Remember [ .] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!

"Ugh。。。。。。 It's all gluttony. Xiao Peng looked at the three little things in front of him, and he couldn't laugh or cry.

Wang Hu leaned over: "This thing is a seal, right? It looks like a leopard." ”

Xiao Peng shook his head: "This is really not a seal, this is called a fur seal, to be precise, it is a northern sea seal." Although it looks like a seal, it is larger than a seal, and according to science, fur seals are close relatives of sea lions, and seals are not the same species. ”

Xiaoqiu leaned over: "Is this thing delicious?"

"Eat, eat, eat, you know, eat, this thing is going extinct, okay? It's forbidden to hunt wild fur seals privately. Xiao Peng said angrily.

But the hill heard the question: "You mean that private hunting is prohibited? What if it is a state hunt?"

Xiao Peng sighed: "The biggest difference between a fur seal and a seal is its thick and smooth fur. Therefore, it is also called a fur sea lion. Because of its fur, it is almost extinct. In the world, only Namilia in southern Africa is authorized by the United Nations to kill fur seals reasonably, that is, only Namilia's fur seal products are legal. ”

Wang Hu interjected: "I see a lot of fur seal products in our country, what Canadian fur seal oil, Canadian fur dog whip, you go to a certain treasure to search for a large piece." ”

"Ahh Not to mention the production and manufacture of fur seal products. ”

"What about the so-called 'Canadian fur seal oil' on the market?" Wang Hu asked.

Xiao Peng smiled coldly: "Then they are all seals! Canada allows seals to be hunted! Because of their similar appearance, many lawbreakers in China take advantage of this to wantonly promote Canadian seals as fur seals for profit." Because of this, Canadian seals are in danger of extinction, and now the entire European Union has banned all Canadian seal trade. ”

Xiaoqiu listened and took a cool breath: "This Nima is darker than the longevity fish。。。。。。 ”

Xiao Peng said: "Who said it wasn't. ”

Xiao Peng said as he took out a Pacific cod from the fish pile, cut it into sections with a knife, and fed it to the three little ones: "Fur seals don't chew, they eat, or swallow them whole, or tear them up and swallow them." Anyway, it's just one word: swallow. Chop and feed them so that they can eat. ”

However, the fur seals are still relatively afraid of people, so Xiao Peng simply used the Spiritual Enlightenment Technique for them, and they were relieved to eat it. After eating, Xiao Peng asked someone to put them back into the sea together.

"This fur seal looks like a good swimmer. Wang Hu sighed.

Xiao Peng nodded: "Don't underestimate them, they never go ashore in the sea for eight months a year." Only during the four-month breeding period will they go ashore. Now is the time for them to breed. Kamchatka, ahead of us, is one of the breeding grounds of the Northern Fur Seal. ”

"My good girl, I soak in the sea for eight months a year, isn't this about to catch up with the whales?"

"Alright, don't talk nonsense, hurry up and get to work!Sort the catch!" Xiao Peng ordered.

Although this is mainly a school of large-scale salmon, there are many other fish in it, such as Pacific halibut, which will also migrate with the school of large-scale salmon, which is less effort and faster. There are also cod, and of course, there are predators who are also caught in purse seine nets, in addition to the fur seals just now, mako sharks and Pacific bluefin tuna.

Mako sharks are thrown straight back into the sea, while bluefin tuna 。。。。。。 Bloodletting, cheek cutting and internal organs, directly into the ultra-low temperature quick-freezing cabin. Kindness. This is a fortune。。。。。。

"Boss, I'm really getting rich now. Seven large bluefin tuna, each of which costs three or four hundred kilograms. More than 30 tons of salmon, more than 10 tons of Pacific cod, plus a few tons of Pacific halibut, and trash fish such as albacore tuna and skipjack tuna also have a few tons. How much can this sell for? Wang Hu couldn't do it excitedly.

It seems that the bluefin tuna and the albacore tuna mixed together and ended up coming in together.

Xiao Peng picked up the cut tuna tail and looked at it: "Xiaoqiu, give me a knife to use." ”

Xiaoqiu handed Xiao Peng a dagger, Xiao Peng cut off a piece of meat from the cut fish tail, put it in his mouth and tasted it: "Grade." If you don't go to auction, you can sell it for more than 100 meters of gold and a pound. ”

"How much is a pound?" Wang Hu asked.

"454 grams, North America and Europe like to use this unit of measurement, in fact, it is just a different unit of measurement. Xiao Peng said.

Wang Hu calculated for a long time: "Isn't this just one close to 100,000 meters of gold?"

Xiao Peng nodded: "Alas, in fact, this is not big, the really big ones can grow to more than 1,200 catties." It's a pity that now, catching a hundred and fifty kilograms can be considered a bumper harvest. ”

Xiaoqiu stared at the cut fish tail: "There is still a lot of meat here, you can make a sashimi and eat it." ”

"Don't be ashamed, okay?" Xiao Peng said speechlessly: "Just make a soup with a fish tail and drink it." Go get a albacore tuna, wake up for a day and make sashimi, and everyone eats it with an open stomach. "A longfin tuna is more than 100 catties, not enough for the people on the boat?

When Xiao Peng said waking up for a day, he refers to the aging process of tuna meat. You should know that the flesh of tuna has a texture of tendons, and it is aged to soften the tendons.

Tuna is a typical representative of the fish that needs to be aged in island cuisine, and generally speaking, the method of aging tuna is to wrap the tuna meat in multiple layers of absorbent paper, and place it in a temperature and humidity controlled environment, such as in the refrigerator freezer, and change the absorbent paper regularly to monitor the aging situation. Sometimes, to keep the temperature low, a plastic bag is placed over the absorbent paper, placed in ice cubes, and aged in the refrigerator.

The aging time of tuna is related to the size of the tuna and also depends on the time it takes for the fish to be transported to the restaurant from the time it is harvested. Generally speaking, small and medium-sized tuna can be aged for one or two days, and large tuna can be aged for 10-14 days, and some can even be aged for 20 days.

The Vladimir is full of freshly hooked fish, which is about a day old.

"Long live the boss!" Hearing Xiao Peng's words, Xiaoqiu cheered directly. Albacore tuna is no longer valuable, and it is not a problem to buy a few kilometers of gold for one, Xiao Peng directly took it out for everyone to eat. Can the hillock not be excited?

"Stop talking nonsense, let's go wake up the fish. Tell everyone to hurry up and divide the fish into cabins, maybe there will be schools of fish. Xiao Peng said.

"Yes, boss!" the crowd hurriedly sorted the fish.

Xiao Peng saw that there was nothing going on on the deck, and walked back to the cockpit.

"What fish?" Yang Meng asked as he watched Xiao Peng come in.

Xiao Peng replied: "Large-scaled salmon school. Mixed with flounder, tuna and the like. If we come to Petropavlovsk again, we will make a lot of money. ”

"Isn't our country, Heilongjiang Province, known as the 'hometown of salmon'?" asked Yang Meng.

Xiao Peng nodded: "That's right, this has something to do with the living habits of the salmon, to put it simply, born in the river, growing in the sea of fish, and returning to the stream where he was born after maturity, and dying after laying eggs, and the cycle repeats itself from generation to generation." The proverb doesn't always say, 'Salmon loves its homeland, grows up in the sea and dies and returns home'. The salmon in our country is generally humpback salmon and red salmon, which are mainly distributed in the Ussuri River, Songhua River, Tumen River and other water systems, but the estuaries of these rivers are mostly not in China, so the quality of the salmon caught in our country is not high. The one we came across is called the salmon. There is also a domineering name, called the king salmon. ”

Yang Meng frowned and asked, "This salmon is salmon, right?"

"Ugh. Xiao Peng was stunned: "This, you can say so, or you can't say so." This problem is too big to explain in one sentence or two. ”

Yang Meng lit his pipe: "Anyway, we have more time now, you can talk about it." ”

Xiao Peng went to the recliner, put his mind into the bottom of the sea to look for fish, lit a cigarette and chatted with Yang Meng: "A long, long time ago, there was a fish in the North Atlantic that migrated to the rivers along the coast of Europe every year to spawn. This is because the fish will struggle to jump up the waterfall and swim upstream as it migrates. So people called it 'salmo' in Latin, which means to rise, and later the word gradually evolved into 'salmon', which is our transliteration of salmon. That is, Atlantic salmon, is pure salmon. ”

Yang Meng was puzzled after hearing this: "But now I see what Alaskan salmon, Norwegian salmon, and freshwater salmon are." Many, many kinds. ”

Xiao Peng said with a smile: "Taxonomists have found that there are fish similar to Atlantic salmon all over the world, because they not only change their body color when migrating like Pacific salmon, but also the upper and lower jaws will become hook-shaped, so taxonomists divide them into 'salmon' and Atlantic salmon belong to 'salmon'." But they are all under the salmonidae subfamily, and to put it bluntly, they are close relatives. And according to the time they go back to laying eggs, they can be divided into two biogroups, summer type and autumn type, and we only have autumn type in China. In other words, pure salmon is Atlantic salmon. And these close relatives of his are generally referred to collectively as Pacific salmon. ”

"Then why are there so many different salmon now?" Yang Meng asked.

Xiao Peng smiled: "That's another story, Atlantic salmon is very popular, so the market price is very high. Profiteers have found that many species of Pacific salmon look very similar to Atlantic salmon! So in order to open up the concept of popularity, those merchants took advantage of the fact that the English name of Pacific salmon also has the characteristics of the word "salmon" to confuse Pacific salmon with the well-known "salmon", so the salmon in the market is also confused, and what Alaskan salmon, red salmon and other fish appear on people's tables. ”

Yang Meng sighed: "Isn't this Nima cheating money?"

Xiao Peng shook his head and said: "You are wrong, this is really not a money fraud, it can only be regarded as opening up the market, because the price of wild Pacific salmon of real high-quality varieties is much higher than that of Atlantic salmon! It's just that they all flow into the high-end tables of Europe and the United States, and China rarely imports them." ”

Yang Meng asked puzzledly, "Then why do you still call them profiteers?"

Xiao Peng laughed: "Mengzi, you are still too naΓ―ve, haven't you heard of freshwater salmon and golden salmon? If you have heard of it, then I tell you, that is the real method of profiteers, more ruthless than the so-called 'longevity fish'!"

ps: When I posted this chapter just now, there was an error on the computer, and I sent it several times, which made the book friends spend more money. I really don't know what to say about it.

I really didn't mean to cheat money, kneel and beg for forgiveness. I was wrong!
