1697. Got a Baby (part 7/10)

Roasted corn is actually more popular than roasted meat and fish, Qin Shiou roasted it and put it on the back, and after a group of people tasted it, they immediately threw away the meat in their hands, grabbed the corn and began to gnaw it.

The tastes of the group are scattered very distinctively, Geng Junjie ten Chinese eat spicy, teenagers eat sweet, farewell island fishermen eat fragrant, ladies eat sour, but all eat.

Today's main dish is actually Dungeness crab, Reyeke didn't care when he caught it at first, and when Qin Shiou was about to steam it, Reyeke was surprised to see it: "Schute, Dungeness crab?" Can Dungeness crab still be produced in the North Atlantic? Did I read it wrong or did I read it wrong? ”

Dungeness crabs are a rare species of marine crabs, as their name suggests, and they are thought to live only in the waters of the northeastern Pacific Ocean, from the Aleutian Islands in Alaska to Southern California, and are not found in the Atlantic Ocean.

Qin Shiou said with a grin: "This is the power of technology, man, I think you now know why I hired Professor Sanders to work in the fishery with a high salary, right?" ”

Reyeck's face was full of admiration, he was also from an old fisherman's family, and knew what it meant: "Professor Sanders actually did this? If Dungeness crabs could be farmed in the Atlantic, it would be a great deal! ”

The production of Dungeness crab is decreasing year by year, and in the last decade, the annual production of this crab has dropped from 30,000 tons in a good year to 15,000 tons in what is now considered a low production year, and the production has plummeted by half!

Naturally, the price of Dungeness crab has increased year by year, not by only 50%, but since 10 years ago. The changes have been tenfold, so if only the Atlantic Ocean could produce this precious and delicious crab. That would have too much impact on the local fishing industry.

Qin Shiou didn't mind that everyone would raise Dungeness crabs together, but without the support of the Poseidon energy. These crabs may not survive, and even if they do, they will not grow as fast as they do in the Daqin Fishing Grounds.

Compared with king crabs, king crabs, brown crabs, etc., Dungeness crabs are small, even if they have the improvement of Poseidon's energy, they are only a little more than a kilogram, and they can grow to two kilograms only a handful.

A kilogram of crab is the size of an ordinary plate, and after dividing it in half, a piece of crab is placed in exactly one plate.

However, despite its small size, Dungeness crab has a high meat yield. The yolk is bigger, July is already a good time to eat Dungeness crab, September and October are the mating seasons for Dungeness crabs, and the jumbo crab roe is the largest and fullest in July and August.

Dungeness crabs are not allowed to be fished in the North Pacific Ocean at this time, and even during the fishing season, Canada and the United States now require that female crabs not be fished. Of course, in fact, female crabs have flowed into the market, but they are only specially supplied to the powerful, and ordinary people have no channels to eat female crabs. It's hard to see each other.

The crab roe is the size of a teacup, and it is slightly orange-red golden yellow after steaming, and there is a rich fragrance coming to the nose as soon as it is opened.

"Shet. It tastes amazing! Little Hilton, who smelled the scent, couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, and then she noticed this, and looked at Bird with a slightly nervous expression. Bird said louder, "Shet. It tastes great! ”

Little Hilton nervously laughed, and Qin Shiou shook his head. It seems that this girl's feelings for Bird are not just for fun.

There are many ways to make Dungeness crabs, and Americans and Canadians like to roast them with sauce when they eat them, but Qin Shiou believes that eating crabs, especially fresh crabs, must be steamed, and they are steamed in a closed way, and only in this way can the steamed crabs show their umami.

Slightly different from other crabs, Dungeness crab not only has a fresh aroma, but also a sweet taste, and it is the combination of sweetness and umami that gives it a unique 'treasure-like taste'. This smell is where the name of this crab comes from, not because it is as expensive as a treasure.

It is said that the crab was named after a group of pirates who roamed the seas all year round to plunder jewels and gold coins, and when they were caught in Alaskan waters and boiled and eaten, they thought it was the taste of a plundered treasure.

Therefore, the best way to eat this kind of crab is not to eat it little by little with a fork and a table knife like the European and American nobles, but to break it in half with your hands, and then tear and dig and eat it, because this is how those pirates, the discoverers of Dungeness crabs, ate it in the first place.

Qin Shiou carefully took off the shiny crab roe, and gave half to Winnie and half to her daughter. Because of her mother's experience of gnawing corn, the little girl learned shrewdly this time, and immediately stuffed it into her mouth after getting the crab roe.

Every time he saw his daughter eating, Qin Daguan wondered, how could her cherry mouth suddenly become so big? Half a piece of crab roe is not small, and the little girl was stunned to stuff it in......

Lori the bear smelled the sweet taste of Dungeness crab, and she ran up with small steps, staring at the melon's mouth with attentive and curious eyes. The melon also knew that this thing was delicious, and chewed it quickly with his hand over his small mouth, like a little mouse stealing food.

Winnie chuckled, and when she finished eating, she stuffed half of the piece in her hand into her, this time the little girl didn't eat, but turned her head to find the two half-sized harp seals that she had played with her in the afternoon, and ran over with her little short legs to take a bite of the seal.

This didn't make Winnie angry, the old lady saved it and fed it to you!

Qin Shiou smiled and found another piece of crab roe for Winnie, but Winnie took a bite and suddenly bent over and vomited, Qin Shiou was startled and asked, "This taste is too pungent?" ”

Winnie glanced at him hesitantly and then shook her head, Qin Shiou became nervous and asked, "Then what did you eat in the town today?" Is it a bad stomach? ”

Little Hilton said casually: "Maybe there is a child?" Yes, it's possible. ”

She laughed casually, but Winnie shrugged her shoulders and Nunu made an expression that was just that.

Qin Shiou's color suddenly changed: "! ”

At this time, there is only one word that can express his feelings!

Then he was ecstatic and exclaimed, "Is it true?" When did it happen? ”

Winnie nodded and said, "I wanted to surprise you, but now it seems that it is today, yes, I also felt it after I came back from the school donation." ”

Qin Shiou threw away the Dungeness crab casually, and in ecstasy, he hugged Winnie and turned around, and the Dungeness crab that fell to the ground caused a skirmish, and the tigers, leopards, bears and wolves smelled the sweet taste and rushed up and began to scramble, and even the mink brother and the mink sister and the king of Simba went up to snatch it.

"What's wrong with the boss?" The fishermen asked curiously as they tasted the delicious Dungeness crab.

"I don't know."

"There's a baby." Bird said.

"it!" The fishermen were also stunned. (To be continued.) )
