Chapter 229: Opportunists
Brother Catch the Sea is also worthy of being the real Big Brother of the Sea, and he still knows a lot about how to kill tuna.
At the same time, Chen Fan untied the tuna, and then interacted with the audience in the live broadcast room:
"Guys, do you know why I know it's a yellowfin tuna?"
"Brother Da Fei: It's not simple, look at the fins on the back, are we really from the village?"
"Bayuquan Ren: That's it, this kind of fish, which is basically used in the Japanese restaurants we usually eat, is not a rare species. ”
"167 of 1: Master, can you tell me about this kind of fish? It's the first time I've seen it, and it's so big. ”
"I'm an academic emperor: I know, I'll talk about it!"
Chen Fan looked at a group of people there to ask about the origin of the tuna, and it happened that the academic emperor was there, so he gave him the opportunity.
"Well, then let the academic emperor talk about it first, he didn't finish speaking, I'm making additions. ”
Chen Fan searched for the knowledge about tuna in his mind while swinging an axe in his hand.
"I am an academic emperor: first of all, the tuna picked up by Fan Ye today belongs to one of the most common and most distributed tuna species in China. Yellowfin tuna is found in all seas except the Mediterranean.
This fish is a high-yielding fish in warm water of the ocean, rich in nutrients, delicate flesh and few spines, and has always been the main economic fish that preys on in the world, because it is the first in production.
The one that Fan Ye picked up seems to be less than half a meter, at most dozens of catties, and the largest adult fish can reach three meters in length and weigh an astonishing 200 kilograms. ”
"Damn, it's so big, Fan Ye's marching pot can't fit it. ”
Chen Fan smiled, and then added: "Two hundred kilograms is still less, that belongs to the big fish that is older, more than ten years, generally seen, most of them are about 100 kilograms, the body length is more than one meter to two meters, and it is spindle-shaped." ”
"I'm an academic emperor: yes, I read the information that tuna is opportunistic, and generally the big fish swim in groups with other fish, like porpoises, or behind fishing boats, and bonito.
It mainly preys on a wide variety of fish, but also crustaceans and squid such as squid, cuttlefish, octopus, lobster and sea crab. The fish consumed includes sardines, anchovies, mackerel, and even other tuna.
But I've heard that you don't see tuna in the offshore reef area, and they're afraid of being hit by the current and causing their own damage, right? ”
"Yes, to date, neither scientific studies nor the news have found adult tuna in the reef area, which is related to its preference for warm pelagic currents and size.
Of course, when it comes to this fish, we can't help but talk about how it eats, the general tuna, the world catches as many as 2.3 million tons every year, nearly seventy percent is made into sashimi, into the mouths of Asians, especially island people. ”
"Yes, when I traveled to their country before, I had a good meal in Kansai, but I don't know if it's like this?"
"I heard that among the islanders who like to eat the most, they eat three kinds of bluefin tuna alone, Pacific bluefin tuna, Atlantic bluefin tuna and southern bluefin tuna. ”
Chen Fan praised the barrage talent repeatedly, which he didn't even master.
Following, Brother Ganhai also added: "The other 5 kinds of tuna are yellowfin tuna, bigeye tuna, albacore tuna, long-loin tuna, and blackfin tuna.
If you have the opportunity to eat tuna in the island country, there are more chances of eating yellowfin tuna in the Kansai region;
In the Kanto region, there are many opportunities to eat bigeye tuna;
In the Kyushu and San'in regions, there are many opportunities to eat long-loin tuna;
At any sushi restaurant, there are many chances to eat albacore tuna.
Of course, no matter where you are, it's normal not to eat blackfin tuna and bluefin tuna. ”
"Yo, why is that?"
"Yes, why, are there so few of these two kinds of tuna?"
Chen Fan smiled, at this moment, he had already split the tuna into two, and the red texture of the fish came out.
"That's right, blackfin tuna and bluefin tuna are still less common species. Bluefin tuna, in particular, is now strictly forbidden to be caught and sold worldwide.
As for the blackfin tuna, due to the limited area where it grows, it has been a rare species since it was discovered. ”
Looking at the untied fish, Chen Fan followed the fish method given by Brother Hai, and he obviously wanted to eat sashimi for this meal tonight.
This forced him to remove the skin and fins around the edges, as well as the bones in them.
Along the lines of Shun, Chen Fan slowly drew with a jungler dagger, and soon the pliable fish skin was removed.
At this time, Brother Kaihai came up with an idea again:
"Fan Ye, don't throw the fish skin and bone thorns or something, the bones can be boiled in soup and drunk, if the fish skin, blanch it in boiling water, and then find some seaweed, jellyfish skin, eat it cold, find some oyster sauce, don't mention the taste." ”
"Okay, I'll try it, I've eaten cold jellyfish skin, this fish skin, how to eat cold salad, but I heard you say it for the first time. ”
"Try it, it's delicious. ”
Chen Fan looked like he was convinced, and then started eating the first sashimi.
I just don't feel like it's tasteful, because there's no condiment!
But Chen Fan may be tired at the moment, and it is the first time to eat such fresh sashimi, and he thinks it is particularly delicious.
Then, he couldn't wait to find the sea salt that he had collected before, a piece of sashimi, dipped in a little sea salt, and it tasted delicious.
After eating half a catty in a row, Chen Fan burped and said:
"I seem to remember that in fact, in the island country, in the early days, tuna was not popular, which is a bit unlucky in the accent name of the island people.
So at that time, tuna was also ridiculously cheap, so to speak, a copper plate thrown out, you can buy a bunch of back, it is some low-level untouchable food.
At the same time, this fish is also perishable, perishable, and produces an unpleasant taste.
It wasn't until after the Meiji Restoration, when the government lifted the ban on food, that the population exploded, and the use of modern ice-making technology in marine fisheries, gradually became a daily food for the people of the islands. ”
As soon as Chen Fan finished speaking, the barrage army in the live broadcast room began to boil again.
"I think about it, not only tuna, but also our delicious hairy crabs, which are also eaten by the people at the bottom. ”
"I have seen a set of old photos, saying that 70 years ago, when there was a food crisis in Jiangnan, people who couldn't eat had to catch hairy crabs to eat. ”
