Chapter 324: The King of Taste

"When making sushi, the larger shrimp crickets are usually used, and after the shrimp crickets are cooked, the whole shrimp meat is peeled out, and then brushed with a layer of sauce made of soy sauce and sweet wine, the taste is fresh and elegant, and the slight sweetness of the sauce stimulates the natural taste of the shrimp crickets.

The female shrimp cricket in the summer spawning period has a plump yellow child, which is cut from the back, and the orange-red translucent yellow child is faintly visible. While eating sea cucumbers, Lin Yumin hadn't forgotten to stimulate Deng Chuge.

At this time, Mo Xie laughed and said: "He is not wrong, this is the season to eat skin shrimp, especially female shrimp, which is even more delicious." ā€

"Don't say it, I can't eat shrimp, I'll eat crabs, this kind of pike crab is very strange, why is it so big?" Saying that, Deng Chuge grabbed a strange sea crab.

Mo Ye looked at it and was speechless again, don't pretend to be a cultural person if you don't have culture, right? What is this crab like a pike crab?

You can't just pick up a crab and say it's a misshapen pike crab just because it produces pike crabs here!

"This is a stone crab, also called an emperor crab, and there are many of them in the Sea of Japan." Lin Yumin was silent for a while and then said.

"It's a cold-water crab, maybe there's a current coming from the north underwater, otherwise this crab wouldn't have lived here." Mo Ye also said.

Mo Xie remembered that he had caught a group of cod fish, and he found a lot of them at that time, and he saw that they were very big, so he caught them all.

Later, I checked the information and realized that it was a good thing.

This kind of crab foot king crab, also known as cod crab, that is, Kamchatka rocky crab, is generally distributed in the cold water waters of the Sea of Japan, the Sea of Okhotsk to the Bering Sea, and is called cod crab because it haunts the sea area where cod lives all year round.

It was also at this time that Mo Ye knew that he had inadvertently come to the sea where the cod lived.

Cod crabs are large crabs, with shells up to 25 cm or more wide, crab legs fully spread for nearly 1.5 meters, and the hard carapace is covered with small bulging spines, and the shell is dark purple, and when cooked, it is bright red and domineering.

The best place to produce cod crabs is in Hokkaido, and due to the decline in production in recent years, most of the cod crabs currently on the market are produced in Russia and Canada.

The cold waters of the Sea of Okhotsk give the cod crab a firm and elastic flesh, and the crab meat has a very sweet taste due to its high glycine content.

"So this thing is so famous? I don't know if there is crab paste, forget it, such a big size, even if there is no crab paste, it will be okay! "Deng Chuge doesn't mean anything to be ashamed of, as long as there is food and it is delicious, he can do anything.

"Eat crab in the morning?" Mo Xie knows the truth of being too late, he has eaten too many crabs recently, which is not good.

"Don't worry, I don't eat alone, there is only one emperor crab of this kind, so the crab leg will be good for you, am I very generous? Haha......" As he spoke, Deng Chuge laughed a little exaggeratedly.

"The best part of this crab is the crab legs!" Although he knew that Deng Chuge was joking, Mo Ye really couldn't bear to remind him that this kind of emperor crab mainly eats crab legs.

The main part of cod crab is crab legs, and the large pieces of crab leg meat can be used to knead nigiri sushi, and it is often used to make California rolls.

"Really? No way! Although he said so, Deng Chuge still looked at Lin Yumin.

At this time, Lin Yumin's face was also twitching, and he didn't know what to do, this was a slap in the face, not to say it, Deng Chuge knew about it in the future, and didn't blame him for hiding it?

"Otherwise, let's make spicy cucumber, charcoal can also be grilled, even if it is soup, it is delicious!" Lin Yumin said.

Cod crabs are also suitable for charcoal-grilled, sashimi, and soup, and it is common to see frozen cod crabs cooked and sold in domestic supermarkets.

"Forget it, let him eat this crab leg, let's eat other sea crabs, this time I got four famous crabs here." Mo Xie said with a smile.

Deng Chuge looked at Mo Ye suspiciously, no matter how dull he was, he didn't feel right at this time.

"Is this big crab really the best for legs? I don't read much, don't lie to me! Deng Chuge said hesitantly.

"Can this still deceive people? Just look it up on the Internet, I'll eat this cute crab! Mo Xie no longer cared about Deng Chuge, who was suffering from gains and losses, he caught a red crab.

This is the Hanasaki crab, the short-legged pseudo-stone crab, also known as the flower crab, the crab foot is much shorter than the cod crab, and the shell is also covered with thorns, like a cute version of the king crab.

Hanasaki crab has a sweet taste, similar meat quality to cod crab, and slightly higher fat content, which can be made into nigiri sushi, but it is more suitable for charcoal grilling and salt grilling, and the local cooking method is crab miso soup made from whole crabs, also known as "iron bubble sauce".

"I'm eating two snow crabs!" Lin Yumin has been following Mo Xie recently, and he has become familiar with them, and he also knows that although this boss is young, he is not harsh at all, and after a long time, he is very casual.

"There are only two of these snow crabs!" Deng Chuge looked at Mo Ye: "Why do you feel that there are not many of them?" ā€

Mo Ye rolled his eyes and ignored him at all, such a good thing, Mo Ye naturally wouldn't take out too much, and there were only one or two of each.

Like the big king crab, Mo Ye only took out one, and the relatively small Hanasaki crab had three or four.

Of course, the same is true for other crabs, such as the Matsuba crab, which has only two.

Loose leaf crabs, also known as gray-eyed snow crabs, also known as Chu crabs, Tsuwai crabs, and queen crabs, inhabit the bottom of the North Pacific Ocean, and can be caught from north of Shimane Prefecture in Japan to south of Hokkaido.

The biggest feature of the Matsuba crab is that it has a slender foot that can spread up to 70 cm, and the diameter of the crab body is more than 10 cm, and the male crab is slightly larger than the female crab.

The quality of the Matsuba crab produced in winter is at its peak, and it is also the favorite crab species of the Japanese people, and is known as the "king of taste in winter".

"Then make sashimi, let's all taste it, Xiao Chu should also wake up at this time!" Lin Yumin said.

Although Mo Xie had never eaten Matsuba crab sashimi, he had heard of it and knew that Matsuba crab was made, but it was better than cod crabs, so he also wanted to taste it very much, so he was naturally willing to make sashimi.

Deng Chuge went to the cabin to call Chu Tianyi, while Mo Ye followed Lin Yumin to the ship's kitchen, intending to learn how to deal with crabs.

Sashimi is actually eaten raw, and it is the easiest way to handle seafood, and this saying came from Japan, when fishermen in Hokkaido, Japan served sashimi, because it was not easy to identify the type of fish after peeling, so they often took some fish skin and then stabbed it on the fish fillet with a bamboo skewer to make it easier for everyone to identify.

The bamboo skewers and skin that are stabbed on the fillet were originally called "sashimi", but although this method is no longer used, the name "sashimi" is still retained.

Sashimi refers to things like slices, sashimi, and sashimi, and is a dish in which fresh fish, shrimp, and crabs are cut into slices and eaten directly with seasonings.

There are many ways to eat Matsuba crab, you can eat it directly as sashimi or cook it in water, and when you put fresh crab leg meat in ice water, the crab meat shrinks and "blooms" stalactite-like flowers.

The crab roe and crab meat are removed, served in crab shells, and then slowly grilled on a charcoal fire, filling the house with a fresh and irresistible fragrance.

Of course, it is also suitable for making crab meat hot pot or crab meat stuffy rice with vegetables in winter.

The crab meat is sweet and juicy, the crab roe is rich and mellow, and the sweetness is far better than that of cod crab, but the price of matsuba crab is not as good as that of cod crab.

Of course, this is because of the large production, so the price is also cheaper than the cod crab, but it is very cost-effective to eat it.

Cod crabs, Hanasaki crabs, Matsuba crabs, and hairy crabs are known as the four famous crabs of Hokkaido, and Mo Ye caught a lot of them, and he picked a few big ones for each one, and took them out to try them.

As soon as Chu Tian came out, he had no choice, so he could only eat hairy crabs.

Hairy crab is also called big chestnut crab and red crab, which is widely distributed in the northwest Pacific coast, and the whole body is light brown and covered with thick bristles, so it is called hairy crab.

Unlike the other three types of crabs, hairy crabs have long or thick feet, and it is difficult to remove the whole piece of crab meat, so crab meat salad rolls are usually made with minced crab meat, vegetables, and mayonnaise.

The most common method of hairy crab is to boil it directly, which retains the original flavor of crab meat, and the taste is very delicate, and there is no lack of sweetness unique to sea crabs.

In ancient Japan, it was difficult for crabs to reach the elegant hall, because they were peeled and picked, which was really decent, so hairy crabs were once ground and used as animal feed or canned crab meat.

However, its sweet taste eventually conquered people's taste buds, and today hairy crab has become one of Hokkaido's most representative specialties, with chain crab restaurants all over Japan.

Each person ate two crabs, Mo Ye and they drank morning tea on the deck, the morning tea was provided by Lin Yumin, there seemed to be ginger slices in it, it smelled fragrant, and it was good to drink, when the tea entered the stomach, the whole body immediately felt warm and comfortable.

Mo Xie knew that this was specially provided by Lin Yumin, mainly to neutralize the coolness of the crab, of course, this is also because the sea is relatively humid, and drinking some ginger tea can also drive away the dampness and cold.

"I'm a little embarrassed to eat and drink every day!" Satisfied, he took a sip of tea, Chu Tian.

"If only you weren't bored!" Mo Xie said with a smile.

Deng Chuge said: "It's the crew who is bored, because they need to work, and we are tired of eating and playing every day, how can we be bored?" ā€

Although he didn't know what Mo Xie was doing, Deng Chuge was not in a hurry at all, he came out this time to play with Mo Ye for a few months, even if he was floating on the sea for a few months, it didn't matter.

"Still here today? If we stay, we fish! Deng Chuge said.

Chu Tianyi also said: "It's okay if you don't stay, I'll continue to play sailing!" ā€

The sailboat that Chu Tianyi said was tied to the back of the fishing boat, and the rope led the sailboat, while he controlled the sailboat in the back.

Although the speed is not fast, the feeling of breaking the wind and waves is still very good.
