93. Bold fisherman
Turbot and queen crab are the main dishes of the day.
Two turbot and a Qin Shiou made an oil splash, and after he cleaned up the fish, he made a few cuts on his back and put slices of green onion and ginger to remove the fishy, and of course, sprinkled with cooking wine and pepper.
Here the fish is marinated, and the other side is boiled with water in a steamer, then the fish is put in a cage and steamed on high heat for 10 minutes, then the steamed water is taken out and poured out, and the onions, ginger and garlic that were stuffed in before are removed, and put in a large plate.
Taking advantage of the heat of the fish, Qin Shiou spread the shredded green onion and coriander on the fish, and finally poured the sauce made from a mixture of soy sauce, vinegar, oil consumption and steamed fish soy sauce on the fish, and the dish was baked.
This kind of turbot, which can also be said to be steamed turbot, is the most commonly used method, because the fish meat of this fish is particularly delicious, steaming can best retain the umami of the fish, and splashing it with oil can increase the fragrance, and the fish that comes out of this way is very delicious.
The other is a grilled fish, before grilling, you need to smear a layer of olive oil on the fish, so that you can lock in the moisture in the fish, and when grilling, you will continue to brush the oil upwards, and finally the fish must still be snow-white after cooking.
Shaq is a good barbecuer, and a turbot rolls quickly in his hand, and finally serves on the table, and after cutting it with a knife, the fish is as white as tender tofu from the inside out.
"Good craft, man!" Vail and Shaq high-fived and praised.
The construction of the wharf is a big project, Weier brought an engineering team over, there were sixty people, Qin Shiou left them all, but it is impossible to have dishes like them on every table.
He ordered food from Daddy Hickson's restaurant, and the old man helped him all evening, and there were six tables on the beach, with large pieces of barbecue, large bottles of beer, and the workers enjoying cold beer and delicious seafood in the sea breeze.
Although there are only two turbot, there are enough snow crabs, and more than ten catties of big crabs are placed on each table, and as soon as the red steamed crabs are on the table, there are cheers.
The queen crab is not a big road product, and you know that the price will not be low when you hear the name, and a queen crab of more than ten catties will cost at least 100 yuan to 150 yuan.
As for turbot, it is more expensive, and this big fish has to be sold for 30 Canadian dollars a pound in the seafood market.
Qin Shiou's table was him and the three cadres of the fishing ground, Auerbach and others, and the other was Weir and the five captains of the construction group, of course, Xiong Da, Huzi and Leopard were all sitting next to Qin Shiou, behaving well, like three children.
Except for Qin Shiou and Auerbach, everyone else had a glass of cold beer per person, and Hughes sent ten barrels, which was a full five hundred catties of beer.
It was almost time to eat, and Weir stood up and shouted, "Brothers, be quiet, let Qin say a few words to us!" We have to thank him for providing us with a big deal and inviting us to enjoy a seafood feast! ”
"Qin, thank you!" The workers sincerely said that the renovation of the wharf will take at least a month, so that they can get full salaries and bonuses this month, which is not easy in Canada, which is not easy in the economic downturn.
Qin Shiou stood up with his wine glass, he made a toast gesture in all directions, and then said in a loud voice: "What I want to say is, guys, open dinner!" Guys, let's eat, let's drink! Have fun eating, have fun drinking! ”
The workers laughed and shouted, "Okay, eat and drink!" ”
After sitting down, Qin Shiou first tore a piece of barbecue turbot to eat, this fish he has long admired in China, called treasure fish, expensive, only heard of it and never eaten, now it can finally be let go of eating.
As the 'most delicious flounder', the barbecued turbot is not a bit of firewood, and as soon as you chew this meat, there is a delicious juice splashing out, and the unique flavor of seafood bursts in the mouth, making people appetite at once.
"I'm going to try the cod from our fishery." Shaq smiled, he cut it with a knife and fork, put it in his mouth and chewed a few bites, his eyes widened all of a sudden, he didn't care that the fish had not been swallowed, he shouted to Qin Shiou, "Boss, taste it, God, I have never eaten such a great cod!" ”
Qin Shiou thought that he meant that the fish in his fishing ground was delicious, so he cut a piece in his mouth and nodded: "It's really delicious......
As he spoke, chewing the fish, Qin Shiou suddenly noticed the difference, when he came to Farewell Island, he didn't eat less cod, the meat of cod is actually a little astringent, which is a common disease of big fish.
If the meat of a big fish could be as delicate as tofu, it wouldn't be at that price, why could bluefin tuna sell for $1,000 a kilogram? Isn't it the most delicate fish?
But Qin Shiou is now eating the meat of the cod, he feels that the fish meat is really delicious and delicate, and the fish is sticky after a few gentle chews in his mouth, the taste is very fragrant, and there is no fishy smell of fish.
In addition, the fish is particularly delicious, this dish is pan-fried cod, and the lemon juice is poured at the end, and the result is a light lemon juice throughout, which is simply wonderful.
"How so?" Qin Shiou frowned and asked, he guessed the reason, that is, after the improvement of the Seagod's energy, the meat of this cod became extremely delicate, which means that the strain of this fish has improved.
The sea monster, Auerbach, and Nelson saw that they didn't look like they were fake, and they all stretched out their knives and forks to the dish with the cod in front of them.
Whether it's barbecued, steamed or stewed cod, the three of them also have incredible looks on their faces after eating it.
"I've never eaten such delicious cod, guys, I've never eaten it!" Nelson exclaimed in disbelief.
The sea monster nodded wildly, and Auerbach seemed to fall into memory, and finally he glanced at Qin Shiou meaningfully, and said: "This may be related to the skill of the vegetable cook, I used to eat the cod made by Mr. Qin Hongde, and it is also so delicate and delicious!" ”
He told him that when his grandfather was in charge of the fishery, cod was a similar species.
However, it is obvious that the old man did not expose this mutated cod to the market, which is related to the character of the older generation of Chinese.
Vail also gave a thumbs up after tasting it, and he praised Qin Shiou: "Qin, I bet that if you don't become a fisherman but open a restaurant, then your restaurant must be the first in Newfoundland!" Customers will squeeze your door open! ”
Qin Shiou smiled in a low-key manner, learning from his grandfather and began to hide his clumsiness, and greeted everyone vigorously: "Eat, eat, drink, drink, it doesn't matter if he is delicious or not, everyone likes it, eat hard!" ”
Saying this, Qin Shiou began to think about it, as soon as the quality of this cod improved, the taste became so delicious, it definitely couldn't be sold as an ordinary fish.
In addition, almost all the fish in the fishery have been improved by the energy of the sea god, but the amount of energy is just how much, it is estimated that the cod here will be more tender than other fishing grounds, so he is not going to make a special supply, contact the top restaurants in Europe, America, Japan, South Korea and China for special supply.
Qin Shiou separated the two cod heads, one for Xiong Da and the other for the tiger and leopard.
The bear held the head of the fish and opened its mouth and began to gnaw on it, it was not afraid of being pierced by fish bones, of course, the mucous membrane of the bear's mouth was very tough, and it was not afraid of fish bones when eaten raw.
The tiger and the leopard ate very carefully, and although the cod head was delicious, the two little ones still nibbled on it in small bites - they had been stuck before, and with lesson came experience.
As the sun set, the sea surface of the fishing ground was illuminated orange and red, Qin Shiou looked at the soft sea drunkenly, and his heart was very calm, as if his soul had been baptized before **.
Weir sat next to him and said enviously: "Qin, you are like a Garden of Eden here, you and your guys are not bothered by the damn things of the world, you don't have to worry about the price of housing falling and rising, you don't have to think about how the price of goods will change tomorrow, this kind of life is simply too enviable." ”
Qin Shiou smiled: "Yes, I am very satisfied with my current life, when I was in Huaxia before, I had to squeeze the bus, eat and sleep every day in order to survive, at that time life was like a war, survival is simply to live, there is no fun." ”
As he spoke, he stood up and took a photo with his mobile phone and sent it to QQ Space, and remarked a sentence next to him: From today onwards, facing the sea, spring flowers are blooming!
