Chapter 340: It's a little delicious
Two hours later, a low-legged round table was stretched out on the deck, and one after another delicacies were served out of the cabin.
The first dish is "Grouper Sashimi", which uses small fat meat on the top of the belly of the fish, which is not fat or lean, and the taste is just right, and the thin fish fillet is sliced and placed on the ice.
The second dish is the "Fish Intestine Omelette", after the fish intestine is scrubbed with starch and refined salt, the fat and fishy smell on it are removed very cleanly, cut into small pieces, blanched and stir-fried with eggs, and the fragrance is tangy.
The third dish is "Steamed Grouper", which is made with a thick belly meat, and after steaming, the oil in the fish is steamed and poured out, and then poured with a layer of soy sauce, which is fragrant and pleasant.
Then, Zhang Li and they brought out a large pot of red fish pieces, a winter melon fish ball, and two fried fish steaks.
The finale is a grouper hot pot with a heat wave and red peppers floating in the white soup. Three plates of fish fillets, fat or lean, two plates of fish pieces, simply chopped with a knife, and the only side dishes are potatoes, bean sprouts and tofu.
In the end, the captain brought two more bottles of liquor, and both of them unscrewed the caps, and the smell of wine hit people, causing the crew to hurry around.
The captain looked at the table full of delicacies, swallowed his saliva and asked, "Ali, why hasn't Murphy come up yet?"
Zhang Zhang hurriedly went down to the cabin and please. When he arrived at the kitchen, he saw Mo Fei holding a piece of pickled salted fish, smelling and licking it, looking a little obscene.
"Mo Fei still has this hobby?" Zhang Zhang was puzzled, what is there to smell and lick the pickled mackerel, with a fishy smell, it tastes salty and smelly, and I am tired of eating it on weekdays.
He coughed and knocked on the door: "Murphy, the captain invites you to go up and eat." ”
"Eat first, I'll wait. Mo Fei replied, and put the pickled mackerel pieces in his hand into the pot.
Zhang Li was curious, so he stared at Mo Fei, wanting to see what else he could figure out.
The captain couldn't wait for the left and the right, so he asked someone to go down and ask for it. The man came back and said, "Mo Fei is still cooking, and he won't get better for a while."
The captain hesitated for a moment, then said, "Then let's wait." ”
Everyone was stunned, the captain had never eaten a small stove, and he had never waited for any crew to eat, and now the sun came out in the west.
In the humble kitchen, hot water boiled in the pot, boiling the hard-pickled mackerel pieces, and the steam smelled fishy.
Mackerel, commonly known as mackerel, is a common marine fish. When fishermen go to sea, they are accustomed to marinating some mackerel for food, which is relatively easy to obtain, inexpensive, and has a high fat content, and can be stored for a long time after pickling.
Murphy saw that there were quite a few in the kitchen, so he took a look. Who knew that these mackerel had been marinated for a long time, and no one wanted to eat them, and they all became extremely hard, as hard as stones, and smelled fishy and a little smelly. However, he sniffed it carefully, and the mackerel pieces had been weathered and burned by smoke and fire, and they still had the rare smell of old fragrance.
After steaming for a while, the water in the pot turns milky white, so take it out and wait for it to cool. Taking advantage of this, he cut the ginger, green onions, and garlic and fried them in a pan until browned and took them out. At this time, the oil is slightly red, and it is soaked with the fragrance of ginger, onion and garlic.
Then, Mo Fei put the mackerel pieces in the pan and began to fry them, and the hot oil splashed out, and the salty aroma of the fish came out.
After a while, the mackerel pieces were fried until they were golden brown, the fat in the fish pieces was fried, and a strange aroma wafted from the kitchen.
This fragrance is no longer as simple as a salty fragrance, nor is it a simple greasy fragrance of fat turning into oil, but a fragrance that has lasted for years, including the sweet aroma after the conversion of amino acids, and the fresh fragrance of fish after it has been reactivated.
Standing outside the kitchen, Zhang Li took a deep breath, and then his saliva overflowed, where is this still salty and terrible pickled mackerel, which is clearly a high-quality fish meat that has been carefully smoked.
The fragrance wafted out of the cabin and onto the deck, and everyone involuntarily took a few more sips and reveled in it.
"This ink is amazing, there are still dishes!"
"Yes, this grouper is too worthwhile, he ate it and squeezed it clean. ”
"I think something is wrong, grouper is fragrant, why do I smell a salty fragrance. ”
Everyone was talking, tension was in front, and a big plate came out, and Mo Fei followed behind.
"No!" someone shouted.
"Oh my God, I read that right!" someone shouted.
"Captain, look, it's pickled mackerel!"
The captain stood up, and saw seven or eight mackerel pieces on the plate, and immediately lost his appetite, and he was tired of eating this thing all day long. Even if he doesn't eat for the rest of his life, he won't think about it.
"Mo Fei, why are you doing this thing again!" The captain was a little dissatisfied, the grouper is so delicious, usually I can't afford to eat it, this time I opened foreign meat, and you brought mackerel again, wouldn't it ruin the atmosphere.
"Huh. Mo Fei smiled: "My hands itched for a while, and I couldn't help but do it." You've all tasted it, and it tastes different from before. ”
The captain waved his hand and said, "Let's put it first, we're all scared." ”
Although it smelled very good and looked different, everyone nodded in agreement.
"Hey...... you"
Zhang Zhang saw the whole process of Mo Fei's cooking mackerel, and he was already hungry, so he put the plate in the leeward place, and picked up a piece and put it on his small plate first.
Someone else laughed and said, "Ali, haven't you eaten enough?"
"This time it's different, you can taste it!" tension gestured to the man, and he quickly ducked to the side.
"Our chef is here, let's all take a seat. ”
The captain smiled and said, "Today is a good day, we are lucky enough to eat a large grouper, thanks to Murphy. I propose, let's raise a glass together, thank Mo Fei, thank Mazu for bringing us good luck!"
Everyone stood up, raised their glasses, shouted "thank you", and drank them all.
It's time to eat!
This is a long-lost feast, and even if you return to the shore, you are reluctant to eat such luxury.
Fresh fish, bringing the most delicious taste and the most gorgeous texture.
【Grouper sashimi】The taste is light and sweet, and it is the original taste of fresh fish.
【Fish intestine omelette】Sweet and delicious, the deliciousness of the fish intestine blends into the tenderness of the egg, which makes your finger appetizing.
……
Everyone ate so well that the captain forgot about the drink.
After tasting it once, Zhang Li picked up the piece of fried mackerel that had been left out in the cold and took a bite lightly.
The skin of the fish is crispy, and the fish meat has turned into garlic cloves, with a bit of toughness, which is a completely different taste from before. What surprised him the most was that the taste of the fish was no longer so salty, with a stale aroma of time. Taste it carefully, the fishy smell is gone, the stench is gone, and the mouth is full of fish fragrance.
He couldn't help but shake his head, where is the criticized pickled mackerel, which is clearly a fish that has been carefully salted and smoked for many years, fragrant but not greasy, fresh but not salty!
In front of everyone's eyes, Zhang Zhang ate a whole piece of fried mackerel, and everyone looked at him differently.
I don't know when, there is also an extra piece of fried mackerel on Mo Fei's plate, and he is tasting it carefully.
Seeing everyone's eyes, he smiled and said, "It's really good, you can taste it." ”
The captain swallowed a bouncy fish ball and couldn't help but ask Mo Fei, "Is it really delicious?"
Murphy nodded, and tore off a piece for him, "Taste it." ”
The captain plucked up his courage, put it in his mouth, chewed it twice, and his face showed an incredible expression, and then he nodded and smiled: "It's a little delicious." ”
