Chapter 216: Serving Good Fish
Once the tuna is put on deck again, the bloody-looking slaughter begins.
Liu Danqing put on an apron made of plastic, and the first thing to do was to cut the artery and bleed, old Tony looked at the round body of the bluefin tuna, and exclaimed: "What a charming physique, Qin, this is really a good fish, it should reach the A extreme quality, it will be sent to Fuso Tsukiji Market, and then photographed by the best sushi restaurant." β
Xiao Weiwei heard Tony's exclamation, and asked in a daze, "Then how many dollars can this fish sell for, one million?"
Tony was stunned by the question and replied: "How can there be such an expensive fish, this fish may fetch 30,000 to 50,000 US dollars, and it will be higher in the event of a scramble." β
"Ah, that's it, isn't it a long time ago that a tuna fetched more than a million dollars? It's not as big as this one. Xiao Weiwei wondered.
Liu Danqing moved the big fish, stood up, and replied: "Weiwei, it was a special period, and the big companies were competing for the king of fish to show their strength, but also for the price shouted out in advertising, and the king of fish can only be the fish of Fusang country." β
"In tuna, the best meat quality is stored in ice, called chilled, followed by ultra-low temperature refrigeration, after the tuna is caught, after bleeding to internal organs, it is put into minus 60 degrees of ultra-low temperature cold storage frozen, and then put into minus 55 degrees of cold storage storage, this has a link called ultra-low temperature cold chain, the quality of this fish is also very good, the worst is carbon monoxide smoked color preservation tuna, the meat quality is the worst, but also easy to cause poisoning, but because of profits, repeatedly banned. β
"This is our chilled fish, which is the best preserved meat, so it is the most expensive, but it is rare to have more than 100,000 US dollars of fish, and 1 million US dollars of fish is unlikely to appear now. β
"According to Tony, it's possible to shoot this fish, and I guess it's a good fish that can be put in the back, so I have to be careful when handling it. β
Liu Danqing walked to the tail position of the big fish, took the fish killing knife, and continued to work while introducing: "First of all, I want to cut the tail, in fact, it is to cut the major artery of the tail, this fish is too heavy, so I will cut the tail to the fifth section of the penultimate section, so that it will not cause the tail to be too thin and break when it is hoisted." β
"Then cut off the back of the pectoral fin blood vessels, usually in the back of the pectoral fin of the tuna there are two blood vessels of arteries and veins, from the pectoral fin after the two blood vessels are cut off, the cut knife is 5 cm deep, 4 cm long, the degree of cutting should be appropriate, if the knife cut too deep, the blood will invade the internal meat, resulting in waste. Even if the fish has died in the water, the above actions must be performed, otherwise the bloodletting will be very slow and slow, affecting the quality of the meat. β
"The third step is to cut the anterior cephalic artery of the heart, then rinse the fish with seawater to prevent the temperature of the fish from rising, and then cut a hole in the inner lining of the gills, and pour the seawater into it with a water hose until the seawater flowing out of the tail is basically bloodless. β
Liu Danqing took the water pipe handed over by Tony, began to rinse the fish, drained the fish blood, and then took a long pin handed over by Tony, and used a wooden hammer to nail it into the depression on the fish's head, killing the fish completely.
Then he picked up the knife and walked to the tail of the fish.
"It's a bit hard to describe, but I still have to cut the knife from the chrysanthemum to the pectoral fin, take out all the internal organs of the fish, rinse it with seawater, and remove the black membrane from the abdomen. β
Taking out all the internal organs of the fish, Liu Danqing looked at those liver sausages and asked, "How about eating these at night?"
"Okay, we're fine. The three of them nodded together, and the internal organs of this fish were much larger than that of the grouper, and it looked delicious.
Liu Danqing asked Tony in English, and Tony immediately looked insensitive and replied: "Thank you, thank you, I don't have to eat these, I can eat some fried fish steak, the fish caught slightly is very good." β
Even Tony, who received orders from his superiors, still couldn't bear Huaguo's food, these internal organs were familiar to him, and he didn't feel sick, but the thought of eating them made him feel sick to his stomach.
Chinese people, especially some Chinese women, on the contrary, if they see raw internal organs, many will feel nauseous, especially the large intestine and the like, but when it comes to the dining table, the chopsticks dance so that it is called flying.
Liu Danqing put the internal organs into a bucket, and walked to the head of the fish with a knife.
"Now it's time to remove the gills, and after removing the gills, use a small spoon to chop off the miscellaneous meat attached to the bones inside the gills, but you can't scratch the flesh inside the gills, although it is a bit troublesome, but this will affect the price of the whole fish, so you must be careful. β
"Now it's the last step in dealing with bluefin tuna, which has to be brushed from the tail to the head and then rinsed with seawater to make the fish look more beautiful. β
After fiddling, Liu Danqing stood up and breathed a sigh of relief.
The chess piece was already stupid at this time, and said dumbly: "Master Qing, does this fish need to be so troublesome." These are too frustrating people, according to your meaning, if you don't get it right, the price won't be high?"
Even Tony looked at Liu Danqing with a cute look and asked, "Qin, are the requirements for bluefin tuna so high now?"
Liu Danqing smiled and replied, "Tony, do you know why the price of your fish is lower than that caught by the Fusang people? The Fusang people treat high-quality refrigerated fish like this, and when it is auctioned, the selling price is much higher." β
βhat?β Tony looked shocked and said, "That's just the kind of formalities that can go up the price of fish?"
"Tony, when you go to buy fruit, you should also buy it that looks clean and plump. β
"Shit, shit" Tony scolded angrily, saying that Lao Mi's vocabulary for scolding is really lacking.
"Those damn Fuso people, they do these little things, they never say it, they just say that our fish are not as good as Pacific bluefins. β
Liu Danqing smiled secretly in his heart: "Hehe, you can't provoke Lao Mi and Fusang Kingdom, but it's also quite good to provoke the tuna fishermen on both sides." β
At this moment, Lao Liu's indignant consciousness was greatly satisfied.
After telling the truth to old Tony, Liu Danqing attacked the big bluefin tuna again.
"Do you think that's the end of it? Not yet. β
"Now we're going to send this big fish into the refrigerated tank, and we're going to use the knife winch again, we have to be very careful, Tony, you operate the winch, and Weiwei will follow me down. β
Coming to the refrigerated cabin, Liu Danqing instructed: "Weiwei, chess pieces, you go and shovel some ice cubes and spread them on the ground, at least thirty centimeters, and the top layer must be finely broken." Also, do not lean against the bulkhead, at least fifty centimeters. β
"Dawei, let's spread this stretcher on the cart, and then use this cart to go to the side of the chute, ready to pick up the fish. β
Pushing the fish to the piled ice bed, the four of them lifted the fish together, and then Liu Danqing opened the tuna's mouth again and stuffed a large amount of ice cubes into it.
"When the ice is stuffed into the belly of the fish, it can not be stuffed from the abdomen, in a low temperature environment, frequent shaking of the belly of the fish will affect the quality of the meat, you know, the abdominal segment is the most expensive place on a fish, especially the big belly, the real price is more than a thousand gold. β
"Finally, we have to cover the fish with 30 centimeters of ice, so that the fish can last for 12 to 14 days. β
The audience in the live broadcast room was already stunned, and no one could have imagined that the best bluefin tuna would require so many processes to preserve just after it was caught on the boat.
"The young lady gave Danqing and Weiwei a spaceship - Master Qing, are you deceiving us, just this one fish, do you need to be so exaggerated?"
"Brontosaurus gave Danqing and Weiwei a spaceship - good guy, I can see that I am sweating, and I will eat a little sashimi for a while. β
"Crazy Cloud 8077 gave Danqing and Weiwei a spaceship - Qing Ye's fish is not sold? β
"Gujing Wufeng Yunyun gave Danqing and Weiwei a spaceship - speaking of Qingye, wouldn't it be a tyrannical thing to sell such a fish to the Fusang people and send it back to Huaguo. β
In addition, a group of old viewers such as Liqiang Oba, Speechless Lone Wolf, I live next door to your house, my surname is Zhao, Asian natives, Xiao Xiaomo, and Twilight of the Sky also began to ask Liu Danqing to send the bluefin tuna back to China, all in one sentence, and the price is yours.
However, the four of them didn't have time to pay attention to the situation in the live broadcast room at this time, and rushed to the back deck one by one, ready to continue fishing for bluefin tuna.
What's that, it's better to chase the poor with the leftovers.
The chess pieces consciously walked to the fish bucket and began to throw fish into the sea, Xiao Weiwei and Xing Dawei began to put on the bait and release the fishing line, while Liu Danqing walked quickly to the fish finder to see if the big fish were still nearby after such a long time.
At this time, night was approaching, Tony looked at the four people who were full of interest, and he couldn't bear to stop, but just said euphemistically: "Qin, it's going to be dark soon, and at most you can catch another one, you have to rest." β
Liu Danqing was stunned when he heard this, looked at the sky, and then reacted, and even pulled the fish belt to deal with it, and it took almost two hours for this big blue fin.
Before I knew it, it was already seven o'clock in the evening, and the sun had already set, no, it had gone down to the sea, and there was only a trace of afterglow, which still illuminated the sea.
"It's so late" Liu Danqing sighed, turned around and shouted: "Don't be busy, everyone, it's not early now, it's too dangerous to catch big fish at night, let's call it a day." β
Liu Danqing is naturally not needed for the finishing work, because he has more important things to do.
That's cooking the guts of that big bluefin.
After removing the head and bones of a grouper left behind, Liu Danqing began to deal with the internal organs.
After a while, the other three came to help.
If they were at home, these three people would not come to pick up these internal organs anyway, but on the boat, they were a little less restrained and restrained, and none of them were too dirty, and they were hot and turned to the sky.
Dinner is naturally the time to release poison again, half a centimeter thick, palm-wide fish intestines hot pot, just ask, who else?
