with hot butter, and bake in the oven until cooked.
"It's a Mediterranean-style grilled fish, which Turkey and Greece like to do, and I learned it from the restaurant where I used to work. Scarlett explained.
At this time, Scarlett, who was watching from the side, sniffed lightly, and praised with a satisfied face: "Ouch, it's good, it tastes great, it must be delicious." ”
