528. Cooperate with Nima
Sardine is not a specific fish name, it is the general name of the herring family in Asia, such as the Atlantic herring in the Qinshiou fishing grounds, the famous Norwegian herring, can be called sardines.
This fish can be canned and has a medium flavor in fish, but for tuna, this fish is simply delicious!
Why did Qin Shiou's batch of bluefin tuna run away to the fishing ground and not want to leave? I just can't let go of these abundant and delicious herrings.
Bluefin tuna is also a very difficult fish because it uses percussive breathing, and when swimming, they always have to open their mouths to let the water flow through their gills and breathe in oxygen. In this way, they can only continue to swim at high speed throughout their lives, even at night, without rest, but only slow down their swimming speed and reduce their metabolism.
It's hard to breathe and it's even harder to eat, bluefin tuna are picky about their food, so why do they go on ocean cruises? It's about finding food that will satisfy them.
There are two difficulties in cultivating bluefin tuna, one is space, bluefin tuna needs a huge space to move, and the second is food, their requirements for the quality of edible fish are as high as humans!
What Tezuka Kota said seemed to make sense, the Daqin Fishery was rich in sardines, and the fishing grounds were George Shoal to the south and St. Lawrence Bay to the northwest, both of which were rich in bluefin tuna, so he seemed right to speculate.
But Qin Shiou was not stupid, he looked at Tezuka Kota, slowly restrained his smile and asked, "Mr. Tezuka, your fishing boat did not detect a school of sardines, but a school of bluefin tuna, right?" ”
As he spoke, he looked at Butler.
There were no boats around his fishing grounds. In addition to his own boat, which Butler sent when he went to pick up the eight-eyed eels and the tuna king.
Fishing boats often have fish finders and sonars and the like. It's not impossible to stumble upon bluefin tuna in the deep waters of the fishing grounds.
Butler grinned awkwardly as he watched. He lowered his head and took a sip of sake, not looking up.
Tezuka Kota filled Qin Shiou with a glass of wine, and said with a smile: "Qin Sang is really a clear-eyed person, so I'll just say it directly, Qin Sang, can we cooperate?" If we can get four or five more bluefin tuna of this quality, we can join forces to dominate the Tokyo market! ”
Or four or five? There are indeed so many Lao Tzu Fishing Grounds, but it is impossible to give them all to you!
Competition can only offer high prices, Qin Shiou still understands this truth.
Tezuka Kota looked directly at Qin Shiou with a calm expression and said, "Qin Sang." You may not know that the tuna in your fishery is so good! In the past two days, my sushi restaurant has been full of diners, and how many big names have called me to save some for them to try, but I have never tasted such good tuna sushi! The quality of the meat can only be described as unprecedented! ”
Qin Shiou smiled bitterly, spread out his hand and said helplessly: "Tezuka-san, you have to figure out first, first, it is impossible for every tuna to be so big and have such a meat quality; Second. Tuna don't belong somewhere, they don't have a permanent home, today they are in my fishing grounds, tomorrow they may go to the South Atlantic. ”
Takata Tezuka raised his eyebrows. "It's not a problem, number one, as long as it's tuna. Then the meat quality will not be any worse; Second, as long as you are here today. We just need to send fast trawlers ......"
As soon as he heard this guy, Qin Shiou's good impression of him immediately dissipated. With a smile on his face, he was already scolding in his heart.
Fast trawlers are a type of boat that specializes in dealing with tuna, because tuna swim fast and vigilant, and will speed up to flee when they perceive a trawler approaching them, for which the omnipotent human has developed fast trawlers.
It is this kind of boat that leads to the endangerment of tuna, otherwise how many tuna can be caught just by rod fishing? In Canada and the United States, such vessels are no longer allowed to be used, as are purse seine vessels.
Tezuka Kota said this, it can be described as a desperate plan, as long as this boat is really used, no one will want to run large and small tuna.
Butler, who loves money, cares for the sea far more than the Japanese, who can only destroy, shook his head when he heard this, and said, "No, guys, you must not do this!" Bluefin tuna can be caught, but trawl nets must not be used! ”
If one person advocates one person and opposes one person does not speak, the atmosphere is more awkward.
At this time, Nishimura came up and told Tezuka Kota that the ingredients for the bluefin tuna were ready, and Tezuka Kota took the opportunity to step down and said, "Speaking of which, my Tezuka family has been making sushi and sashimi for generations, but I'm ashamed that I didn't learn my ancestors' cooking skills about traditional food." However, I still have some research on the practice of bluefin tuna, and I hope that you can taste it today. ”
As long as he doesn't talk about business, Qin Shiou is still happy to play with Takatsuka Kota, and of course it's better to eat and drink.
When Takita Tezuka left, Qin Shiou and Butler started talking, and said unhappily that he had nothing to do to check his fishing grounds.
Butler explained with a bitter face that he was also unintentional, when the fishing boat was passing through the deep sea area, he spotted four or five large fish, and at first he didn't think much about it, thinking it was sharks or something.
When Qin Shiou asked him to deal with this tuna king, he reacted immediately, those big fish were all bluefin tuna! Then he came to Tokyo to contact Tezuka Kota, and one time he drank too much, so he came out of the matter and was remembered by Tezuka Kota.
Qin Shiou secretly scolded himself for being dead, if he kept a low profile, where would there be so many things? However, this kind of thing can't be suppressed, and starting next year, the Daqin Fishery will still send bluefin tuna out in a blowout.
Half an hour later, the main meal began, and a series of traditional Japanese dishes were served, and the highlight was naturally the bluefin tuna meal made by Kota Tezuka.
Tezuka made a gesture of please, then picked up a plate of fried black meat slices and invited them to eat.
Qin Shiou didn't eat it directly, the last time he participated in the Eskimo Seal Carnival, he was scared out of the psychological shadow by the dish 'Kiwiak', you must know that the Japanese are well-known experts in dark cuisine, this thing is so strange, he can't think of what it is.
Butler pinched a piece and tasted it, nodding while eating, so that Qin Shiou ate a piece, a bit like fried jerky, sprinkled with cumin powder on the outside, it tasted crispy and delicious, and the more you chewed, the more fragrant it became.
Seeing that they all ate, Tezuka Kota smiled and asked, "How does it taste, gentlemen?" ”
Qin Shiou nodded and praised: "It's really delicious, may I ask Tezuka-san, what kind of cuisine is this?" ”
"This is one of our sushi samadhi's signature dishes, fried tuna scales!" Takata Tezuka said proudly.
Dry-fried tuna scales? Qin Shiou had eaten similar fried fish scales when he was in China, so he didn't have much psychological pressure, but he felt that this way of eating was a bit novel.
Bluefin tuna look very smooth, in fact, they also have fish scales, fish scales are the black membrane on the surface of the fish, many people think that this is their skin, in fact, the skin is still underneath, the color is silver-gray. (To be continued......) R1292
