The ocean is a complex ecosystem that has given rise to countless cuisines, most of which we have heard of, but there are also some strange and strange-looking seafood.

The first time you look at it.

I can't help but associate it with those unpalatable foods, and even stomach acid, nausea and vomiting, gooseneck barnacles are such existences.

And it is difficult to pick, this kind of marine life, only appears in the intertidal zone with a relatively high drop, strong waves, and strong winds.

This kind of place is always dangerous, and even fishermen who often catch the sea do not particularly like this kind of place.

I remember that the BBC has filmed a film called "The Gluttonous Feast of Billionaires", which introduces this kind of seafood, and also deliberately filmed some video clips of shellfish pickers risking their lives to pick gooseneck barnacles, and said that every year, shellfish pickers pay for gooseneck barnacles.

In Western countries, top-quality gooseneck barnacles can be sold for about 300 to 500 euros, (about 4,000 yuan) a catty. At a seafood auction in Spain in 2017, the unit price of gooseneck barnacles was sold at a high price of 1,200 euros (about 9,400 yuan) a catty.

Anyway, it's very expensive.

However, this product is the same as black gold abalone and Australian lobster, the origin is not in China, even if he has resources, it is not so easy to get rid of, and picking this product is indeed very dangerous, Chen Yang decided not to take this risk, because of the reef he just stood on.

It's not safe anymore.

Most of it was submerged in the sea.

The waves more than two meters high slapped on the reef, splashing four or five meters of waves, and he was three meters away, all of which were watered to the heart, in the face of such an environment, Chen Yang always had more ideas, and he didn't dare to stay too long, and after picking two catties of barnacles, he quickly evacuated this reef area.

Hee-he

Scrub scrub.

Rub, rub!

This is the devil's minions.

After Chen Yang cleaned the attachments on the gooseneck barnacles, he took them back to his shelter, I don't know why, looking at these extremely ugly seafood, Chen Yang couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

I can't wait to eat it raw.

This product can indeed be eaten raw.

It seems that the islanders of District 11 like to eat it raw.

However, Chen Yang gave up this way of eating for the time being.

On the isolated island, Chen Yang felt that he had to keep his mouth shut, try not to fight on food, this thing was better to cook and eat, otherwise it was not good, he was not a Bei Ye Deye, he had a strong stomach, and a whole medical team on standby.

Gooseneck barnacles, Chen Yang really hasn't eaten them.

But its good brother, Turtle Foot, Chen Yang has eaten a lot.

Chen Yang didn't know how Westerners cook, but he felt that the methods of similar things should not be very different, so he used the traditional coastal method and boiled directly with seawater.

This practice was learned from Lao Chen.

When he was in elementary school.

At that time, Lao Chen was still very young, but the people on the beach were relatively tanned, and it was difficult to associate with Shuai.

At that time, turtle feet were still a little-known delicacy, except for the fishermen in their area, almost no people in the mainland knew about it, and they never even came out, and seafood buyers rarely bought this kind of seafood, and every time Lao Chen would pick a big basin.

Then scoop a bucket of clean seawater.

Place in a large iron pot and heat until boiling.

Sprinkle some spices like bay leaves and pour all the turtle feet into it, in fact, boiling for two minutes tastes the most tender, but at that time, Lao Chen often lied to him that children must cook for fifteen minutes to eat this thing, otherwise they will be caught by the big turtle.

As a result, the giant turtle has always been the shadow of Chen Yang's childhood.

Every time he is close to the beach.

will produce a kind of fear.

When he grew up, Chen Yang understood why many children living by the sea could not swim and were more afraid of sea water than mainlanders.

I remember when I was a child, many fishermen went out to sea and never came back, and when the sea gave fishermen gifts, they would occasionally play a little temper.

At that time, Lao Chen should have been worried that his resistance was not high, and he was afraid that he would eat too raw seafood and spoil his stomach.

After Chen Yang boiled the seawater, he put all the gooseneck barnacles into the pot, and Chen Yang, who had been deceived for many years, didn't know why, he boiled this kind of thing after that.

It will never be boiled for too long, sometimes it will be scooped up in two minutes, sometimes it will be scooped up in less than a minute, this time Chen Yang scooped up the gooseneck barnacles after cooking for two minutes.

The hard black shell was quickly peeled off.

A piece of white tender snail meat is exposed, this is the place to eat, and it is also the essence of the gooseneck barnacle, a gooseneck barnacle weighing 50 grams may only have 5 grams of meat when broken.

After breaking the barnacles.

Chen Yang cut some chopped green onions, coriander, minced garlic and red pepper with a knife, poured light soy sauce and aged vinegar, stirred well, and used as a seasoning.

Of course, it tastes great when eaten raw.

However, Chen Yang likes to eat like this.

The white and tender barnacle meat, dipped in sweet and sour, a little spicy seasoning, put it in the mouth, the sweetness and freshness of the barnacle meat, coupled with the sweetness and sourness of the dipping sauce, the taste buds seem to bloom, directly stimulate the cranial nerves, and release a delicious signal.

Chen Yang finished eating one.

He couldn't help but take one down, just like he ate fried snails, he had a hard time explaining the taste, like a mixture of yellow clams and lobsters, chewy and a bit similar to razor clams, plus this dipping sauce, in short, how ugly this thing is, how delicious it is.

Chen Yang's hands and mouth couldn't stop at all.

Fifteen minutes in less than a minute.

The two-pound gooseneck barnacles were wiped out.

Chen Yang, who was still unsatisfied, felt that he should be able to come back for another three catties, but when he looked at the reef area again, the sea water had completely submerged there, and it was already time for the high tide.

Chen Yang looked at his mobile phone, it was 21:45 Beijing time, he had been on the island for almost eight hours, and there were still two hours and seventeen minutes before the time to return.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone straight through, warm.

Chen Yang sat on the edge of the cliff, holding a dog's tail grass in his mouth, looking at the beach dyed red by the sunset, at this time, the sea breeze had gradually cooled, and the seabirds that went out had also returned to their nests, chirping at the top of the jungle, very noisy.

Chen Yang looked at the rising water.

I suddenly remembered that I was going to accompany my second child to the seaside fishing village tomorrow.

And the ground cage and fishing cage have not been confiscated, the tide has risen quickly, if you forget, the next day over, it will be another tragedy, while the sky is still OK, Chen Yang put away the ground cage and fishing cage.

Even if you give these seafood a day off.

Give yourself a day off, too.
