Chapter 243: Cooking
"Smoked bluefin tuna chunks! This can also be smoked? ”
Jennifer felt incredible, but the taste of the tuna family was really tasty when chewed, and the yellow fin she had eaten, as well as the bonito, which she had eaten a lot of recently, was indeed delicious! It has a sour and sour taste peculiar to smoked meat!
"This shop sells all kinds of bluefin tuna aged meat, and smoking is also a way of aging. Once a protein is converted to amino acids, it tastes completely different. The flesh of bluefin tuna is firm and definitely not much softer than bonito when dried, so the smoking technique is important and you can't really dry it...... Delicious, right? How many do you want to make snacks? I'm in for a treat. ”
Jennifer looked at the 'horse manure eggs' that Tang Haiqiang stuffed into her, this faint combination of smoky sourness and the sweetness of tuna was really ......
Sour things are not necessarily bad, such as yogurt, Tang Hai will never tell people that he likes to drink things like waha, haha, and crooked.
Bluefin tuna is mainly eaten by Japanese people, so they decide what the price of the meat is, and the bluefin tuna is more expensive than the sweet and sour one.
For example, Tang Hai returned to his hometown this time and designed the back-to-pot meat in China is fried chili, green onions and garlic, but whether he makes the back-to-the-pot meat for the Japanese or the Americans, he will put cabbage to sweeten the dish.
Pacific bluefin tuna is usually caught from April to June, but in Japan, when caught in late June or July, the taste is slightly sour, and this price is the highest!
Tang Hai wanted Jennifer to taste it, but at this time, he couldn't get fresh ones, and others didn't handle them as well as him, so it was better not to.
Now in Tang Hai's opinion, this kind of 'horse manure eggs and eggs' is already the most common snack for the moderately rich, almost the highest grade, you can eat directly, and it is even more delicious with wine.
"I don't want it, there is no killing without buying and selling."
“…… You're really tenacious, then I want 10 pounds, send a little to my father-in-law's house, and leave a little in the fishery to make snacks......"
Hundreds of pounds of bluefin tuna start at tens of thousands of dollars. After initial processing, it can be twice as expensive, and if it is sold at a top sushi restaurant in Japan, it can be several times more expensive, and a hundred pounds of bluefin will eventually bring about $300,000 in capital flow for the entire industry chain. It's unbelievable to think about.
The profits are so high that it's impossible to stop the hunt.
For the 10 pounds of horse manure and eggs that Tang Hai bought, it also cost more than 10,000 US dollars, but Tang Hai doesn't feel too distressed about this number now.
"Can I process the cuts of meat directly here? Are there vacuum bags and crushed ice? ”
"No problem at all." The shopkeeper looked at Tang Hai with a smile, he had already guessed what Tang Hai was going to do......
"Maturation? Can tuna do the same? Jennifer saw Tang Hai fiddling with a piece of meat. Suddenly there was a feeling of 'unheard of'!
"Of course."
Bluefin tuna has firm flesh and bright red color, and it is ready for aging! It's just that this is fish meat after all, and it can't be hung up and blown by the wind, so the technique is a little different.
After spraying some of the 'yeast water' given by the store, Tang Hai carefully took a piece of white paper and slowly folded it to wrap the meat......
And then another blank sheet of paper is wrapped!
The third time it was still a blank slate!
The fourth time is green, a very common tissue paper!
This thing is often hung in public toilets outside for people to smoke and wipe their buttocks or wipe their faces after washing their faces, and there are also used to make paper and dishwashing at home. It is a common paper with a wide range of uses!
The maturation process is shrinkage, since it can't be dried to shrink, use paper to suck! As well as sucking with ice!
After the four layers of wrapping, Tang Hai took out the sealed bag and packed it, and carefully pressed out the air inside, if it was in a professional restaurant, there would be vacuum pumping equipment, in fact, there was no big difference.
I put the bag in the foam box and made another one, for a total of two pieces.
It is sprinkled with crushed ice. Close the box again.
Coupled with the previous horse manure eggs, Tang Hai spent 15,000 US dollars, Tang Hai felt that it was still cheap, and it was estimated that it would be 25,000 in 2013......
This is what the truly rich eat. If Tang Hai were to handle this in a top-notch restaurant, these would sell for more than $100,000 in the end! A small plate of meat is estimated to cost 30 grams, and it can be sold for $175! If you have at least a million dollars or more, you will eat it once in a while!
Seeing Tang Hai handing over the money and holding the goods in the other, and following out, Jennifer exclaimed: "No wonder this thing is going to be killed and exterminated." It's too profitable...... Those who rob gold shops are stupid! Robbing this store is more profitable than robbing the gold store! ”
"If you grab this thing, you must shoot as soon as possible, otherwise it will rot, and you can only find a master who can deal with tuna, and a master who can handle tuna will not smash his hard-won job for the sake of small profits."
Jennifer shook her head, still not understanding what the diners were thinking, they didn't know how many meals they could eat, and a low-grade car ate them. And there are still a lot of people who are willing to eat it, and look at it, the species will be eaten extinct.
"Then get me tuna when you go back?"
"It takes about two weeks for protein to be converted into amino acids, so I'll write a date and write it down in two weeks, so I can eat it in two weeks."
"What about your integrity? Didn't you say you were going to treat me to tuna? ”
"The tail should be ready, you'll know when you get back."
Tail had already listened to Tang Hai's instructions, and took people out to sea to fish in the morning, the target was bonito, Tang Hai left some feed for him, and also told him where to fish.
A text message came over, and the tail had already been handed.
Back to the villa.
Tang Hai put the cutting board on the sink, and Jennifer watched him handle the bonito.
This thing is more torpedo-like than bluefin tuna, so its name is also 'bomb fish', because the meat is also hard in the fish, and it is indestructible when dried, so it is also called 'bonito'.
The general shape is similar to that of the bluefin, after all, it is a subfamily.
Tang Hai's first knife slowly cut into the belly of the fish, and gently broke it with a cutting method, which was the first knife.
The two knives are pierced through the cheeks, and not only the gills are cut off, but the lower part of the bones is also severed.
Then Tang Hai's hand reached in and directly took out his cheeks and all the internal organs! A big black mass!
Fish killers know that there are often some fish with black internal organs, such as saury, but this is not the standard for judging pollution and heavy metals, bonito is black with or without pollution, the same is true for saury, and many species of river fish are even more so.
Jennifer's eyes widened in an instant, she had never seen someone who could play with a knife as well as Tang Hai!
This is simply an extension of Tang Hai's body, no wonder Tang Hai never lets people touch his own special kitchenware!
On the fourth knife, Tang Hai's fingers followed the knife into the belly of the fish, and after touching it, he began to remove the meat, and a piece of two or three catties of fish was peeled off by him!
