"There is also king crab in Australia?"

The person next to him rolled his eyes: "It's the king crab, I didn't hear it clearly." ”

A lot of people can get confused too.

King crab is also called stone crab or rock crab, that is, the crustacean of the stone crab family, not a real crab, they are mainly distributed in the cold sea, because of the huge size of the king crab named king crab, known as the "king of crabs" reputation.

The scientific name of the king crab is called the giant pseudo-shore crab, commonly known as the odd heavy pseudo-back crab and the Australian king crab.

They are red and land-ashore, and they are expert tree climbers, mainly feeding on coconut, pandanus and other fruits. King crabs are found in the western and southern waters of Australia at depths of 100 to 180 metres.

The king crab is huge, the largest exceeding fifty catties. Therefore, it is normal for a few thousand yuan a king crab, and some even cost tens of thousands of yuan a piece.

In appearance, the king crab is like a spider-like monster, and the crab legs are the main edible parts, while the Australian king crab is obviously several times larger than the block, but the shell is very soft, and the legs are short and the meat is mostly hidden in the crab body and crab claws.

"Don't salivate more than tea, hurry up and help."

The crabs poured on the deck of the fishing boat, crawling everywhere.

"Hey! What do you run? ”

I saw a crew member being chased away by a huge king crab.

"! This thing is chasing you with pincers, and you're going to have to run. The man looked back and said eloquently.

Everyone was also shocked.

The king crab looked a little terrifying, and it weighed more than sixty pounds by eyesight. What is the concept of more than sixty pounds? The weight of a piglet.

You know, it's just a crab!

"Brother Hua, is it normal for such a big sea crab?" Someone couldn't help but ask Zhang Yaohua.

Zhang Yaohua told them: "This is the heaviest crab in the world, what do you say? ”

All right!

The heaviest crab in the world, no wonder.

"I've heard that the biggest crab in the world is a killer crab, not a ......" someone wanted to retort.

"Brother Hua is talking about the heaviest, not the biggest."

"It's the biggest, isn't it the heaviest?"

Zhang Yaohua said with a smile: "The killer crab is the largest crab, mainly with long legs, and the leg length of the killer crab is more than one meter. But the killer crab actually doesn't have too much meat, and it's much worse than the emperor crab. ”

"That one is estimated to cost tens of thousands of yuan, you pay attention, don't break the pincers and crab legs."

Everyone began to collect crabs, and it was better for two people to subdue and tie up an emperor crab.

If you're not careful, let them clamp and your fingers will be snapped. Therefore, Zhang Yaohua repeatedly told everyone to be careful, not in a hurry, and take your time.

"One is enough for so many of us, right?" Ah Zhe pressed a king crab bigger than a basin and sighed.

"I don't know if it's good or not."

Generally speaking, things that grow big are not very tasty, and the meat is not tender. A crab of this size can't be said to be more than three or five years, right?

The old captain ate it, and he said, "The king crab is not bad, especially the crab legs. ”

The crab legs are the most delicious thing about the king crab, and the crab cover is rich in paste, but you can't eat it like you usually eat cream crabs, otherwise it will be very greasy.

King crabs can generally be stir-fried with ginger and shallots or used to make porridge, but there is a simple way to cook soup directly with king crabs in Australia.

Cut the whole crab into several large pieces, cook it directly in the clear soup, and cook the crab to eat it, the deliciousness of the crab meat is indescribable, and every bite is so fulfilling.

When you're almost done, drink some soup, the soup is very clear, and it goes well with the thick crab meat.

The old captain added: "I heard that this thing is also a restricted species in Australia, and the annual production is not high. We'd better just grab it and leave. ”

In case it is found by the Australian authorities, it will be troublesome.

King crab is different from king crab.

The number of king crabs is very large, and in some sea areas it has even reached the point of flooding, causing great pressure on the marine ecology and even devastating blows.

However, the king crab is the opposite.

Therefore, even in Australia, the king crab is relatively rare, and the annual catch is only sixty or seventy tons, that is, more than 100,000 catties.

Scarcity is expensive!

More than 100,000 catties will be supplied to the whole world.

Not to mention the whole world, if you put it in the Chinese market, it can't make a splash.

It is precisely because of this that the king crab has always been sold without worry, and it is priceless.

Zhang Yaohua nodded, having a general understanding of the situation of the king crab.

Like bluefin tuna, this thing has an annual catch quota. It is said that a fishing company has been competing for a quota for king crabs.

To catch king crabs, you need to pay a fishing tax to the local government.

But even if there is a fishing tax, it still can't stop the competition of those fishing companies. After all, the price of this crab is high, and the global market is so large, there is no fear of bad sales.

As long as it is caught, it can all be sold at a high price, and who doesn't like a business that makes a steady profit?

Zhang Yaohua doesn't care about the fishing quota.

Those quotas are generally used to restrict honest people.

When did countries such as Xiaori worry about fishing quotas? Bluefin tuna, for example, is overfished every year with no penalties.

At most, a few words condemned by some organization.

Chicken feathers?

Not to mention any quotas, people even blatantly violated the convention and killed whales. is condemned every year, but he just doesn't change, at most he pushes a few people out to bow and apologize.

They probably thought: I apologized, what else do you want from me?

"What does it have to do with them?" Some people are not convinced.

and they were not fished in their territorial waters.

"The problem is that people don't necessarily reason with us."

"In foreign countries, it's better for us to be cautious and not be so public." The old captain said.

To tell the truth, Zhang Yaohua's behavior of letting the fishing boat crash over really scared him, and he was too bold. Although it is very relieving, if the other party calls the relevant departments of their country, then the matter is big.

Hearing this, everyone was not strong, and the movements of their hands accelerated significantly.

Knowing that the captain has a point.

They continued to lay the net.

Zhang Yaohua instructed the chef: "Get a few to go to the kitchen and give everyone a taste." ”

"Gotcha! Leave it to me. ”

said that the net was confiscated, and when the chef made the king crab, everyone ate it first. I couldn't eat this kind of crab before, and even if I did, I couldn't bear it.

The king crab is red and white, creamy and meaty, and the crab meat is firm and refreshing.

"It's really delicious." Everyone was full of praise while eating.

It's no wonder that this crab can be on the high-end table.

"Na! Eat with a spoon. Zhang Yaohua said to everyone.

He never picks at the crew.

It is said that the hind legs and body of the king crab are best served with soup or cheese and baked noodles.

Compared with steaming, the Western-style flavor is heavier, and the taste contrast with the fresh and sweet will be produced, and the king crab crab meat is stronger than the lobster, and the Yi noodles with the flavor are more delicious.

But the conditions on board are limited, so it is not so particular.
