Chapter 256: Cod Hot Pot
The life of a fisherman is very hard.
Even if it is a domestic fishing boat that wants to go to sea, it will pay a monthly salary of 15,000 yuan, or even rare fish above a certain level, and it can belong to sailors if it is caught, and it is difficult to recruit people locally under such superior conditions.
It's not just hard work, it's also danger and so on.
The most common way to plant kelp, seven or eight hundred catties of kelp under a rope, at least Johnny can't pull them up.
Even if it is harvesting kelp in China, many locals are reluctant to do it, and they also hire outsiders to do it!
Not to mention sea fishing, which is even more dangerous......
Compared with China, at least in seafood-related aspects, Tang Hai feels that Lao Mei does not take human life seriously, don't look at the income of fishermen who have reached the middle class, that is because they are desperate, the reason why they are desperate is because Lao Mei fishermen have a low level of education, and they can't find any other way to make more money except for going to the sea to work.
In the past few days, the primary school brothers and sisters who received Malena received more than 80,000 yuan from the fishing farm, which is better than nothing, mainly to earn face for Malena and establish a reputation.
In the mouths of the people in the nearby villages, every Fengmen Mountain bandit is a great good person. Every truly powerful top drug lord is also a national hero in the eyes of nearby villagers. It is said that distance is the best defense, and Tang Hai feels that word of mouth is also.
At the end of the week, Tang Hai said that he wanted to check the situation of the cod, and Marlena and Gamboa said that they just wanted to eat the cod, so they followed the boat, and then everyone who should follow, a large group of people.
Tang Hai finally understood why there was so much extra fuel consumption when he looked at last year's account book, and they must have done this often before he came.
Walking on the slippery deck, several sea rods hung in fixed positions.
There is no difference between Pacific cod and Atlantic cod, which is the most nutritious juvenile fish and is in high demand worldwide.
Tang Hai only produces real cod, and the output is not high.
The U.S. harvests mostly in the Pacific Ocean, the one in the McDonald's package of the 'Alaskan Cod Fort', to be caught in Alaska.
Washington State produces only Pacific cod, which is produced in very low quantities. This stuff is produced in large quantities only in a few places in Japan, such as Hokkaido.
When I think of Hokkaido, I think of that girl from Hokkaido, and I don't know how she has been doing lately, and there is less time online on a forum to play with. Said that he was too busy and wanted to help with the work at home......
A little irritable, Tang Hai went to look at the fishing rod and shook the spinning wheel twice, but there was no resistance. Didn't catch the fish.
The fishing season for cod is in January, when it feeds on fat, greasy smelt, so the cod is also the fattest at that time, but this is not bad. Especially in the Dahlia Fish Farm, Tang Hai has specially fed nutritious saury.
Most cod is caught in nets and sells for a little less than Dungeness crabs, but it is also sold to specialized restaurants for twice the price of netting when caught with a fishing line and not being injured. One has a large yield. A high percentage of income has both advantages and disadvantages.
There is also a black technology in this area, that is, a long-line fishing boat, the spinning wheel is 800 meters long, and there are 250 hooks hanging in it, and after putting it down, it will not catch only one fish, mainly for cod, turbot, and deep-sea snapper. This thing needs a super master to play, and the fisherman has to tidy up his fishing line until he wants to hit someone.
Tang Hai just wanted to catch one and come up to see the taste, and he didn't bother to go to the net. He doesn't have long-line fishing tools, but he has a very long spinning wheel, which is not enough to deal with Atlantic cod, but it is very good against Pacific cod.
Real cod caught in Washington State nets is generally a 'giveaway' for catching herring. But Tang Hai knew the situation of Dahlia, and he could catch the cod directly.
After a while, Tang Hai went to gently shake the spinning wheel again.
In Japan, there is a special machine for fishing for cod, and the sea fish beep directly when they are hooked, but there is no one on the Little Princess, so it can only be done manually.
Didn't shake!
There are fish!
Tang Hai fast, slow, fast, slow reel. At the same time, he was walking around and fishing.
His hook is a bait hook, not a mimic bait, but a hook that divides in three directions with a beam of steel, and the fish will think it is bait when they see something large suspended in the water. The common bait for sea fishing is sand silkworms, which has the same effect as river fishing for earthworms, but there are also floating rock fishing methods that do not require bait.
Cod are a lot dumber than leatherback turtles, leatherback turtles can't understand plastic bags, and cod can't understand bait hooks.
The reason why Tang Hai wanted to slip the fish was because the hook he used did not have barbs! If there are barbs, the fish will not be able to escape after taking the bait!
Soon, Tang Hai pulled up a real cod with a length of about 45 cm, and it was still alive!
"Such a big cod! Marlena wants to eat caviar! Ma Lena cheered behind Tang Hai, the temperature was 8 degrees Celsius today, and it was on the sea, so she was dressed quite thickly, and she also wore a cylinder hat, and she was applauding vigorously when she saw the fish.
Malena thinks that the one with a round belly is a female fish, which is so naïve! That's not round enough!
Tang Hai walked to the kitchen with the gills of the fish, and the little gluttonous cat Marlena followed behind.
"What does the fish want to do? Fish cuts? ”
Tang Hai was originally a Mexican fish cut, like a grandfather and grandson who visited it every day.
The correct name for that thing should be the French white sauce fish cuts, because Tang Hai used freshwater sunfish instead, so it became 'Mexican fish cuts', and the French tomato sauce was also changed to Mexican-style hot sauce, and now the real cod is used to restore the original color.
"No, it's a little cold, let's have a hot pot."
Tang Hai's spatula is quickly scaled, and then used to process mackerel, bonito and other fish, which is the Japanese seafood knife technique in the three knife method, those who learn seafood processing will learn this, and the cod will be 'separated from the flesh and bone'.
The stomach was a white mass, like chicken intestines, but the color was creamy white.
"Roe! Roe! ”
Tang Haicai would not say that the roe of the cod is wrapped in a ball of thin skin similar to the liver, but this kind of white is actually ......
The male's nest!
But the taste is still great, Tang Hai's favorite food when he was a child was the rooster's 'balls', because there is nothing to supplement male hormones, and those things are all things to make nutritional supplements for the youngest children.
The fish white does not need special treatment, just cut it!
Then add it up with a steel shelf, and spray it directly with something similar to the fire-breathing thing that burns pig hair, which is the latest kitchen safety prop, but Tang Hai doesn't like to use it very much.
In some places, it is slightly charred outside, but the fish white temperature is not up to eat when it is the best.
Caviar and fish white are more precious, and the market probably sells for at least $30, but Tang Hai and Malena don't care about the price now.
Tang Hai was doing it, and Ma Lena was eating next to her, the plate was always empty, and it was not until Ma Lena couldn't eat it anymore that she took it out.
Tang Hai salted the fish, covered it with dried kelp to absorb water, and then cracked the fish bones to make soup.
Put the fish bone broth in the hot pot, and then add the white radish, carrots, potatoes, diced garlic, cooking wine, soy sauce, kelp, and salt to make the soup......
Then let go of flower mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, etc. to taste, and finally put three clams to make it fresh!
Parsley, that is, coriander, plus soy sauce to make a flavor dish, this thing is not only fragrant, but also can remove bad breath, Western food, especially French cuisine favorite this.
Put the salted fish slices in it, and the warmest thing to warm your body and soul when it's cold, 'Cod Sanhei Sauce Assorted Hot Pot Soup' appears!
A group of backbones ate hot all over the hot pot, and they all felt that they would definitely make a lot of money selling cod this year......
"Don, did you say that the real cod caught next door is of the same quality as ours?" Malena clutched her bulging belly and said suddenly.
