212. Real seafood
Chen Song picks mussels and oysters, and Rhine picks up conch.
The coastline of southern Iceland is home to a species of single-shell conch, a bit like an abalone, called the flat-footed conch, which has a partially degraded shell and a very well-developed skirt foot, so it is delicious, firm and chewy.
Rhine was looking for this kind of conch, he took Brother Dao to look for it, Brother Dao and the bench dogs helped, and used their limbs to dig up the mud and sand, and when they found the flat-footed conch, they picked it up and sent it to Rhine.
After a while, Chen Song heard Brother Dao's call, he walked over to take a look, and saw Brother Dao calling at some strange species on a reef.
This little thing has a crystal shell, the shell is translucent, and there are red, yellow, brown and black markings on it, and the lines radiate around from the center of the shell, similar to half a watermelon.
After seeing Chen Song coming, Brother Dao leaned over to the little thing and pressed it with his paws, and suddenly, the little thing squirted out a stream of water.
Seeing this, Chen Song became interested, what is this? A poke and a spray of water, it is quite sensitive, it would be better if he looked clear.
The colorful colors on the shells of the little things made him a little jealous, and he called Bruce over and asked, "What is this?"
Bruce said, "Oh, a sea anemone, you know the anemone, right?"
Chen Song was surprised: "Of course I know the sea anemone, the home of Nemo, the clownfish in Finding Nemo, is the sea anemone, but doesn't the sea anemone have many tentacles? And isn't it soft? How can it have a hard shell?"
Bruce explained: "It's not a hard shell, it just looks a little hard, you wait. ”
He took the bucket and filled it with some seawater and poured it onto the reef, and as the water gurgled down, the crystal shell stretched out, revealing tentacles.
The sofa was deeply curious, and immediately stretched out its paws to slap it, and the tentacles that had just emerged from the sea anemone immediately shrank again.
Brother Dao hurriedly turned around and pressed the head of the sofa with his paws, and warned it with his eyes: What's the matter, little brother?
The first time Chen Song saw the anemone, he took out his mobile phone to record it, and called the others over to watch it together.
Rhine was not interested, but Luo Bingxin was very interested: "Is this the anemone? Wow, that's great." ”
"Isn't it cute?"
"It's really cute, but I like it more, it can make spicy soup, I used to watch food shows to introduce it, and the sea anemone is very delicious to make spicy soup, come, let's collect them." ”
"It's easy to collect them, just pry them off with a knife," Bruce said. ”
Chen Song said silently: "Xiaoice, you are really a strange woman standing at the top of the food chain. ”
The harvest is abundant, mainly because there are too many seafood resources on Little Bruno Island, and no one comes to catch them every year except for being eaten by birds.
After all, the predation methods of seabirds are monotonous, and they are powerless against fish, shrimp and crabs hiding in the crevices of the reef and hiding under the beach.
In addition to picking up many shellfish, oysters, small crabs, small shrimp and small fish that were photographed by the sea, they also put up fishing rods on the yacht and caught more than a dozen large fish.
At noon, Rhine fished up the crab pot that he had put down before, and there were several crabs of all sizes in it, these were not pike crabs, let alone king crabs or the like, but a kind of square-shell crab that Chen Song had never seen.
They weren't too attached to the specific strain of the crab, and they could eat it anyway.
Originally, Chen Song wanted to use the yacht's kitchen to cook seafood, but what they caught was small seafood that was very well handled, and Bruce gave them the idea to get some firewood from the speedboat and go to the island to make a bonfire.
All they catch are small seafood, not much meat but more delicious, the method is simple, just boil it in water, and do not need any condiments.
Of course, the planned cucumber mixed jellyfish is gone, and fresh jellyfish are not suitable for consumption and need to be dehydrated. But it doesn't matter, they've gained enough.
Luo Bingxin boiled the mussels first, and she only used a little water, and the mussels would spit out water during the steaming process.
Whether it is mussels or scallops, they have been put into the bucket in advance and spit out the sediment, so it is very clean, after cooking, Chen Song tasted it, and the shellfish meat has no other feeling in the mouth, it is fresh!
After the mussels were fished out, the soup was divided by a small cup for each person.
Chen Song had never tasted anything so fresh, and this mussel soup was really amazing.
Eating mussels, they continued to cook oysters, and this harvest was abundant, large and small.
While the oysters were being cooked, Luo Bingxin patted his forehead and said, "I forgot, I also brought cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce and radishes to make a dish together?"
Chen Song shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's eat it raw." ”
Rhine cleaned up the belly of the sea fish he caught, and threw the fish intestines and fish bubbles and other things on the beach, and soon birds flew down and snatched them.
Bo Brother flapped his wings and called twice, startling the other seabirds that were about to fly.
Rhine took the fish intestines with a knife and handed it to it and asked, "Hey, Bogo, do you want to eat this?"
Brother Bo waved his wings and gave him a slap on the back of the head: What do you mean, young man?
The cleaned fish is put on the bonfire with a long bamboo skewer, and the small fish and shrimp caught can also be treated in this way, a bamboo skewer can be skewered with several small fish, and there is no fishy smell when grilled on the charcoal fire, and it is full of fish fragrance.
The oysters are quickly ripe, and a group of people gather to eat the oysters.
Bai Ge, who was the most active about eating, mixed in, but when he found out that it was eating oysters, he was not interested, shook his head and walked backwards: This is a stone, and it can't be eaten.
There is no doubt that these oysters taste very good, but when cooked, they have a fishy smell, and luckily they brought lemons, and a little lemon juice was added to them, and the fishy smell could be suppressed.
Wild oysters have a good taste, glutinous and soft after steaming, and several people rush to eat better appetites, and a pot of oysters does not have much meat, which they quickly eat.
Brother Bai couldn't help but be curious when he saw them eating so happily, and the gluttonous worm was hooked up again, and then he also came up to eat and taste.
At this time, the oysters have been eaten, and the rest are oyster shells, and he does not understand the reason that oysters want to eat meat, so he picks up an oyster shell and stuffs it into his mouth.
With a clatter, the oyster shell shattered, and it almost had a concussion.
A mouthful of broken stones, Brother Bai spit out angrily, swore never to eat this thing again, it got up and walked to the campfire, and guarded the grilled fish wholeheartedly.
Crabs, large and small, are thrown into a bonfire and roasted, and soon the shells are red.
The rest of the pot was useless, Luo Bingxin replaced it with a frying iron pot, poured some salt on it, and put the remaining flat-footed conch and other shellfish in it to make a salt-grilled small seafood.
Except for the grilled fish, which is slower, the rest are fast.
Chen Song tasted the salt-roasted flat-footed conch, this is delicious, the conch meat itself is extremely chewy, and the taste of salted roasting is even heavier, the more you chew, the more fragrant it is, but it can make him eat beautifully.
The last hard dish is grilled sea fish, Rhine smeared with a lot of oil, the skin of the fish is slightly charred and black after cooking, and after peeling off, there is yellow-white fish meat, which is called fat!
