Chapter 46 The Tuition of Tuna
Of all the tuna, Xiao Peng only ate the cheapest bonito. In terms of economic value, the highest is bluefin tuna, followed by bigeye tuna, yellowfin tuna, albacore tuna, and bonitoγγγγγγ Bonito is undoubtedly the lowest.
The tuna is also divided into two lineups, the bluefin lineup and the yellowfin lineup. The bluefin lineup includes Pacific bluefin tuna, Atlantic bluefin tuna, southern bluefin tuna, bigeye tuna, albacore. The yellowfin lineup includes yellowfin tuna, long-loin tuna and blackfin tuna. The bluefin lineup is more expensive, and the reason why albacore tuna is not as economically valuable as yellowfin tuna is not because of his taste, but purely because it belongs to small tuna, the longest is only one meter long and weighs dozens of catties.
It's like a yellowfin tuna, Xiao Peng caught this one more than two meters long and more than 300 catties.
Ye Yuli walked into the kitchen and brought out two large plates, a plate of sushi and a plate of sashimi. The pink color makes people very appetizing when they look at it, Xiao Peng picked up a sushi and tasted it, it was very refreshing.
"This is the 'big fat' of frost, which can be said to be one of the most delicious and expensive places on tuna. Ye Yuli introduced.
"'Big Fat'? How can you eat a fish and eat the twenty-four solar terms?" Xiao Peng was puzzled.
Ye Yuli covered her mouth and chuckled: "The price of different parts of the tuna is different, and even the price of the meat on the left half and the right half of the body is also different." Generally, tuna is cut into four pieces along the backbone of the fish bones, two back and two belly, all at different prices. β
"The prices are different on the left and right?" Xiao Peng asked.
"Yes, because the tuna is transported on one side down, the weight of the fish will squeeze the body on the downward side, and the meat is easy to break. So, the price is high on the upward side and low on the downward side. β
"And belly meat, because of the rich fat, is much more expensive than back meat. Similarly, the price of belly meat varies depending on the location, and the most expensive part of the belly meat is the belly near the softest fish belly, which is called 'big fat'. The 'big fat' in the front and middle of the fish belly is called the frost 'big fat', and the 'big fat' at the bottom of the fish belly is called the snake belly. Because there are obvious muscles in the 'big fat' of the snake's belly, the price is lower than that of the 'big fat' of frost. β
Xiao Peng listened one by one: "This is eating fish? It's too troublesome, right?"
Ye Yuli smiled: "So when you go to a Japanese restaurant, you will always choose salmon, followed by tuna, and the knowledge in tuna is too deep." β
Xiao Peng nodded: "Then why is bluefin tuna bigeye tuna so much more expensive than yellowfin tuna?"
"Fat content. Bluefin tuna can have a fat content of up to 15%, bigeye tuna up to 8%, and yellowfin tuna only 2%. In the world of tuna, fat is king. The price of yellowfin tuna and bluefin tuna is only one percent of the latter, and the gap is very large! Unfortunately, this is only yellowfin tuna, if it is bluefin tuna, it is called delicious in the world. β
"I see. Xiao Peng suddenly realized, and was about to taste the tuna shredded meat again, but when he lowered his head, he only saw two empty plates.
Looking at Fang Ranran and Yang Meng again, their cheeks were full. "Hey, you two really won't leave us behind?"
Fang Ranran smiled: "Seeing that you are chatting happily, I thought you didn't want to eat, so I will help you solve it." Refuse to be extravagant? β
Yang Meng didn't know what to say. Ye Yuli smiled slightly, walked back to the kitchen, and brought out two plates of sushi and sashimi: "Also, with our way of eating, it's good to be able to eat this fish in half a month." β
Ye Yuli also took out a plate with two plates of barbecue on it: "What is this? Roast rabbit legs?"
"Salt-grilled tuna chin. Although the muscles are tough, they have a strong umami flavor and are delicious. β
"Can you eat it under your chin?" Xiao Peng scratched his head, how much this Japanese people save on ingredients.
"In fact, the most commonly eaten part of the common people is called Zhongluo, which is the minced meat near the fish bones. That's a lot more fair price. It is suitable for ordinary people to satisfy their cravings. β
Xiao Peng was helpless: "I don't think this tuna is so delicious, is it so crazy?"
"For the Japanese people, as for the Japanese!" Ye Yuli nodded and said, "How do you taste this plate of sashimi?"
Xiao Peng looked at the sashimi that came out behind Ye Yuli, which looked a little darker and looked more rigid. It tastes a little more fishy than 'Big Fat', but it stimulates people's appetite more.
Ye Yuli continued: "This is the meat behind the gills of the fish. Because it is small, it is the most expensive position on the tuna. It's slightly more expensive than 'Big Fat'. β
"Well, I'm starting to admire the Japanese people, they really try their best to eat fish. Xiao Peng pouted.
"Yellowfin tuna is okay, after all, the yield is higher and the fat is lower, and bluefin tuna can make the Japanese people really crazy. In 2013, a 222-kilogram bluefin tuna was sold for $1.8 million at the U.S. Tuna auction market. More than 100 kilograms of bluefin tuna, even if it is not auctioned, can be sold for millions of Chinese coins casually. β
Xiao Peng was shocked, what kind of fish is this, it's really faster than robbing a bank. No, you have to get some bluefin tuna in the fishing grounds!
Yellowfin tuna is there, but is bluefin tuna still far away?
Fang Ranran played on the island for a few days and then went to school. She had a good time on the island and shot a lot of videos. I was in such a hurry to go back to school just to run in front of my classmates to show off.
Fang Ranran left Qianliyan, and the island was much calmer. Xiao Peng is also a lot more relaxed, otherwise Fang Ranran will be pestered every day, the little girl is definitely full of vitality!
And Yang Meng, a guy with muscles in his brain, after going to the fishing ground every day to put in the feed, he is practicing five poultry plays, and I don't know when he repaired the fitness equipment on the beach, and practiced hard at the beach every day.
It seems that losing to Xiao Peng really hit him hard.
Xiao Peng also understands him. The two have known each other for so many years, Yang Meng has been protecting Xiao Peng, and suddenly found that Xiao Peng was stronger than himself, which was a big blow to Yang Meng.
Feeling that what he has done for so many years is useless? It is not comfortable to be anyone, Xiao Peng feels a little apologetic.
Xiao Peng also often secretly injects magic power into him. Now Yang Meng's physical fitness is very different from before.
Ye Yuli is the housekeeper on the island, and everything on the island is taken care of by her very organized.
In comparison, Xiao Peng is an idler.
Except for a whim, he took out the golden silk nanmu in the warehouse and carved a tea table, and there was nothing to do every day.
The teapot found in the submarine has now become Xiao Peng's favorite, and every day Xiao Peng lies in the hot spring with the teapot in his hand and smokes a pipe, as comfortable as he wants.
In fact, Xiao Peng is not to blame, Xiao Peng seems to do nothing every day, in fact, he is observing the situation of the submarine fishing ground at any time.
The development of the fishery is very rapid. The released giant algae has now grown to more than 10 meters long. This attracts a large number of marine life to live here.
What made Xiao Peng even happier was that the bigeye tuna and yellowfin tuna that had been driven by the dog's eggs had settled in the fishing grounds.
That's good news. You know, tuna is a cruising fish, cruising around the world with food, so far, only a very small number of people have the means to do tuna artificial farming.
The Japanese people have been committed to tuna farming technology for decades, and today, it can be regarded as a success, and they are divided into three methods: short-term storage, farming, and complete farming.
Short-term storage is a way to let the tuna grow rapidly after a few months of raising dozens of catties of small tuna.
As for farming, it is to raise the newborn wild tuna fry in captivity for two or three years before selling.
Complete culture is the whole process from hatching eggs to culture. All by hand. This method differs from the first two in that he no longer grows wild tuna fry. It is of great significance for the conservation of wild bluefin tuna resources.
Of course, there are big problems with all three types of farming. That is, the size of the farmed tuna is on the small side. Because tuna needs to maintain a state of high speed to ensure that enough oxygen flows through the gills, otherwise it will suffocate to death. So tuna needs a lot of food and living space. Farmed tuna are limited by these two items, so they are on the small side. The same bluefin tuna fry can grow up to three meters long in the wild, and one and a half meters in captivity.
And this also requires God's blessing, bless them in these three years, no accidents, so that they can live for three years.
There is a huge risk in this, and it is definitely a money-burning project. Not to mention that there is no return for a few years, if there is a small mistake, it will be a loss. However, even so, there are still many marine scientists in Japan who have devoted themselves to this scientific research project one after another.
Therefore, in order to eat tuna, this Japanese people are really hard enough.
But these situations encountered by their scientific research species do not exist in the Qianliyan Fishing Ground.
Xiao Peng put a large amount of moss feed in the Qianliyan Fishing Ground. This moss feed is turned into food for small schools of fish in the fishing grounds, such as squid.
This promotes the growth of the fish and also changes the quality of their meat.
And they have become the best food for tuna. Tuna cruise around because of the high demands on the quality of the sea and the quality of the food. The food here is like nothing you've ever seen for tuna.
And the nutrient-rich feces of tuna become food for plankton and kelp, and then link by link, and the whole fishery forms a huge biological chain.
In such a living environment, let them go, they won't go------ these fish are not stupid, right? Where is there a better living space?
